I'm genuinely excited to have this man on the show for a conversation that's both of the moment, and critical. Naheed Nenshi, Leader of the Alberta NDP, is here.(Note: Since recording this episode, we've since been in contact with Premier Smith's Office and are hopeful to schedule that conversation soon).You know all about Mr. Nenshi and his powerful political brand. Former 3-term Mayor of Calgary. Named best Mayor in the World in 2014! Winner of the Alberta NDP Leadership on the first ballot about a year ago, with over 86% of the vote.He upped that to almost 90% in a leadership review just last weekend at the party's annual convention. Today, we'll talk more about his bio, background, and his decision to join the NDP. And then, the issues du jour ... Western alienation, Alberta separatism, and legitimate grievances about oil and gas. And also, what exactly is his argument to replace Premier Smith?Thank you for joining us on #TheHerleBurly podcast.

This week on The Discourse, Cheryl and Erika wade into the political firestorm Premier Danielle Smith kicked off with her live address on Alberta's sovereignty. Cheryl opens with a scathing monologue on why Smith's refusal to outright reject separation has real consequences — politically, economically, and reputationally. Erika counters that Smith's move is about getting ahead of grassroots frustration, not fuelling separatism. Sparks fly as they unpack what it means to lower the referendum threshold, who's really behind the push for independence, and whether Smith is preserving democracy or playing footsie with Take Back Alberta. From there, your hosts tackle: Whether Alberta's “Fair Deal 2.0” will be an actual educational tool — or just more grievance theatre. Naheed Nenshi's fiery “just do it” dare to Smith, and why Cheryl thinks it's playing with fire. The Carney-Trump Oval Office meeting: why both hosts were (cautiously) impressed. Smith vs. Ford: two premiers, two very different tones on working with Prime Minister Carney. What the Alberta NDP's new federal opt-out means — and whether 89% is really a strong number for Nenshi. And a preview of three coming by-elections in Alberta: what each party's strategy might be, and whether the UCP will continue to drag out the timeline for Nenshi's seat. Listen now for a fiery debate on democracy, discontent, and the future of Alberta.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith delivered a scathing rebuke of Mark Carney and Naheed Nenshi in the Alberta Legislature this week while defending her government's efforts to protect Alberta from U.S. tariff threats. Smith also blasted Mark Carney for flip-flopping on his stance regarding the oil and gas emissions cap after a new report showed Alberta would bear the brunt of the economic fallout if the cap is implemented. In Calgary, Conservative candidate Amanpreet Singh Gill is under scrutiny for previously donating to the Liberals and George Chahal's riding association. And finally, Oilers fans have coined the term “Carney Curse” after Edmonton's recent string of bad luck following Carney's appearance on the ice with the team.

WELCOME TO THE MWSA PODCAST FOR WEDNESDAY, JAN 29TH For the 6th consecutive time, the Bank of Canada has cut interest rates – as the inflation rate remains around 2-percent, and the threat of US Tariffs Loom. We took a look at the latest rate reduction – and the impact it will have on Canadian homeowners – with Penelope Graham, Mortgage Expert at ‘Ratehub.ca'. Next – the latest ‘Green Line LRT' plan has been ‘green lit' by City Council. This final plan was the latest put forth by the Provincial UCP Government – which came with some not so glowing remarks surrounding former Calgary Mayor – and current NDP Leader, Naheed Nenshi. We caught up with Mr. Nenshi to get his views on the plan – and reaction to having his name attached to the controversial project. And finally – she's all about the newest, latest and greatest offerings on Calgary's culinary ‘scene'. Linda Garson is Editor-in-Chief of “Culinaire Magazine” – we ‘flip through' the pages of the latest edition – which features our love of Java – and the growing popularity of miso soup among Calgary foodies.

Dr. Carol and Kim Pittis highlight the swift and effective medical response from UCSF Children's Hospital, emphasizing the combination of frequency-specific microcurrent (FSM) therapy with traditional medicine.

It highlights the importance of acting fast and relying on the expertise of healthcare professionals when things take an alarming turn. After tackling this ordeal, it was incredible to have the support of the community and to engage in discussions about the crucial role of modern medicine and shared knowledge in navigating health challenges. This experience reinforced the value of antibiotics and the essential partnership between various treatments.   Exploring Deeper Health Discussions We deep dive into several health-related topics, bringing out detailed discussions about treating scars, both atrophic and keloid, and how frequency specific microcurrent can make a significant difference. Burn scars and the complexities they bring were discussed, illustrating effective techniques for enhancing mobility and comfort.

