15:00 | Political satirist and lawyer Caryma Sa'd was arrested by Hamilton police while attending an Ontario PC campaign stop back in May. Yesterday, prosecutors dropped a trespassing charge, citing "no reasonable likelihood of conviction". She tells us about the impact of the arrest, and concerns about politically-influenced police action.

38:40 | Cheryl Oates knows what makes Rachel Notley tick. The former communications director for Alberta's former premier gives us her take on the Brooks-Medicine Hat by-election, what it means for the NDP in Alberta, and what we can expect to see from the party leading up to the May 2023 provincial election.
