Mercedes Stephenson, Safer Internet Day, Protecting Whistle Blowers in Canada, Tech Tuesday with ”Gadget Guy” Mike Yawney

We begin with our weekly conversation with Mercedes Stephenson, Global News Ottawa Bureau Chief and Host of “The West Block”. Mercedes brings us the latest on the ongoing Trucker Protest, now in its 12th day, which has made life very difficult for residents living in Ottawa’s downtown core. Today, is “Safer Internet Day,” a chance to shine the spotlight on the dangers our kids are exposed to in the “online world”. We discuss the issue and what we, as parents, can do to safeguard our children with Kristen Duval, a Senior Research Analyst with the RCMP. According to a recent study, Canada ranks among the worst countries for protecting ‘whistle blowers’. We get the details of the study and what more needs to be done to protect those who have a need to come forward with issues in the workplace with Tom Devine, Legal Director of the ‘Government Accountability Project’.
