0:34 | Canadians with variable rate mortgages, lines of credit, and other obligations will be paying more after the Bank of Canada raised its overnight rate by 75 basis points to 3.25%. Ryan opens the show with some general observations just moments after the rate hike was announced.

9:17 | Philippe Fournier is all about politics and polling. The 338Canada founder gives us a sense of the biggest issues at play in the Quebec's election, and who might walk away the winner. Plus, we look at a Nanos poll suggesting 70% of Canadians are turned off by "Freedom convoy" support, and hash out who might be most affected by that reality (hint: it's Pierre Poilievre).

45:44 | It's quite unusual to see opposition to Danielle Smith's proposed "Alberta Sovereignty Act" from Conservatives and the NDP alike. We review Alberta Premier Jason Kenney's scathing assessment of the proposed legislation, and assess what it might mean for some of the "middle ground" candidates in the UCP leadership race. 

51:08 | It's a bit of a different edition of #MyJasper Memories this week on Real Talk, as the Chetamon wildfire continues to burn, and officials in Jasper are asking would-be visitors to reconsider their travel plans. Ryan shows highlights of his recent visit to the Jasper Park Lodge golf course, just hours before the fire started to spread.
