Aug. 24, 2022 - Zellers is Back! Will It Survive This Time? Plus, Dodgeball 101 & #MyJasper Memories

5:47 | Does RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki have any idea what's going on within Canada's national police force? The question is fair, after her damning testimony at the Mass Casualty Commission following the horrific mass shooting in Nova Scotia in April of 2020. Ryan opens the show summarizing what Canada's top cop told (or didn't tell) the MCC over the past couple of days. 

17:44 | Iconic retailer Zellers is coming back...but will Canadians support it? Will the return to brick and mortar work for the formerly-popular discount retailer? Consumer behaviour expert Heather Thomson tells us why Zellers closed years ago, and what to watch for when it opens its doors again.
