    War of words as chiefs call for investigation into Alberta premier, UCP members

    A war of words is unfolding in Alberta after chiefs there unanimously passed a resolution this week calling for an investigation into Premier Danielle Smith and members of the United Conservative Party. The Assembly of Treaty Chiefs in Alberta want the RCMP and auditor general to look into actions by Smith and the UPC when it comes to violating treaties, calling a referendum and failing to take action on the violation of privacy rights of millions of people. Also on the panel this week, the reintroduction of the First Nations water legislation is being met with criticism.

    Production paused on satire series for CBC and APTN after guests, who said they were misled, speak out

    There is continuing controversy over an Indigenous-led, unscripted comedy series in early production for CBC Entertainment and APTN, as the future of the show looks murky. According to a joint statement from CBC and APTN, Northland Tales was pitched at an Indigenous Screen Summit in 2024 as a satirical prank show. For clarity, APTN News had no prior knowledge nor any involvement in this production. This week, after many of the people contacted to take part in the show started speaking out, CBC paused production on Northland Tales. That is one of the topics for this week's Truth & Politics panel.
