Did Canada's Conservatives put positive polling momentum at risk at this weekend's convention in Quebec City? We take a look at some of the grassroots initiatives (restricting gender-affirming surgery) vs. issues where Poilievre's gaining ground (affordable housing), and discuss where and how the CPC needs to stay focused if it wants to govern again. 

5:00 | But first...no matter how many years it's been since 2001, September 11 will always stir memories and even emotions with most people. Charles Adler and Ryan look back twenty-two years, then ask, "Have we forgotten?" Then, Adler analyzes the CPC Convention through a common sense lens.

55:10 | Gerald thinks Angus Reid asked the wrong question in a poll about parent's rights. Our interview with Jackie Rae Greening about merit-based hiring rubbed Lauren the wrong way. Winch has a thought about our interview with Take Back Alberta's David Parker. And Curtis is wondering when we're going to feature a Real Talk Round Table about housing (the answer is this Friday!). Ryan reaches into the Real Talk mailbag.
