    Episode 8.18 - April 19, 2026 - Alberta Politics Roundup!

    It's an extended Alberta Politics Roundup because we have a lot of ground to cover! To start with, we take a look at two of the new entries into the referendum game, the first being The Rebel and their new TPA (Third Party Advertiser) and the second being the impending takeover/makeover of the Alberta Liberals by controversial strategist Stephen Carter. But what is it that makes Carter so controversial? We take a look!From there we take a look at Adriana Lagrange privatization bewildering re-announcement of privatization of diagnostic tests, the shocking turn on the electoral boundaries commission and the impending changes to AISH/ADAP! If you're able to support our legal defense fund to fight back against the $6 Million lawsuit against us by Sam Mraiche, the man who imported Vanch masks and the Turkish Tylenot as well as who hosted MLA's and Ministers in his skybox as he had business with the government...

    Episode 8.17 - Calling Out CoRE!

    On March 10th, 2026 CoRE (which is a part of the Ministry of Mental Health and Addiction) published a paper in the Journal “Addiction” that the UCP then used to justify shuttering Supervised Consumption Sites. But there’s some pretty big problems with the paper, and there’s some massive problems with how it has been represented! To get to the core of the problem, we sat down with 3 professors who are experts in addictions research, Dr Tara Gomes from the University of Toronto, Dr Kora DeBeck from Simon Fraser University and Dr Rebecca Saah from the University of Calgary! You’re going to want to stick around for the end of this episode as it has a surprise that you definitely won’t see coming!

    Episode 8.16 - Forever Canadian with Thomas Lukaszuk!

    With separatism at the forefront of Alberta's political discussion right now, a lot of people are asking how they can possibly help in the fight to keep Alberta in Canada! To find an answer to that question, we sat down with Thomas Lukaszuk of Forever Canadian to find out more about how he's asking people to get involved as well as to set the record straight on what his goals are with the original Forever Canadian Petition despite what Danielle Smith has said in the press lately!

    Episode 8.15 - Are the UCP Gerrymandering? - with Dr Duane Bratt!

    Are Danielle Smith and the UCP about to execute their greatest subversion of democracy yet? As the boundaries of constituencies in Alberta are about to be redrawn after years of consultation, two UCP appointed members of the commission abandoned the report they signed off on and created new maps that many experts have called straight up gerrymandering. In order to try and make sense of this, we sat down with political scientist Dr Duane Bratt for a conversation on the future of democracy you don’t want to miss!

    Episode 8.14 - Alberta Politics Roundup! (Electoral Boundaries and MAID)

    Are the UCP fixing to fix the next election? The electoral boundaries commission has released it's report and recommendations, but it's one of the wilder reports in recent memory because of the inclusion of a mini report put together by two members who went rogue in an apparent attempt to redraw boundaries to gerrymander another election win for the UCP!Just in case that wasn't serious enough, we also include a deep dive on the history of MAID (Medical Assistance In Dying) in Canada and Danielle Smith's recent changes to MAID that seem to be based entirely on fabrications and fear to score points with the religious right!
