Welcome to The Morning News Podcast for Tuesday, November 3rd. We begin with a look-ahead to the US election. We catch up with Mike Armstrong, Global News National Correspondent who is stationed in Pennsylvania for election day. We get a breakdown on what the candidates have planned for the final hours before the polls close. Next we catch up with Mercedes Stephenson – Global News Ottawa Bureau Chief and Host of “The West Block”. Mercedes shares with us the conversation she had with Dr. Theresa Tam on the impact the “2nd Wave” of COVID-19 is having – coast to coast. The pandemic continues to put a strain on people’s mental health. We speak with former Calgary Flame Colin Patterson about an organization he’s involved with which takes aim at mental health issues and trauma. We learn about the resources available from the ‘Breaking Free Foundation’. And finally, he snaps pictures of forgotten locations across the province – and he’s gained quite the following doing so. We meet the man behind “Abandoned Alberta”.
