Federal campaign tricks, New York businesses missing Canadian tourists, seniors in Hong Kong cope with loneliness, and more
Episode description
Time is running out for leaders to sell their pitches to voters, with the federal campaign entering its final weeks. The Conservative party is accusing the Liberals of attempting to bring American style politics to Canada - after Liberal operatives planted buttons with divisive messages at a Conservative conference in Ottawa last week.
Also: More than 20 million Canadians visited the U.S. last year. But those numbers are shrinking, as political tensions and tariff concerns start to spill over into tourism. You'll hear from business owners in New York and New Jersey - on how the lack of Canadian tourists is affecting their bottom line
And: Hong Kong is seeing an increase in the number of elderly people coping with loneliness. As many young professionals move away for opportunities, their aging parents are looking for ways to avoid falling into social isolation.
Plus: More confusion over U.S. tariffs, Gaza's last functioning hospital hit by Israeli airstrikes, and more.
