Real Talk Ryan Jespersen Relay

Fact or fiction? We task two of Alberta's most experienced journalists with scrutinizing our recent interview with Alberta Premier Danielle Smith.
3:30 | Veteran commentators Graham Thomson and Markham Hislop dig into our June 12 interview with Premier Smith, including her eyebrow-raising comment about former premier Alison Redford, her thoughts on the future of carbon capture, her take on MLA Shannon Phillips' resignation, and an upcoming UCP-sponsored anti-vax event.

Why did Premier Danielle Smith appoint her one-time nemesis Alison Redford to the board of Invest Alberta? How is Calgary's water main disaster impacting how she'll approach the province's infrastructure deficit? Is Alberta even ready for a population boom...and if not, why not? Why is Premier Smith allowing her party to host a post-pandemic anti-vax event? And what's her response to MLA Shannon Phillips resignation, citing right-wing abuse and lies? 
We ask all of these questions and more in an exclusive with Premier Danielle Smith on this episode of Real Talk.

Does your family have rules for phones and tablets? Does your kid's school (or even your own workplace) try to cut back on distraction by limiting access to tech?
As Ontario and Quebec take the lead on banning phones in class, and Alberta looks to do the same, we get three different perspectives on tech literacy and brain and social development from Wyatt Sharpe, Gillian Essien, and Alison Service.

There's nothing funny about alleged corruption and shady business deals involving elected officials. But that's not stopping Jespo, Johnny, and Charles Adler from having a chuckle over the "Other Randy" story.We get to that, millionaire conspiracy peddler Alex Jones liquidating his assets, and a troubling report implicating MPs and/or Senators in acts of treason in this episode of Real Talk.
But first, Charles reflects on our June 6 episode about men's mental health, suicide, and grief.

Debra checks in from the States with strong words (!!!) for Donald Trump; Ray, Ed, and Jim take issue with our May 31 Group Chat Round Table's take on Pierre Poilievre, and Dr. Jennifer delivers an unofficial diagnosis of the federal Conservative Leader.
