Thousands of Jasper residents, and visitors to Jasper National Park have been forced to flee due to a wildfire evacuation order. Ontario resident Stephanie Goertz tells us about she and her family's evacuation from Jasper; CBC reporter Liam Britten joins us from Kamloops; and Clearwater Mayor Merlin Blackwell joins us to talk about wildfire's impact on B.C. tourism. Then, we talk with U.B.C. Sauder School of Business marketing teacher Tim Silk about the pros and cons of a cashless society. We ask listeners to call us about whether it should be mandatory for vendors to accept cash.
