Hazel Wheeler (they/them) has worked with Loggerhead Shrikes for a decade, and is their biggest fan.  Hazel is the Conservation Programs Director at Wildlife Preservation Canada. They have been bitten by shrikes more times than they care to remember, but they have never bitten back.Russell Cannings represents the underappreciated Wrybill. Russ grew up in the birdy Okanagan Valley, British Columbia where his nature-loving family left him no choice but to become obsessed with the great outdoors. A university exchange to New Zealand in 2008 would prove formative for his birding (and future nuptials!) and he now calls it home. He has swapped biology fieldwork for teaching history but he still gets out as much as possible in his local "patch".Katja Kochvar thinks you need to love Atlantic Puffins as much as she does. Katja fell in love with biological field research in the deciduous forests of her home state, Pennsylvania. Now, she is studying Atlantic puffin visual communication as a Master's Student at Memorial University of Newfoundland. In the Fall, she will be starting a PhD at Princeton University in the pursuit of more exciting research on avian colouration! Stay tuned for updates on her research at @gotcha__katja Andrea Gress (she/her) secretly thinks Piping Plovers are better than all the other birds...studied Renewable Resource Management at the University of Saskatchewan.

Mayors across Canada are lobbying Ottawa ahead of the next federal budget. Edmonton Mayor Don Iveson, chair of the Big City Mayors' Caucus, joins to talk transit, homelessness, and other top municipal priorities. Audric Moses (and his wife Marni, who makes a cameo!) built a NetZero home in a northern climate. How is it performing with limited daylight hours, plenty of snow, and frigid outside temperatures? We take a tour to find out. Amid public outcry, Alberta's United Conservative government says it's walking back its plan to rescind the province's 45-year-old coal policy. Is this meaningful action, or pure politicking? We ask CPAWS conservation director Katie Morrison for some perspective. We know white supremacy continues to plague society. How does the ideology persist, and how are people radicalized? Talia Lavin takes us into her process researching and writing "Culture Warlords," including going undercover on message boards and forums on the dark web. Ryan plays a video excerpt from a church service this past Sunday, right before a pastor was arrested for violating public health orders.

Episode 3.06 Alberta politics has often been referred to as divisive, but recently a conversation has started in Alberta that has united Albertans in way that we haven't seen in a long time. With land designation changes and the fate of large areas of the Rockies as well as water quality being threatened, we sat down with Katie Morrison, Conservation Director for the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society (CPAWS) to get a better grasp of the history of what got us here, what the potential damage is to our wilderness and water supply and what people can do.

Coal mining conversations continue in Alberta, as the government announced a pause on eleven recently-granted leases in the Rocky Mountains. We check in with environmental lawyer David Khan and CPAWS conservation director (and biologist) Katie Morrison for details on what that actually means. Craig Snodgrass may be Mayor of a small town (High River), but he brought heavy artillery to our conversation around the lack of government consultation on the environmental and industry fronts. It's a must-listen interview. Dallas attorney and Southern Methodist University Law professor Eric Cedillo joins to make sense of Donald Trump's expected stream of Presidential pardons, and explain how Trump can (or cannot) influence impeachment proceedings. Puneeta McBryan, new executive director for Edmonton's Downtown Business Association discusses post-pandemic work trends, and their impact on commercial leases and the overall health of a city's core.

"Nature Needs Half" - That's the amount of land needing protection globally by 2030 in order to stop the sixth mass extinction and protect the livelihoods of 1.6 billion people. The UCP Alberta Government are changing the protection status of 175 parks throughout the Province, and this puts us well below the meagre 2020 promise of protecting 17% of land in Alberta. International organizations including, Conservation International and Scientific American have also sounded the alarms, noting that this is one of the largest ever examples of land protection being removed, which equals 37% of Alberta's parks. Why is Minister Jason Nixon moving ahead with this plan, despite 7 out of 10 Albertans opposing it? We'll never really know the answer, but the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society (CPAWS) has taken up the fight to Defend Alberta Parks. In this episode of Outside the House, CPAWS Northern Alberta Program Director, Tara Russell, tells us why parks are so important to not only the planet but also to our overall wellbeing and values. Learn more about the Defend Alberta Parks campaign, and how you can get involved here. Thank you for listening!
