The Edmonton Oilers are the third most profitable sports franchise on the planet. Team owner Daryl Katz is now worth an estimated $7.4 billion. And, as Connor McDavid and his teammates prepare for playoffs, season tickets holders have been hit with a 15-20% price increase on renewals. We get into it with legendary broadcaster Lynda Steele (6:00) in our feature interview presented by Mercedes-Benz Edmonton West. 

We get into gas prices and the war in Iran (30:20), Air Canada pilots killed at LaGuardia (37:00), PM Mark Carney's Year One Report Card (47:40), a new pipeline through B.C. (54:40), and real estate uncertainty around DRIPA (57:45).
