The Breakdown With Nate Pike The Breakdown

With the UCP making major changes to how "problem" bears are "managed", in that they're allowing anyone with a hunting license to enter a lottery to win the opportunity to kill a grizzly bear, we're sitting down with Bear Expert and NDP MLA Dr. Sarah Elmeligi to find out why this is a terrible idea and most importantly, why it won't work!

What's the deal with the Skybox Scandal?

Alberta Politics moves fast, and that's made it hard to keep up with everything that goes on!

instructor and effort to try and make sure that the more complex stories don't fall through the cracks, we're trying a new "rapid response" mini episode format, where from time to time, we'll do a quick but deep dive on a story that's making waves in Alberta Politics. For our first one, we take a look at the skybox and gifting scandal currently plaguing the UCP!

With provincial and national politicians using the work of columnists and writers to justify their policy decisions, particularly in the realm of addictions and mental health issues, we put together a panel that you won't want to miss with opinion columnist Adam Zivo and public speaker Guy Felicella!

In this conversation we try to unpack how it is that there can be a great deal of shared reality, but the conclusions and strategies that people come to can be wildly divergent.

Danielle Smith made news on June 25th when she announced that she was going to "opt out" Albertans from the federal dental plan.

Which leads to a lot of questions, like what are the current programs that are available, what are the criteria for them and how does the federal program match up?

Which is to say nothing of the question if she even can opt Albertans out.

On this episode, we try and unpack all of that, and we take a look at why Smith and the UCP are threatening the healthcare of Alberta's most vulnerable!
