Russia’s invasion of Ukraine globally impacted energy supplies, prompting many countries to explore more options around nuclear power. Matt Galloway talks to Mark Hibbs, an expert on the European nuclear industry; Canadian Nuclear Laboratories President and CEO Joe McBrearty; and Susan O'Donnell, adjunct research professor for the environment and society program at St. Thomas University in Fredericton, N.B.
Then, we continue our Reasons for Optimism series with Michael McCain, the CEO of Maple Leaf Foods, one of Canada's largest food producers.
And proposed judicial reform in Israel has prompted thousands to take to the streets in protest. We talk to Dahlia Scheindlin, a political analyst and fellow at the think tank The Century Foundation; Eli Lipshitz, the spokesperson and first secretary for public diplomacy for the Embassy of Israel in Canada; and Diana Buttu, a lawyer and former adviser to the negotiating team of the Palestine Liberation Organization.
