Low Interest Rates and the Cost of Government Debt, Treatment of Children in Canada, Trico LivingWell on Senior’s Week and Rainbow House in Lethbridge

We begin with a look at interest rates, specifically, the effect ‘rising’ interest rates will have on the financial ‘bottom line’ of the Federal Government. We hear details on a new report on the topic from the Fraser Institute. Is Canada failing to protect its Children? We catch up with Sara Austin, CEO of “Children First Canada”, who brings us the results of a new study which indicates we have some work to do, in the area of children’s rights compared other countries, across the globe. The Province of Alberta has proclaimed this week as “Seniors’ Week!”.  We speak with Grace Su, Executive Director of “Trico LivingWell” for details on the many unique activities being offered up, to help keep seniors active. Finally, we meet Ken Seiver, a Lethbridge man who owns the most ‘eye catching’ house in town. Ken explains why he chose to paint his bungalow in the colours of the rainbow and the incredible reaction he’s received from the community.
