With an E. Coli outbreak striking to the heart of the province, we're back for another Alberta Politics Roundup! We start by taking a look at the environmental situation in Alberta before moving on to the incredibly on brand appointment of a lowered standard "writer" to the office of the deputy premier's press secretary.

From there we get into the E. Coli tragedy and the provinces inexplicable response to not just the outbreak itself but the affected families as well, particularly the arguably staged response of the premier. We then round the night off with the recent cancellation and then rebooking of a Take Back Alberta event important American culture wars before we pivot to some examples of politicians representing Canadian values, not imported American ones.

And that's when we're happy to see the return of longtime guest Sarah Biggs for her take on the events of the week before we open it up for one of the busiest open mic's we've had in a while!

Plus we now have merch that's available at www.abpoli.ca!
