Podcast appearances and mentions of brian jean

It was an issue many thought had been settled, but the debate over open-pit mining in Alberta's Eastern Slopes has been reignited. In 2020, public outcry forced the province to put a moratorium on nearly all new coal exploration and development in the Eastern Slopes. However, Alberta's energy minister, Brian Jean, lifted the moratorium last month to help reduce regulatory confusion around coal mining. Rancher Kelly Hall, owner of the Timber Ridge conservation site west of Nanton, worries about the potential contamination of the water supply if mining proceeds. "We're extremely concerned because of the health risks that are involved," says Hall. "Selenium and other heavy metals like arsenic could be present in our water system."

Lastly, Mike Jones joins us to discuss the Best of YMM Food Awards.

Tennessee football has lost a second assistant coach this week as linebackers coach Brian Jean-Mary officially leaves the Volunteers for the Michigan Wolverines.

he Breakdown - Special Solar Flare edition! (Part 2) Our weekly live episode this week had more technical challenges than any episode in recent memory, and required more than a little bit of editing to make presentable, so we're splitting it into two parts! In Part one, we presented our regular weekly round up of some of the biggest stories of the week, including Alberta Day, the UCP Leadership debate, the state of COVID in Alberta, the opiate crisis and more! In Part two, we continue our live show with a conversation with LGBTQS2+ advocate Anna Murphy. On Friday September 2, Brian Jean sent out a fundraising email leveraging his position that here should be two categories in sport: One for biological men, and one for biological women, and Anna has a very clear and strong response for Mr. Jean.

Guest: Alex Boyd, Toronto Star journalist While there are many reasons including equity and access issues that can prevent someone from getting a vaccine, some have chosen not to because of the myth that COVID-19 vaccines have led to hundreds of deaths in Canada and abroad. If billions of vaccine doses have been administered around the world, how did some people end up taking the view a vaccine could kill them and data proved it? How did misinformation that COVID-19 vaccines are killing people take root and end up becoming one of the biggest dividing lines in Canada? This episode was produced by Saba Eitizaz, Brian Bradley and Paulo Marques

The RCMP has been using "Canadian-made" technology to spy on people's cellphones for 20 years, even using spyware allowing officers to surreptitiously turn on phones' cameras and microphones. The police agency says it only does this in limited circumstances with judicial approval, so Canadians don't need to worry. True North's Andrew Lawton says the RCMP hasn't earned the benefit of the doubt. Also, UCP leadership candidate Brian Jean joins to explain how he wants autonomy for Albertans, and Jasmine Moulton stops by to discuss her new True North show Reality Check.Support the show: https://tnc.news/lawton-heritage-club/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Vols LB Coach Brian Jean-Mary met with media Tuesday following Spring Practice.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On Tuesday, voters in the riding of Fort McMurray–Lac La Biche elected Brian Jean as their next MLA, the latest development in a political drama that could cost Premier Jason Kenney his leadership.Running as a United Conservative Party candidate, Jean was always the heavy favourite to win the seat. But this is not necessarily a win for the governing United Conservatives, as Jean was — like all other candidates on the ballot — opposed to Jason Kenney's government.Kenney's rival for the UCP leadership in 2017, Jean is pushing for the UCP membership to vote out Kenney at a leadership review in Red Deer on April 9. The stakes couldn't be higher for the future of Kenney and the UCP.To break down all the latest in this story, I'm joined this week by Elise von Scheel, the CBC's politics reporter in Calgary. (Elise also produced and appeared with me on The Pollcast podcast back in the day.)In addition to listening to the episode here or on other podcast apps like Apple Podcasts, you can also watch my discussion with Elise on YouTube:To watch past discussions and to be notified of new videos being posted, please subscribe to my YouTube Channel here.

Can we expect logistical chaos in Red Deer on April 9? Does Canada have a policing problem? And is there a better medium to discuss websites than a podcast? Zain Velji, as always, picks the questions and keeps everybody in line.
