Two Weeks To Go: NDP Leads, UCP Bleeds


Listen Later

Could the UCP really be blowing a big lead in Calgary? Will the NDP be able to hold on and win the election on May 29? Do you even believe what the polls are saying, or is your gut telling you something different? We take a look at some of the top headlines two weeks out from Election Day, and what they could mean outcome-wise. But first...

9:55 | Is the federal government's "safer supply" approach actually fuelling a new opioid crisis in Canada? Is additions research really "politicized and ideologically driven"? Journalist Adam Zivo joins Ryan (from Odesa, Ukraine) to get into his expose published in the National Post. 

NOTE: PM Stephen Harper's former policy advisor Ben Perrin joins us Tuesday, and harm reduction expert Guy Felicella joins us Wednesday, to respond to Adam's report.

38:10 | Does UCP leader Danielle Smith seriously think police should be taking orders from the Premier? Did NDP candidate Kevin Van Tighem hurt his party with an essay comparing oil and gas workers to slaves? Charles Adler takes a look at the top political headlines in Alberta two weeks out from the election. 

1:22:30 | Every golfer who's played a course lined with houses can relate to the nightmare of a rogue shot smashing a big, expensive window. We LOVE the story of a homeowner who paid it forward, featured in this week's Positive Reflections presented by Kuby Energy!
