Episode Description

Data from Statistics Canada shows fewer Canadians travelling to the United States, compared to last year. They’re discouraged by political and economic tensions. But there is a twist. American tourists into Canada seem undeterred. In fact -- their numbers are up.


And: Prime Minister Mark Carney says Canadians need to be prepared for sacrifices. Many are already struggling with affording essentials like groceries. He says he recognizes the pressures Canadians are facing, but there will be no quick fix. 


Also: In Canada's public libraries, e-books are having a moment. Readers are turning to the convenience of digital, and turning the page on print. But this surge in popularity also comes with a price… for the libraries themselves.


Plus: Ukraine offers compromise for peace, Yukon freeze, a look at Kurt Oatway, one of Canada's top Paralympic medal hopefuls, and more.
