Keeping Travel Dreams Alive, You Can't Ask That, School Calls and Widows During COVID

Mariane McGraw director of the second season of You Can’t Ask that on CBC Gem asks all the questions you would feel too awkward to ask yourself. It’s been a tough year for businesses, so it’s a delight when we get to celebrate a Canadian, women-led business that has seen its sales increase a whopping 77% in the last year. Neetu Godara, is the Co-Founder and Chief Growth Officer of SoCIAL LITE Vodka and she joins me to share a little bit of the story behind their success. Parents have an unspoken expectation that their children are a reflection of their most enlightened selves. All your good qualities on display in a smaller, younger person. When the school calls about a behaviour issue, that expectation gets challenged or shattered. Not only are you feeling caught off guard, your blood pressure rises and you’re already imagining the end of your child’s life at your hands. Before you go off the deep end, take a deep breath and listen to what Aly Pain has to say on the issue. I’m starting to think that I should re-locate What She Said to Barbados after my interview with Tania Kedikian from DEVELOPMENT COUNSELLORS INTERNATIONAL (DCI), one of the leading consultancy companies in marketing places. Tania is here to inspire us to keep dreaming of travel with a few of their top destinations. Anne Brodie joins me to share details on Percy, a new film with Christopher Walken as the lead that chronicles the true story of Percy Schmeiser a Canadian organic canola farmer who stood up to American agrochemical and agricultural biotechnology corporation Monsanto and won.

Under the umbrella of Covid, it can be especially difficult.
