The federal NDP leadership race is on, and with the recently-harrowed federal party's strongest remaining power base right here in Alberta this may be a very Alberta-focused campaign. Former Alberta environment minister Shannon Phillips joins us on the pod to talk about the lore you'll need to understand this race—the lingering resentment over candidate Avi Lewis's attempt to introduce the LEAP manifesto at the 2019 Alberta NDP convention.
Former Alberta premier Jason Kenney argues that both B.C. Premier David Eby and federal Energy Minister Tim Hodgson appear to have forgotten which jurisdiction interprovincial pipelines fall under. He says the Constitution is clear that such projects are a matter of federal authority—a principle reaffirmed by the Supreme Court of Canada. Kenney adds that Mark Carney's "build, baby, build" promise will be tested by how his government handles Alberta's latest push to get a new pipeline built.

After Trudeau finished his sales pitch, then Saskatchewan premier Brad Wall issued his famous three word assessment, "what's the point?" Shortly afterward, as the federal and provincial environment ministers met concerning the carbon tax, Saskatchewan, Newfoundland and Labrador and Nova Scotia's ministers walked out of the meeting. Guest: Brad Wall. Former Premier of Saskatchewan Teen gender issues and gender dysphoria. While provinces (Saskatchewan and New Brunswick took the lead) passed legislation enshrining parental rights on such decisions, in Switzerland a teen is being removed from her parents care because of their objection to puberty blockers. Is Canada and cases such as this next? The main theme has become respecting the right of a young child, deemed mature by the medical profession, to make potentially lie-altering medical choices, but not deemed sufficiently mature to make decisions to drive until age 16, or smoke or drink until age of majority. A major election issue in both Saskatchewan and New Brunswick, but what about B.C.? And what about your child? Guest: Scott Taylor.

But for too long, a broken system of fossil-fuel subsidies has failed to align with our climate goals or ensure people fully benefit from these resources,” said Premier John Horgan. “That's why we're fixing the outdated oil and gas royalty system by eliminating the largest fossil-fuel subsidy in British Columbia. This will give British Columbians a fair return and allow us to invest in their priorities – like improving services, bringing down costs and tackling carbon pollution.”The new system will eliminate the Deep Well Royalty Program, the largest oil and gas subsidy, as well as other outdated and inefficient programs, such as the Marginal Well, Ultramarginal Well, Low Productivity Well Rate Reduction and the Clean Growth Infrastructure Royalty programs.

Rachel Notley, the 17th Premier of Alberta and current leader of Alberta's NDP Official Opposition, has her roots firmly planted in politics, though she didn't always know it was the route she would take. Rachel initially wanted to teach social studies, but something pulled her in the direction of public service; no doubt, it stemmed from the example her father, Grant Notley, set for her as a trailblazer of the NDP. Since then, Rachel has dedicated her life as an advocate for everyday people. Whether she worked as a labour lawyer, an MLA, or the Premier of Alberta, she always had one goal: to serve those who are most in need. Her efforts to cut child poverty in half, to establish economic growth in Alberta, and her dedication to making sure the government makes decisions on behalf of its people are incredibly inspiring and motivating. This week, Rachel shares stories of her paralyzing initial fear of public speaking, watching her father work, her childhood attitude toward politics, and much more. Her journey is one of determination, sticking to your moral compass, and empowering those around you through leading by example. For more on Rachel and what she's currently working on, check her out on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. Carrie has a Facebook group she would love for you to join!

Also gone is the section headings on both types of terrorism. Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale's office argues the December version of the report "unintentionally maligned certain communities" and the revision of the report was to deliver a "bias-free approach" to terminology, adding "the impact of these terms may not be readily apparent to some who come from places of privilege, who seldom experience judgement based on skin colour or religion alone."
