Conservative Finance Critic Jasraj Hallan

The Liberal government is painting a rosy picture of Canada's financial situation — but we'll ask the Conservative finance critic for his assessment of the spring economic statement. There's a lot of talk about petitions and referendums on the subject of Alberta separating from Canada — but a new poll of Albertans suggests that actual support for the idea remains tepid. A winner in this year’s World Press Photo Contest tells us about her work documenting labour abuses in Saudi Arabia — including a mother and her daughter who was forced to live for years without legally existing. A colleague remembers American diplomat Lionel Rosenblatt — who led an unsanctioned trip to Vietnam in the last days of the war, to get hundreds of Vietnamese civilians safely out. A Winnipeg woman was mid-chat with friends not far from her house when she suddenly found herself armpit-deep underground. She'll share the hole story. A group of customers sue Trader Joe's after a discovery that made them angry and sleepy: they learned the store had sold them half-caf coffee without divulging that it was half-caf. As It Happens, the Tuesday Edition. Radio that figures you can stir that coffee — but it won't stir you.
