    Episode 6.73 - Lawyer & Alberta Party Leader Lindsay Amantea!

    With changes to FOIP legislation, the surprise firing of the AIMCO board, a UCP legislative agenda that’s entirely about social regression with nothing to address cost of living and a byelection looking in Lethbridge, we figured it was time to sit down for another conversation with Alberta Party leader Lindsay Amantea!

    Episode 6.72 - Alberta Insurance Increases with Lawyer Mark McCourt!

    Albertans have been facing steadily increasing insurance costs since the UCP came to power. Recently the UCP announced that they would be moving Alberta to “no fault” insurance, but what does that mean and does it actually translate into cheaper insurance for good drivers?

    Episode 6.71 - Navigating Misinformation and Conspiracy Theories with Timothy Caulfield!

    With so many conspiracy theories, misinformation and disinformation being shared both intentionally and unintentionally, how are Albertans supposed to navigate the minefield that our information ecosystem has become? In this episode we sit down with renowned expert in navigating that minefield, Timothy Caulfield to try and figure exactly that out! From his Univeristy of Alberta bio... "Timothy Caulfield is a Professor in the Faculty of Law and the School of Public Health, and Research Director of the Health Law Institute at the University of Alberta. He was the Canada Research Chair in Health Law and Policy for over 20 years (2002 - 2023). His interdisciplinary research on topics like stem cells, genetics, research ethics, the public representations of science, and public health policy has allowed him to publish almost 400 academic articles. He has won numerous academic, science communication, and writing awards, and is a Member of the Order Canada and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, the Canadian Academy of Health Sciences, and the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry."

    Episode 6.70 - Janis Irwin & Rakhi Pancholi

    Welcome to our new episode, a conversation with NDP MLA's Janis Irwin and Rakhi Pancholi! In this episode we get into the sweeping changes that the UCP are introducing to Alberta's political landscape, including the changes to electoral boundaries, the Freedom Of Information Act, changes to the conflict of interest act, anti trans policies and more! We also take some time to talk about what issues the NDP would like to see government pursuing instead of making government more opaque and less accountable to Albertans!

    Episode 6.69 - Parental Rights with Legal Scholar Florence Ashley!

    What are parental rights? With Danielle Smith and the UCP using parental rights as a justification for pushing forward policies that many legal scholars are condemning as being gross violations of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, we wanted to get a better understanding of what "parental rights" even mean and where they start and stop. In order to do that, we're sitting down with legal scholar and award winning advoacte, Florence Ashley! Florence served as a clerk in the Supreme Court of Canada under Justice Sheilah Martin and is currently an Assistant Professor at the University of Alberta Faculty of Law, so she's more than qualified to walk us not only through "parental rights" but also the reality of what the "notwithstanding clause" actually is!

    Episode 6.67 - The UCP’s changes to curriculum and education with Dr. Carla Peck!

    Remember all that curriculum kerfuffle? Jason Kenney campaigned on running the ready to be implemented curriculum through the shredder, but what the UCP brought forward initially was the dumpster fire to end all dumpster fires. The UCP took the social studies curriculum back and rewrote it, but how does that new curriculum measure up? To find out we're super excited to welcome back to the program none other than curriculum expert, Dr. Carla Peck! Plus, we get into what Danielle Smith's new changes to education and education delivery mean for how education can be developed and implemented going forward!
