	Description:		How close are we to gender parity among our political candidates? Lori Lee Oates from Equal Voice Canada joins us to discuss how many women are running for office in the 44th Federal election. We take a tour of the Torngat Fish Producers Fish Plant in Nain to check out how they make their smoked char. Two women who lost family members recently say medical delays had a part to play, and now they're taking action. We hear from Mallory Harrigan and Marlene Brown. Halfway through a 600-kilometre run, we catch up with Tommy Poker, who is raising money for his brother's kidney transplant. Joan Dicker tells us about what you can see at the Illusuak Cultural Centre in Nain, and for Throwback Thursday we head back to 2014 to hear from the architect who designed the centre in the first place. Finally, CBC House Doctor Peter Lin tells us about a Covid resurgence in a highly vaccinated country, and what we can do to avoid the same fate.
