My guest this week is Kris Sims, Alberta Director for the Canadian Taxpayers Federation. Kris talks about the annual raises the PM and all MPs have been getting throughout the pandemic and the fact that federal employees have been getting raises and bonuses while average, hard-working Canadians have been facing job losses, pay cuts, business closures, runaway inflation and higher carbon taxes. We also discuss the demand by union bosses for a 14% pay increase for federal employees. Learn more about the Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) at:https://www.taxpayer.com

A group in the Netherlands called Cooperative Last Will is campaigning to completely decriminalize euthanasia and assisted suicide.

The 2022 Alberta budget was released yesterday, outlining Alberta's path to economic recovery. We got reaction to the budget and how it will affect Alberta taxpayers, from Kevin Lacey, Alberta Director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation. Reaction to the budget wasn't as positive from Alberta's two biggest municipalities. We talk with Calgary Mayor Jyoti Godek about why she was disappointed by what was – or technically wasn't - in the budget. We also spoke with the Mayor about supports available for the local Ukrainian community. The U.S. and its G7 allies have agreed to impose economic sanctions on Russia in response to their invasion and resulting war in Ukraine. We talked with Washington Bureau Chief for Global News Jackson Proskow about President Joe Biden's tough talk regarding Russian President Vladimir Putin. Finally, this week is "Freedom to Read Week" in Canada, an annual initiative that encourages Canadians to think about the importance of intellectual freedom by reading.  Librarian Amanda Arbuthnot joined us to talk about the importance of books that force us to have discussions about difficult, but necessary topics.

The Canadian Constitution has been taking a beating from the provinces during the pandemic. Ontario uses the notwithstanding clause to get its way on third party election spending, despite their law violating Charter Rights. Then Quebec wanted to change part of the Constitution that applies to it, to declare itself a Nation and to make French the official language of the Province. Not to be outdone, Alberta has jumped in with a referendum on whether it can pull out of the Equalization Program. Will it work? Albertans had a number of referendums on their ballots earlier this week, in municipal elections. The most noteworthy was the vote on whether the Province should pull out of the Canada's Equalization program. The Premier says this isn't about playing politics, it's about fairness. When you consider, BC and Quebec are big recipients of Equalization from the federal government with about $20 billion coming from Alberta, they are also the biggest impediments to getting Alberta oil to tidewater. The Equalization program sees the federal government collect from the wealthiest provinces to distribute to other “have not” provinces. Jason Kenney says this is all about gaining leverage with the federal government. The Province feels hamstrung getting its commodities to market.Our Unpublished.vote question asks: Do you feel Canada's Equalization Program should be changed? Yes NoUnsure You can log on and vote right now at Unpublished.vote. Guests: Kevin Lacey, Alberta Director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation Barry Cooper teaches political science at the University of Calgary as well as one of the authors of the Free Alberta StrategyJared Wesley, Associate Professor & Associate Chair, Graduate Programs | Department of Political Science | University of Alberta

Alberta's electricity system is at a cross-roads. Coal, which has been the dominant source of electricity in the province for a generation is slowly being phased out, while industrial growth forecasts mean Alberta's electricity system will double in size over the next 20 years. Rapid price declines in both wind and more recently solar, as well as technological innovation in integrating these technologies worldwide has meant that wind and solar have the potential to displace vast amount of fossil fuels if Alberta choses to invest in them. Southern Alberta has some of Canada's best wind and solar resources and could play an important role in providing clean, renewable energy for the province. The speakers will discuss the opportunities as well as the challenges for wind and solar in Alberta's electricity market. Speakers: Tim Weis & Rob Harlan Tim is the Alberta Director for the Canadian Wind Energy Association and Rob is the Executive Director of the Solar Energy Society of Alberta. Moderator: Courtney Rieger Date: Thursday, November 6, 2014 Time: Noon - 1:30 PM (30 minutes each for presentation, lunch and Q & A) Location: Country Kitchen Catering (Lower level of The Keg) 1715 Mayor Magrath Dr. S Cost: $11.00 (includes lunch) or $2.00 (includes coffee/tea at the presentation only)
