What last-minute question do you need answered before you vote?
The federal election is on Monday, April 28th. But there's still a daily barrage of announcements, attack ads and press conferences. Maybe you need more information before you vote. Maybe there's one issue you are hung up on before you cast your ballot. What question do you still need answered before you vote? We've got two guests to answer your questions. Chris Cochrane is an associate professor of political science at the University of Toronto. And Laura Osman is the parliamentary correspondent for The Logic. Send your questions to cbc.ca/myquestion.
What questions do you have about video games — and your relationship with video games?
We've come a long way since the days of Super Mario. Gaming is everywhere now. Apparently just over half of Canadians play video games according to industry numbers. And the games themselves have evolved from two-dimensional, simplistic adventures… to three dimensional worlds with complicated moral choices that can suck up hours of your time. We want to hear how video games have affected your life — both positively and negatively. What questions do you have about video games — and your relationship with video games? Chelsea Rodrigues is a counsellor who focuses on problem technology use at Hôtel-Dieu Grace Healthcare centre in Windsor. Samantha Stahlke is a former game developer and instructor at Ontario Tech University. They'll take your questions. And Jake Uskoski will join us as well. He's recovering from a video game disorder and will tell us why he's quit playing games — but still makes them for fun. Send your questions to cbc.ca/myquestion.
