Environmentalist and wildlife conservationists are outraged following a decision to allow grizzly bear hunting in Alberta despite being a threatened species under the Wildlife Act. How was this decision reached and how will it impact grizzly populations? We discuss with John Marriott, Wildlife Photographer and environmentalist.

It's a major change on the Calgary radio ‘landscape'. The birth of “QR Calgary”. It's the same talk you've loved for years now on the FM dial as well at 107.3. One of our first guests on the new “QR Calgary” was our former co-worker and now Premier of Alberta Danielle Smith. We ask her what she considers the number 1 issue currently facing Albertans, and her biggest takeaway being in the Premier's office since October. Next, who isn't friends with Gerry Forbes? If you didn't know, the Calgary broadcast icon once hosted the Morning Show on CHQR. We speak with the longtime Calgary broadcaster about his passion for radio, the city itself, and what he's been up to in retirement. Finally, change.

Dr. Peterson's extensive catalog is available now on DailyWire+: https://utm.io/ueSXh Dr. Jordan B. Peterson and Premier Danielle Smith discuss the election front in Alberta, the danger of intermittent power as winter arrives, the true utility of oil, and why the press needs to hold themselves to a higher standard again. Danielle Smith is a Canadian columnist, talk radio personality, talk show host, and politician, originally from Calgary. There she attended the University of Calgary, earning her bachelor's degree in English and economics. At this time, Smith became active in federal and provincial conservatism, and became the president of the campus PC Club. She also ran successfully for board of trustees, and held the position for a year. After college, Smith became a columnist for the Calgary Herald. She would go on to succeed Charles Adler as host of the national current affair talk show, Global Sunday, as well as hosting two radio shows focused on health policy and property rights. In 2008, Smith left the PC party, to much scrutiny, and joined the Wildrose Alliance. In the course of a year, across multiple elections, she had seen the party support base quadruple. In 2014, Smith once again joined the Provincial Conservative party, citing new leadership had been able to find common ground, with specific attention on economic standpoints. Due to this controversy, she was unable to win her next election, and opted instead to host the radio talk show CHQR, which she would later leave, along with Twitter, in response to egregious internet trolling. In May 2022, it was announced Smith would run for leadership of the United Conservative Party of Alberta, after the resignation of Jason Kenney. On October 6th, with 53 percent of the vote, she was sworn in as Premier. —Links— For Premier Danielle Smith: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DanielleSmithAB/LinkedIn: https://ca.linkedin.com/in/abdaniellesmithInfo Page: https://www.alberta.ca/premier.aspxDonate: https://daniellesmith.ca/ - Sponsors - Helix Sleep: Get up to $200 OFF + 2 FREE pillows with all mattress orders: https://helixsleep.com/JORDAN Hallow: Try Hallow for 3 months FREE: https://hallow.com/jordan Shopify: Sign up for a free trial: https://shopify.com/jbp CarZing: Get pre-qualified and find the best deals near you: https://carzing.com/jordan — Chapters — (0:00) Coming Up(1:30) Intro(3:16) Confederation of Canada(7:26) The energy sector in Alberta, canceled futures(11:20) Alberta forced to supplement eastern Canada's economy(16:30) Pushing back federally for regional success(18:39) Simplifying the process, including the First Nations(20:46) Breaking the ice, the coalition of the willing(23:20) Fracking vs utopian moralizing(26:03) Climate extremism is a waste of glue(28:00) Greta Thunberg and the pseudo-green wave(31:40) The worlds' poor are facing a dangerous winter(36:20) The true utility of oil, why we will never “phase it out”(38:54) A more profound narrative(41:24) We will NEVER get to one hundred percent renewable resources(43:11) Fascism running rampant veiled as crony capitalism(45:05) Small grid nuclear power(47:30) On the election front, Alberta(50:45) Energy costs drive everything, Jagmeet Singh(55:00) The NDP, cannibalizing their own support(59:45) The values of conservative Alberta(1:02:09) The problem with identity, cultural battleground or distraction?(1:05:25) LGBTQ+ and conservatism(1:07:16) Central planning, the fundamental flaw(1:11:55) Polls only sample the short term whim(1:14:07) Where the conservative movement has ceded ground(1:17:07) Polarized media results in a polarized country // SUPPORT THIS CHANNEL //Newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/jordanbpeterson.com/youtubesignupDonations: https://jordanbpeterson.com/donate // COURSES //Discovering Personality: https://jordanbpeterson.com/personalitySelf Authoring Suite: https://selfauthoring.comUnderstand Myself (personality test): https://understandmyself.com // BOOKS //Beyond Order: 12 More Rules for Life: https://jordanbpeterson.com/Beyond-Order12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos: https://jordanbpeterson.com/12-rules-for-lifeMaps of Meaning: The Architecture of Belief: https://jordanbpeterson.com/maps-of-meaning // LINKS //Website: https://jordanbpeterson.comEvents: https://jordanbpeterson.com/eventsBlog: https://jordanbpeterson.com/blogPodcast: https://jordanbpeterson.com/podcast // SOCIAL //Twitter: https://twitter.com/jordanbpetersonInstagram: https://instagram.com/jordan.b.petersonFacebook: https://facebook.com/drjordanpetersonTelegram: https://t.me/DrJordanPetersonAll socials: https://linktr.ee/drjordanbpeterson #JordanPeterson #JordanBPeterson #DrJordanPeterson #DrJordanBPeterson #DailyWirePlus

[06:31] Greg Gazin is interviewed on CHQR Radio about his Troy Media article Try Nightbuds Earbuds for a good night's sleep. For anyone who offers a product or service, or in my case writes about one, it's always important to be ready and always have a few talking points and a story or two in your back pocket in case the media literally comes calling. It's great PR for you and for the product or service you're talking about. This is also where your Toastmasters International Table Topics impromptu skills come in really handy.

This week, Calgarians were asked if they wanted to host the 2026 Winter Olympic and Paraolympic Games. 56.4% said “no.” But why? On this week's episode of the Global News podcast This Is Why, producer's John O'Dowd and Niki Reitmayer explore the growing, international disinterest in hosting the Olympic Games. (throw to montage audio) The “yes” side rallied around hope. They were optimistic that the Olympics could help bring prosperity back to a city that is still struggling economically. Rob Breakenridge is a host at Global News Radio 770 CHQR in Calgary.John Furlong - former president and CEO of VANOC and chair of Own the Podium.

Chapter 1
Calgarians head to the polls to declare whether they want the city to host a second Winter Games. The question ``are you for or are you against hosting the 2026 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games?'' was to be posed to them Tuesday in a plebiscite to help determine whether the city should move ahead with a bid. Calgary was the host city of the 1988 Winter Olympics. The legacy venues from those games form the foundation of a potential second bid, which would now include the Paralympic Games. While the result of the vote is non-binding on a city council that has the final say, the vote will influence council's decision. The plebiscite was a condition of the Alberta government providing money for a bid. The provincial government is paying for the $2-million cost of the plebiscite.
