Last Mountain Distillery in Lumsden concocted a seriously Canadian cocktail over the weekend, in an attempt to break the world record for the largest-ever Caesar. Their clamato-and-vodka cocktail measured 800 litres including 4,572 shots of the distillery's dill pickle infused vodka and was garnished with two steaks, two blocks of cheese, and an entire celery stalk. Distillery owner and co-founder Meredith Schmidt joins John now to discuss the spicy drink and whether they broke the record.

The Alberta government is set to hold a year-long public inquiry into foreign funding for environmental activism in the province. It's an issue Canadian writer and researcher Vivian Krause first brought to light by following the money behind anti-oil activism, though she's received a large amount of backlash against her work. Krause joins John now to talk about the inquiry, her work, and the foreign cash influencing Canada's environmental policies.

Saskatoon Police Chief Troy Cooper joins John to discuss local policing issues, including the crime concerns in Saskatoon’s Pleasant Hill neighbourhood and the police service policy for releasing the names of homicide victims.

The week's first open session

Zurich Insurance Group, a Geneva-based financial company, recently made the decision to avoid investment in Canadian oilsands. Cody Battershill, founder of CanadaAction.ca, says they're the latest financial group to stop investing in Canadian oilsands, pipelines, and crude-by-rail facilities because they're not consistent with global efforts to fight climate change. He says that's a mistake as Canadian energy leads the world in innovation and work to reduce their environmental impact, and avoiding Canadian energy will simply reward suppliers like Saudi Arabia and Venezuela while providing no environmental benefit. Battershill joins John now to talk about the companies boycotting Canadian energy investment.