They reflected on fascinating insights into hormonal impacts, nutritional considerations, and the intriguing intersection of different treatment strategies. It's always about finding the right balance and combination that works best for each individual case.   A Community of Continuous Learning One of the podcast's core messages is about the endless growth and learning that occur within our community. Whether discussing personal experiences, expert advice, or audience questions, there's a shared commitment to expanding our understanding and improving outcomes. The discussions also touched on the importance of staying informed about the latest research, attending symposiums, and the role of case reports in advancing collective knowledge. It's about learning from one another, challenging current frameworks, and exploring innovative treatments.

'Time enough for Smith to deal with the Alberta NDP after she's dealt with the Trudeau Liberals.'... Nigel speaks to Alberta senator-elect Erika Barootes on Premier Smith's endorsement win at the recent UCP convention.

For the past several months, Kathleen Ganley, Jodi Calahoo Stonehouse, Sarah Hoffman and Naheed Nenshi have been battling it out to see who will replace Rachel Notley as leader of Alberta's NDP. Each leadership candidate faced an entrance fee of $60,000 and a spending limit of $500,000. Initially, David Shepherd registered his candidacy early, but did not pursue it further. Rakhi Pancholi also announced her candidacy early, but withdrew from the leadership race shortly after Naheed Nenshi entered the race. She then endorsed Nenshi. Gil McGowan also announced his candidacy later in the campaign, but withdrew for financial reasons. Our speaker will elaborate on the leadership campaign and speculate on the influence, power and support from within, the new Alberta NDP leader will be able to muster.

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we're bummed. Our long weekend plans collapsed like so much roofing that may or may not be a threat to some school kids on a class trip! Fortunately, there is lots of news and politics to chew on including surprise closures of tourist attractions, a surprising electoral victory and even a not-so-surprising one out west. As for the rest of the show, we've called the police, and they're here to talk!! This Thursday, June 27, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: Mystery Science Centre Theatre. It was more than a little shocking last Friday when the Government of Ontario announced that they were closing the Ontario Science Centre due to a roof that might literally collapse at any minute. Naturally, that's not the whole story, and half the province has spent the last six days trying to figure where the spin ends and where the truth begins. Now we take our turn, is there skulduggery afoot, and is Doug Ford trying to blind us by getting rid of Science? In Naheed of the Night. Former Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi won the leadership of the Alberta NDP in a veritable landslide, and now all he has to do is bide his time till 2027 and the next Alberta election. We'll talk about what Nenshi's going to do in the meantime, and the road to get there, and we will also interject this talk about Alberta politics with a brief discussion about that big Liberal loss in Toronto-St. Paul and why it might not be the end of the world for Team Trudeau. Police Stories. This week, the Guelph Police Service released their annual report and in its pages there's a picture of what a tricky balancing act it is to police a rapidly growing city like ours. Here to take us behind the scenes, and behind the numbers this week, is Chief Gord Cobey, Deputy Chief Steve Gill, and Inspector Andrew Goody who oversees policing needs downtown. Together, they will explain why Guelph is safer than you might think, where they want to make improvements, and why they're trying to be more proactive. Open Sources is live on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca at 5 pm on Thursday.

Alberta's next provincial election is more than three years away, but with a new NDP leader, it's not going to be a quiet political summer. NDP strategists Keith McLaughlin and Cheryl Oates, along with CBC Calgary writer Jason Markusoff, join West of Centre host Kathleen Petty to discuss why “politics has no chill” in Alberta — especially now with Naheed Nenshi at the NDP helm.

The Alberta NDP have a new leader, and for us Calgarians, it's a familiar face! Former Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi will take over the reins from outgoing leader Rachel Notley. What direction will Mr. Nenshi take the party? We speak with the newly ‘minted' leader to ask him about his plans for the party moving ahead. Next, we continue our conversation surrounding the NDP Leadership Race, which ended up being a landslide victory, with Naheed Nenshi taking 86% of the vote. We catch up with Lori Williams, Political Scientist with Mount Royal University, for her thoughts on the outcome and what we can expect from the new leader. Finally, from depression, to loneliness, to isolation, and in some cases, suicide. June is “Men's Mental Health Awareness” month and while the mental health issues facing men today may be ‘complex', a conversation surrounding the topic is certainly a good place to start.

