    Alberta to Impose MAiD Restrictions. Is It the Right Move?

    Alberta’s changing the rules around Medical Assistance in Dying, and it’s sparking a fierce, complex debate. The UCP’s legislation is being supported by some disability advocacy groups who say it strengthens safeguards and protects vulnerable people, while critics warn it could undermine personal autonomy, limit access, and set a troubling precedent in healthcare decision-making. Where’s the balance between protection and freedom? We dig into it with Trish Bowman (2:45), CEO of Inclusion Alberta, for a thoughtful and challenging conversation on what these changes really mean. Feature interviews on Real Talk are presented by Mercedes-Benz Edmonton West.  THIS EPISODE IS PRESENTED BY HANSEN DISTILLERY -- EDMONTON'S ORIGINAL DISTILLERY.

    Landowners Lock Out "Deadbeat" Oil Company

    Alberta landowners are drawing a hard line - locking out oil and gas companies that haven’t paid what they owe. It’s a dramatic escalation in a long-simmering dispute over unpaid surface leases, and it’s raising serious questions about accountability in the energy sector. How did it get to this point, and who’s on the hook? We dig in with Mark Dorin of the Polluter Pay Federation in our feature interview presented by Mercedes-Benz Edmonton West (1:45).  THIS EPISODE IS PRESENTED BY RapidEX FINANCIAL.

    Does Don Cherry Deserve the Order of Canada?

    Few figures in Canadian broadcasting spark debate like Don Cherry. Now, a push to see the former Coach’s Corner star appointed to the Order of Canada—championed by voices in the Conservative Party of Canada, including MP Andrew Lawton and backed by Alberta premier Danielle Smith—is reigniting old arguments about one of the country’s most polarizing personalities. Cherry is celebrated by supporters as a hockey icon and outspoken patriot, but critics point to years of controversial comments about immigrants, Indigenous people, and women in sports media—controversies that ultimately ended his run on Hockey Night in Canada. The proposal is already drawing criticism, including from Conservatives in Quebec, setting up a national debate: should a cultural lightning rod like Cherry receive one of Canada’s highest honours? We get into it with Supriya Dwivedi (3:15) in our feature interview presented by Mercedes-Benz Edmonton West.  TELL US WHAT YOU THINK: talk@ryanjespersen.com  THIS EPISODE IS PRESENTED BY RapidEX FINANCIAL.
