Dusty Zamecnik is the General Manager of EZ Grow Farms in Norfolk County and mainly deals with propagating strawberries for larger farms or distribution centres.

Next, after Premier Ford announced that his government had reached an agreement with Indigenous groups to start building roads in Northern Ontario, host Alex Pierson asks a question that's plagued this province for decades...does this mean the Ring of Fire can finally be developed? To get the answers, Alex speaks with Heather Exner-Pirot the director of natural resources, energy and the environment as well as a Sr. Fellow at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute. Heather breaks down why the Ring of Fire has taken so long to see any progress, and why this mineral rich region is not only beneficial for Ontario, but for Canada as a whole!

And Finally, Alex speaks with a Basset Hound Breeder, Trina Gallop about the new changes coming to crossing the border with your dog. The new CDC rules could deeply affect the bottom line of breeders, show dogs and even those who just want to travel. Trina tells Alex how her industry is still reeling from this information, how it will affect her business and what the Canadian Kennel Club is doing to combat this.