SummaryIn this podcast episode, Brittlestar Steve Boots and Lisa B, along with special guest Naheed Nenshi, discuss the relationship between Alberta and the rest of Canada, particularly Ontario. They explore why there seems to be a chip on Alberta's shoulder and why people in Ontario view Alberta as a wasteland. Naheed Nenshi, the guest, explains that some of the tension is rooted in the historical perception of the West as a source of resources for central Canada. The conversation also touches on environmental policies, the energy market system in Alberta, and the mismanagement of the electricity market by the UCP government. The conversation between Naheed K Nenshi and Brittlestar explores the political landscape in Alberta and the role of empathy and compromise in politics. Nenshi discusses the question of whether the government's actions are driven by malice or incompetence, and he leans towards incompetence. He also criticizes the current government for being disinterested in governing and for making policies that harm vulnerable groups. Nenshi explains his decision to re-enter politics and his goal of bringing hope and unity to Alberta. He emphasizes the importance of reaching out to rural communities and understanding their concerns. Nenshi also discusses the shift in political discourse towards anger and division, which he attributes to deliberate strategies by certain groups. In this final part of the conversation, Naheed K Nenshi discusses the demographics of political audiences and the changing voting patterns of older generations. He emphasizes the importance of engaging with diverse stakeholders and finding common ground within the party. Nenshi also addresses the need for clear communication and understanding when discussing healthcare and private investment. He acknowledges the challenges of building a coalition and winning over voters in Alberta, but remains optimistic about the future of the NDP.TakeawaysThere is a historical perception that the West, including Alberta, is seen as a source of resources for the enrichment of central Canada.Tension between Alberta and the rest of Canada is fueled by divisive discourse from politicians and an inability to make deals for the benefit of all.Environmental policies and the energy market system in Alberta contribute to the strained relationship between Alberta and the rest of Canada.The mismanagement of the electricity market by the UCP government has led to skyrocketing electricity prices in Alberta. The current government in Alberta is seen as incompetent rather than malicious, although there may be instances of malice in certain policies.Nenshi aims to bring hope and unity to Alberta and believes in the importance of reaching out to rural communities.The political discourse has shifted towards anger and division, which Nenshi attributes to deliberate strategies by certain groups.Nenshi emphasizes the need for empathy and compromise in politics and believes in the power of kindness and empathy to bring about positive change. The demographics of political audiences are changing, and it is important for parties to recognize and engage with diverse groups.Older generations are no longer exclusively conservative, as voting patterns show an inversion where older individuals are becoming more liberal.Engaging with stakeholders and finding common ground within the party is crucial for success.Clear communication and understanding are necessary when discussing healthcare and private investment.Building a coalition and winning over voters in Alberta can be challenging, but it is essential for the NDP's success.

Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre's taking his "Axe the Tax" rallies across the country ahead of another carbon tax increase on April 1. Meantime, more than 200 economists have signed an open letter criticizing Poilievre's message and calling for "sound evidence and facts" in the debate around carbon pricing. Predictably, prominent Conservatives like Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe are questioning the credibility of the economists who've signed the letter.

In the latest episode of The Line Podcast, recorded on March 29, 2024 — and happy Easter, everyone! — the dynamic Line editing duo first start by indulging Matt in some pure speculation. He has a hunch that after months of getting their butts kicked, the Liberals, specifically Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, might be starting to find his fight again. It's too soon to say for sure, but they'll be watching to see if the Liberals even have enough energy left to make a contest of it.Jen takes over then, and the two talk at length about the carbon tax, and a letter signed by many leading Canadian economists this week that lauds carbon pricing. The two don't disagree on the economics, but they do suspect that some of our leading economic thinkers may not have thought through the political ramifications of this. Does anyone think that Pierre Poilievre is worried that academic elites want the carbon tax to stay? Read the room, guys. Look around at the state of things. Are they trying to get him elected?Matt then notes a damned interesting speech by the Bank of Canada's senior deputy governor. In it, Carolyn Rogers warned a Halifax audience that Canada's economy is now in a state of "emergency." It's an interesting speech on its own merits, but what really caught Matt's attention was the simple fact that central bankers don't talk about emergencies even during literal emergencies, like plagues and wars. How freaked out must they be to talk this bluntly in prepared remarks?Jen then provides a quick update on the Nenshi campaign for Alberta NDP leader. It's starting to look like he's going to run away with it. She explains why.Also! The Line is now launching a new podcast — On The Line.

