Cory talks about how a refusal to speak openly on tough issues is putting people at risk.

It’s not unheard of for banks to fire clients. However, when somebody like high-profile lawyer Eva Chipiuk gets unbanked, it should catch your attention.

The details are somewhat opaque and protected by client confidentiality. According to the correspondence from the Royal Bank of Canada that Ms. Chipiuk released, the situation was triggered by a Bitcoin transaction.

And if transactions appear suspicious, banks are actually required by law to take action.

On the other hand, lots of people buy and sell Bitcoin.

So, that was all it was?

And it was nothing to do with Ms. Chipiuk’s public support for the Freedom Convoy, and her counter-establishment political views?

Well, nobody’s saying that. So, perhaps we shouldn’t say it, either.

Nigel Hannaford, Cory Morgan, and Erika Barootes ask: 'Could Alberta pull out of dairy supply management?' They also discuss Parks Canada's cancellation of a Christian concert, the latest in the Tamara Lich trial, and opposition from BC Coastal First Nations to northern pipelines.

Cory talks about how Alberta’s exit from supply management could bring down the national system.

With today’s $2.8 billion contribution announced earlier today by a clearly elated Premier Danielle Smith, Alberta’s Heritage Fund reached $30 billion — almost double what it was five years ago.

For the premier, this is an old goal — she was writing 25 years ago that instead of spending resource revenues as they are received, Alberta should build up a fund to make up for when those resources, and the funds they generate, are exhausted.

“Be careful what you wish for.” If you are one of those Albertans who say, “Let's vote for independence and then see what sort of a better deal we can get out of Ottawa,” you’re playing a dangerous game, says Erika Barootes, tonight’s guest on Hannaford.

Derek Fildebrandt, Nigel Hannaford, and Cory Morgan discuss Danielle Smith’s Alberta Next panel, the growing calls from Alberta Conservatives for a party-wide independence vote, and the financial apocalypse looming over the NDP.

Cory talks about how rights and safety of citizens has been lost in Canada’s system.

Political analyst Dr. Frances Widdowson, who was terminated from her tenured role at Mount Royal University for questioning baseless claims bodies of 215 indigenous children were found on the grounds of a residential school in Kamloops, BC, joins Hannaford this week to discuss her investigation into the matter.

Derek Fildebrandt, Nigel Hannaford, and Cory Morgan talk about Alberta Next’s push for constitutional amendments, a CBC news anchor being ‘forced to resign,’ the RCMP calling a shift to traditional values could be a red flag for extremism, and how they’re all lying about Jeffrey Epstein.
