      <itunes:duration>00:27:21</itunes:duration>
      <itunes:summary>The Globe and Mail Today is featuring an article about the new bill that lowers the number of votes needed for a referendum in Alberta, and how it increases the risk of foreign interference in Canada. Plus, Corinna Van Dusen shares a story about Rob Ford, as the other article from the show is about the new Trainwreck: Mayor of Mayhem documentary on Netflix. 

An article from Macleans proposes some new ways to encourage young people to join the Canadian Military. While the title is off-putting, Amy Amantea shares the most interesting points with us today. 

Shaun Preece from Double Tap joins AMI Today to tell us about the AI Powered Alexa Plus, 

Kelly MacDonald is reflecting on the past 9 years of Kelly and Company, and today Alex Smyth is joining him on his show to talk about Para Sport Nation. Plus, he starts a conversation about cruise ship accessibility. 

The Washington Post is analyzing the new levy that is being put on electric vehicles in the United States. Jacob quickly summarizes that article for us. </itunes:summary>

Mike Ross is sharing the details from that article and clearing up some of our confusion. 

Android has announced a few updates to Talk Back, including the implementation of Gemini AI described images. Shaun Preece from Double Tap joins us with the latest Android news.

      <title>The Feature: Amy Amantea&apos;s Audio Play Disability Tour Bus - Tuesday September 17th, 2024</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Amy Amantea is an artist, actor, advocate, and regular contributor to AMI Today! Amy recently celebrated the release of an audio play that she’s been working on for a few years called Disability Tour Bus.</p><p>Amy co-wrote the play that follows Shiloh, a young wheelchair-user, as they navigate their first day as a guide for “Funcouver Bus tours”. Working alongside longtime employee and relentless dad-joker, Hugh, Shiloh struggles to stick to the “funcouver” script when so much of “Canada’s most wheelchair-accessible city” is still so incredibly inaccessible. </p><p>People and politics collide until a new passenger, Tess, played by Amy Amantea, comes aboard and offers unexpected common ground. The tour must go on! Because there’s someone special waiting for Tess at the end. At least she hopes there is. </p><p>Highlights:</p><ul><li>Show Intro (00:00)</li><li>Coming Up with Nisreen Abdel-Majid (00:18)</li><li>Introducing Amy Amantea (3:17)</li><li>Sample of “Disability Tour Bus” (6:56)</li><li>Tess and other characters from “Disability Tour Bus” (12:00)</li><li>Reception of “Disability Tour Bus” (19:57)</li></ul>
