A new poll says most Canadians weigh the social issue views of a political leader when voting.  Are environmental concerns overblown? We talk about the history of eco-pessimism.  Tom Flanagan from the University of Calgary discusses the Return of the Alberta Agenda, and here we go again, the event centre deal is back in the middle of Calgary Council, we discuss a Notice of Motion calling for its funding to be pulled with Ward 13’s Diane Colley-Urquhart.

Danielle takes calls about the day's topics and more.

A motion is being put to council calling on the city to pull the plug on the proposed event centre in East Village and use the money for the Green Line LRT. Danielle talks to Ward 13 Councilor Diane Colley-Urquhart about the idea.
