Atlantic Canada faces many issues, but one that is especially troubling is how fast young people are leaving and how few ever come back. In this show, I hope to start conversations around issues that are important to the youth of our region and provide a youth perspective that is often left out of discussions.

<p>Generally speaking, Atlantic Canadians like to boast about our affordable living situations, however, things may not be as they seem. In our urban areas, we have seen the cost of rents and housing prices explode, skyrocketing at an almost dizzy pace. This puts an incredible amount of financial pressure on young people and other low-income groups. So what can be done to help keep people housed? </p> <p>I chat with two people from the PEI Fight For Affordable Housing who are working hard to help find solutions on Prince Edward Island. Ainsley Kendrick and Connor Kelly discuss the issues they see with the current system and suggest ideas on how we can help renters find affordable housing. </p>

<p>Post-Secondary students have been struggling under the new challenges faced by the pandemic and the lack of accessibility to proper online materials. In New Brunswick, the New Brunswick Student Alliance has stepped up to fight for resources to help these young people survive during these challenging times. I chat with Wasiimah Joomun about some key issues and what is being done by student leaders and the government. We also discuss the importance of investing in students to ensure more recent graduates stay within the Province of New Brunswick. </p>

<p>Have you ever wanted to get more involved in activism or politics, but it feels like there is a mountain of things you need to know first? Fear not! I chat with the newly minted Interim Leader of the New Brunswick New Democrat Party, Chris Thompson. We talk about our experiences on how we got started in politics and how important it is for engaged people to get involved. We also talk about what it's like to be the Interim Leader of a political party as a youth and how to make the changes you want to see happen.</p> <p>Rest assured, getting started is not as hard as you may think!</p>
