Budget Releases, Hallmark Movies & Marineland

Missed the show? No worries, we've got you covered with the ON Point podcast. 

On this episode, Alex starts off speaking with the Parliamentary Budget Officer Yves Giroux. They talk about the release of the first budget from this Liberal government in 2 years because of the pandemic. Alex and Yves discuss what is expected in the budget release, why the liberals are being pressured by the opposition to balance the budget, and why this budget is making Mr. Giroux "pull out his hair if he had any to pull".
Next, Alex speaks with Jesse Prupas, the Vice-President of Development and Distribution for Muse Entertainment. They talk about why so many hallmark movies are being made in Canada, and why the industry...and specifically the movies, are great for the Canadian film industry.
And finally, Alex talks with Camille Labchuck, the Executive Director of Animal Justice. They talk about Niagara Regional Police charging Marineland with using its whales and dolphins for entertainment, something that is now illegal in Canada. Alex and Camille talk about why the culture has changed, what is expected next for Marineland, and how we should observe these animals safely.
