As we continue to work towards a greener Canada, a big part of the plan is the ‘move' toward Electric Vehicles, with the Federal Government going so far as to have mandates for them. But, are these EV mandates actually reachable? We discuss with Dan McTeague, President of Canadians for Affordable Energy. Next. Earlier this week, “Legal Aid Alberta” announced that its contract with the Province was terminated. What's behind this decision and how will this impact Albertans who use the service? We get the thoughts of Peter Sankoff, Professor of Law at the University of Alberta and Lead Counsel at Sankoff Criminal Law.   And finally, with Stampede kicking off, it's the perfect time to chat about the ‘business' of Stampede and how to make the most of the ten-day extravaganza!

Anybody who's ever been to Calgary knows there's no way the Stampede's getting cancelled, water shortage or not. We look at how that major water main break's been impacting communities (and neighbourly relations) in this episode (18:40). Ahead of that, we hear "the other side" of the story of the HMCS Margaret Brooke docking in Cuba alongside a Russian nuclear sub (5:23). Make sure you stick around to learn how industry is negatively affecting traditional Indigenous food sources, and what a team of Athabasca University researchers is doing about it in partnership with Bigstone Cree Nation (33:55).  5:23 | Real Talkers were fired up over Ryan and Charles Adler's riff on the Canadian warship in a Cuban harbour (June 17, 2024 episode). Ryan reads emails from Ken (a Navy veteran), RB, and the comms director for the Minister of National Defence.  TELL US WHAT YOU THINK: talk@ryanjespersen.com  18:40 | Will Calgary be ready to welcome the world to the Stampede? Ryan and Johnny touch on rumours of lawn watering and hot tub filling amid a major water shortage, and speculate over what might happen between now and the kickoff to The Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth. 33:55 | Athabasca University researchers Dr. Janelle Baker and Dr. Srijak Bhatnagar are working with Bigstone Cree Nation to better understand the impact industry is having on traditional Indigenous food sources.

The jerks bust out Marc's old VCR to review "WWF In Your House: The Canadian Stampede" from 1997. Spoiler alert: it's still awesome. In this episode, the guys offend some Canadians, the Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth isn't Vince's, pre-One-Night-In-Chyna Chyna, Mankind hurts himself yet again, Japanese wrestlers actually existed back then, Vader desperately wants to know who the man is, the Harts (even the crappy ones) have a family reunion, last words from Paul Bearer, Vince, Shamrock, Hawk, Animal, and Goldust, and we get exclusive access to Ken Shamrock's in-ring audio.