SummaryIn this episode, the hosts discuss Naheed Nenshi's candidacy for the NDP party leadership in Alberta. They explore Nenshi's fit with the political landscape in Alberta and the need for buoyancy in the NDP. The hosts also discuss the challenge of appealing to the public beyond superficialities and the importance of ideology and affinity for the NDP. They highlight the lack of distinction between parties and the need to balance rural and urban interests. The episode concludes with a discussion on maintaining a positive leadership race and the challenges faced by Gil McGowan's campaign due to COVID-19. The conversation explores the binary nature of politics and the need for people to pick a side. It also discusses the fatigue with divisive rhetoric and the potential for people to tire of it. The perception of Canada being broken is examined, along with the impact of the pandemic on people's perspectives. The concept of recency bias in voting is explored, as well as the tendency to blame the federal government. The erosion of social consideration and the fragility of life are also discussed as factors contributing to the perception of a broken world. The conversation explores the themes of appreciating what we took for granted, the absurdities of institutions, the erosion of empathy, the rise of individualism, the cynicism of politicians, and the challenges of polling and public opinion.TakeawaysNaheed Nenshi's candidacy for the NDP party leadership in Alberta brings star power and the potential for a fresh perspective.The NDP in Alberta is at a crossroads and needs to balance its socialist roots with electability.Appealing to the public beyond superficialities and focusing on policy and ideology are crucial for the NDP's success.The NDP needs to address the grudges held by Albertans and focus on balancing rural and urban interests.Maintaining a positive leadership race and adapting to the challenges of COVID-19 are important for the success of the NDP.

Former Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi appeared at a rally over the weekend, calling out Premier Danielle Smith for her recently-announced policies on pronouns and parents rights, Sex Ed, and Trans women in sport. It's got people wondering if the winner of the 2014 World Mayor Prize might be gearing up for an Alberta NDP leadership run. If that is the case, it's safe to suggest Nenshi would immediately be seen as a formidable candidate. But is he a good fit?  6:04 | Charles Adler tells us why he thinks a Nenshi leadership run would be the most interesting political story in Canada.

We begin with a conversation with Former Mayor, Naheed Nenshi. Mr. Nenshi has been quite vocal about his thoughts on the importance of the upcoming Provincial Election, specifically surrounding what he sees as ‘issues' with the current day UCP movement. Healthcare continues to be a ‘critical' issue for Alberta voters perhaps now more than in any previous Provincial Election. We take a look at how the healthcare platforms and policies of the two major parties ‘stack up' with Bobby-Joe Borodey, Vice President of the Alberta Union of Provincial Employees. Finally, it's our monthly chat with Deborah Yedlin, President and CEO of the ‘Calgary Chamber'. This time out, Deborah shares her thoughts on how the election could impact local businesses, depending on which party comes out on top on May 29th.

Finally, we speak with a Calgary man who's travelled to Turkey to try and locate members of his family missing in the after-math of last week's deadly Earthquake. We hear the heart-wrenching story of Mohammed Ajmal Nikzad.

David Wallace is back, and he was just sued by Shane Homes. But now David gets to fire back, by deposing all of the witnesses in the Naheed Nanshi plot where various Alberta conservatives allegedly conspired to remove Nenshi from office. Why anyone would want to tempt David to fight when he has nothing to lose is beyond me, but we are here for all of it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Welcome to the MWSA Podcast for Friday, July 30. Mayor Naheed Nenshi was a little "hot under the collar" this week with the Provincial government's announcement surrounding the further easing of COVID-19 restrictions, including the "winding down" of contact tracing and the end of mandated quarantine for those who get the virus. Deborah Yedlin, the President and CEO of “The Calgary Chamber” gives us details on this year's edition of the Chamber's “Small Business Awards," and some tips on how Calgarians can help support the many small businesses in our city, impacted during the Pandemic. COVID-19 cases continue to climb at an alarming pace in the U.S. We get an update on just how serious the situation is in the United States, with Jennifer Johnson, Washington Correspondent with Global News. Move over Spock! The town of Vulcan has a new claim to fame. We speak with Bonnie Ellis, the Community Services Manager for the Town of Vulcan about their town's newly acquired title of “Most Active Community in Alberta."

Cory Morgan sits down with Franco Terrazzano of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation about federal issues including the growing debt, the dream of a balanced budget coming around long after many of us are gone,  and Canada accruing $3.8 trillion solely in interest. Cory and Franco also discuss the impending wealth tax and Trudeau allowing average Canadians to foot his bill — without any Ottawa politicians taking a pay cut. Later, Cory takes on Albertan municipal politics as he rants about the many scandals of impending Calgary mayoral candidate Jeff Davison and ponders Nenshi's claims that Davison is in cahoots with third-party advertisers. Cory also calls out Jyoti Gondek, another Calgary mayoral candidate, for her municipal childcare platform and seeming lack of insight into the issue. Finally, Cory takes shots at left-of-left-leaning Medicine Hat mayoral candidate Tony Leahy for his misguided dreams of starting a municipally run mental health care program. #Trudeau #JustinTrudeau #Alberta #AB #ABPolitics #AlbertaPolitics #Calgary #YYC #YYCPolitics #CalgaryPolitics #CalgaryMayor #MedicineHate #FederalDebt #Canada #CanadianPolitics #CanadianGovernment #CanadianNews #JyotiGondek #JeffDavison #Nenshi #NaheedNenshi #MunicipalPolitics #CalgaryMunicipalPolitics #AlbertaMunicipalPolitics

Nenshi cries racism. Again. Greenpeace are stunned. Will Amos and the continuing penis drama. Wuhan. Bill C96 is actually good. Ron Maclean vs. Frederick Banting. Palestine and foreign aid.

