ListenHockey great, Gordie Howe died at the age of 88
The man many consider the greatest hockey player of all time, Gordie Howe, was buried in Detroit this past Wednesday.
Howe, who played 33 professional seasons, died June 10th at the age of 88. Not only was Howe a great player–good enough to be called “Mr. Hockey,” but he set a standard on how players–especially great players–should act.
Terry Haig talked to noted sports commentator and author Bruce Dowbiggin about that and Howe’s many other legacies.
Why too many Canadian children are sleep deprived
New research suggests Canadian children may be sleep deprived because they don’t get enough exercise and spend too much time in front of their screens.
For details, Levon spoke with Allana LeBlanc, an exercise physiologist and population health specialist at ParticipAction, a group that spearheaded the study.
Canada plans to strengthen border controls
The Canadian government is considering a law that would allow it to collect information on people who are leaving the country. Canada is the only member of the five-nation security group (which includes the U.S., U.K., Australia and New Zealand) that does not already record this kind of information about its own citizens.
To find out exactly Canada is planning and why, Lynn Desjardins spoke with Wesley Wark, an intelligence and security expert and visiting professor at the University of Ottawa.
