HST goes to court
The HST is turning into a political hot potato that’s going from the legislative frying pan into the courtroom fire. SFU business and marketing expert Lindsay Meredith can analyse who is frying whom as both the business community and HST opponents, led by former Premier Bill Vander Zalm, take each other to court.

Hot times can be deadly
While B.C. is waiting for a predicted heat wave that is supposed to engulf the coast later this week, people living on the eastern seaboard in the United States are sweltering in record high temperatures. Tim Takaro, an expert on occupational and environmental health, can talk about why an increase in deadly heat waves, likely related to climate change, have been killing more middle-aged and elderly people.
