Fingers are flying in Alberta politics as we take a look at the events of the last week! Danielle Smith is under investigation by the Ethics Commissioner, but what does that really mean?

Plus we're joined by AISH advocate Don Slater for a conversation on what members of the disabled community would like to see from political parties in the next election before we turn the mic over to our audience for our regular town hall!

The last few days have been moving at breakneck speed in Alberta politics. In under 4 days we went from having UCP MLA's and Ministers swearing that Smiths Sovereignty Act was perfect to having Smith herself acknowledge some of the foundational flaws that exist within the act, and we try and track that all down. In addition we're joined by advocate Don Slater to get his take on AISH being reindexed before we're joined by strategist and politico Sarah Biggs to try and make sense of the rollercoaster that is Alberta Politics!

4.51 - On another live episode of The Breakdown, we start of by focusing on the bombshell press conference that followed Danielle Smith's swearing in as the new premier of Alberta. Her appalling comments about discrimination overshadowed other parts of the press conference, including what Smith would be focusing on and when she intends to do it, although re-indexing of AISH was notably missing. So before we began our weekly town hall, we shared another conversation with AISH advocate Don Slater where he reminds not only Smith but all of the UCP Leadership candidates of the commitments they made to reminded AISH.

The Atlantic Hurricane Season starts today and runs through November 30th. And while Hampton Roads does not typically see an increase in storm activity until late August, there is always the conversation to be had about preparedness. Federal forecasters released their predictions for this season and say they expect and above average season with three to six major hurricanes. The forecast follows one of the busiest seasons on record last year that saw intense levels of storms, but no direct hit on the U.S. coastline. On the Wednesday edition of HearSay, the dean of weather forecasters, WAVY News 10's chief meteorologist Don Slater joins us along with Virginia's Coordinator of Emergency Management, Michael Cline to talk about what might lie ahead for us this season and how you can be prepared.
