June 09 Alberta's Future: Split or Connected?
How many Albertans are actually ready to leave Canada? And what do the latest numbers tell us about the state of the separation movement? Guest host Rob Breakenridge gets into it with Ipsos CEO Darrell Bricker in our feature interview presented by Mercedes-Benz Edmonton West. Plus, is Alberta finally getting serious about passenger rail? Bruce Graham with Friends of Calgary Airport-Banff Rail joins the show to talk about the push for better rail service and whether a Calgary-to-Banff connection could be closer than many people think.

June 08 Poilievre's Plan to Keep Alberta in Canada
Strength in numbers. That's Pierre Poilievre's call to the provinces as a nation-wide alternative to Alberta separation. Will Quebec play along? We get into an advance copy of Poilievre's speech (14:00) with Supriya Dwivedi in our feature interview presented by Mercedes-Benz Edmonton West. But first...what will come from Alberta Premier Danielle Smith's meeting with Quebec Premier Christine Fréchette (9:00)? And later...what's the key takeaway from new Ipsos polling (17:30) showing waning support for Alberta leaving Canada?

June 03 Can Cities Separate from Alberta? (Seriously.)

Paquette joins Vegreville councillor Taneen Rudyk and political scientist Dr. Duane Bratt in our feature interview (4:30) presented by Mercedes-Benz Edmonton West.

June 02 Is Ottawa Selling Out Ranchers?
Canadian ranchers are warning Ottawa not to sacrifice domestic beef producers in ongoing trade talks with Mercosur, the South American bloc including Brazil and Argentina.

Tyler Fulton, president of the Canadian Cattle Association, joins from Manitoba in our feature interview (14:00) presented by Mercedes-Benz Edmonton West to talk about the future of Canada’s beef industry, rising costs, trade tensions, and why producers say this moment could shape the industry for years to come.
