This Lockdown Might Kill Restaurants As We Know Them, A 10-yr-old Killed By the Taliban & Inflations Rates are Higher

Missed the show? No worries, we've got you covered with the ON Point podcast.
On this episode, Alex starts off speaking with Charles Khabouth, the Owner of INK Entertainment. They talk about the new announcement from the province to reduce capacity limits to 50% in restaurants, and to further limit the amount of revenue the industry is allowed to recoup after the past 20 months. Alex and Charles talk about how his many businesses around the city have lost reservations, may have to lay off staff again, and why this might be the last nail in the coffin for many in the industry.
Next, Alex talks with Kynan Walper, the Operations Officer for Aman Lara, a charitable organization that helps to get people out of Afghanistan and into Canada. They talk about the 10-year-old girl who was shot by the Taliban while her and her parents were trying to leave the country...legally. Alex and Kynan talk about the bureaucratic red-tape that kept the family there, even though they were cleared to leave, why Canada is failing anyone left in Afghanistan, and why time is almost out.
And finally, Alex and Derek Holt, the Vice President and Head of Capital Markets Economics at Scotiabank in Toronto. Discuss why Derek believes the inflation rate is actually much higher than the Bank of Canada is reporting.