Three-term Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi joins The Forgotten Corner just days after announcing he will not be running again this fall.Nenshi takes listeners through his journey that led him to become one of the most well-known municipal leaders in the world. He talks about his rise to fame, the struggles of the office and what it was like lead a city like Calgary as both a person of colour and the first Muslim mayor in Canadian history.Check out the Harbinger Media Network. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Publisher Derek Fildebrandt, news editor Dave Naylor, Ottawa bureau chief Ken Grafton and columnist Cory Morgan discuss and analyze the top news stories of the day. While Nenshi's chief of staff luxuriates in Hawaii with impunity, Kenney continues to deal with the fallout from his traveling chief of staff. The media double standard is on full display as a cone of silence drops upon left leaning critics who had been calling for blood from the UCP. To compound his grief, it has been reported that Jason Kenney has moved his office into the toxic "Sky Palace" from the Alison Redford era. The symbolism is ugly and comes at a terrible time. Justin Trudeau has yet to be seen lately. While it appears that Trudeau indeed probably was not on the Challenger jet which was spotted in the Barbados, the question remains, who was?

I have never given money to a firearms advocacy group.  After hearing about and reading the Maclean's article of how my hobby and pastime is being framed in MSM something needed to be done. I want to say thanks from a new CCFR member.  I work fulltime and if someone or some organization can speak up for me in Ottawa whilst I earn my living, great.

Calgary's ultra-progressive Mayor Naheed Nenshi has had a rough couple of months. Nenshi’s desperate attempt to cement his legacy in the form of a multi-billion dollar Olympics in the middle of an economic downturn fizzled out after taxpayers rejected the idea at the ballot box. Then, through freedom of information requests, our friends at taxpayer advocacy group Save Calgary, uncovered collusion between a mole in the Calgary Sun newsroom and the Calgary City administration. An article by Rick Bell that was critical of council, was leaked to the city by someone in the newsroom before it was ever published. Now, new reports are out showing a startling increase in crime in neighbourhoods where Nenshi’s city council has plunked a supervised drug injection site. And of course, Nenshi stuck both legs up to his knees right into his mouth when he said that Calgarians aren’t all just a bunch of “F-350 driving cavemen” in one of the most bizarre and pretentious attempts to defend the ethical nature of Alberta’s oil patch I have ever heard. There isn’t much accountability down at Calgary city hall. The conservatives on council are outnumbered and out-gunned. And that’s where Save Calgary comes in. They fight for transparency and honesty in municipal government. Joining me tonight from Save Calgary is a good friend of the show, William McBeath, to talk about Nenshi’s terrible end to 2018, followed by an even worse start in 2019.

Calgary held yet another massive lunch time pro-pipeline rally this past Monday. Over 2,000 people showed up at Calgary's Municipal Plaza to show their support for Canada's battered, beleaguered oil and gas industry. The speakers at the rally included Calgary municipal politicians which shouldn’t have been unusual or controversial, except those speakers ended up making themselves both! Mayor Nenshi tried to speak French to the rally-goers, which earned him loud boos. Then he lectured the attendees on the merits of fighting climate change. Councillor Peter Dejong was also booed after telling the crowd to support Quebec cheese and to avoid trade embargoes and boycotts. In response to the criticism from the crowd, he whined, “and you call yourselves Canadian? Wow.” How could these two be so tone deaf and out of touch with the concerns of the people in their own city that they turned a pro-pipeline rally against themselves? Tonight William McBeath from Save Calgary joins me to discuss how the rally went sideways for Calgary's purple prince, Mayor Nenshi, and we also examine city hall’s latest attempts to get a handle on renegade rookie councillor Jeromy Farkas. It’s been a horrible week for Nenshi and it’s only Wednesday!

On November 13th, 2018, Calgary's residents wisely voted against a two-week-long legacy party for Mayor Naheed Nenshi. In a municipal plebiscite where over three-hundred thousand ballots were cast, over 56 per cent voted “No” to Calgary hosting the 2026 Olympic Winter Games. Thank God. It was a rebuke of the wasteful priorities at Calgary city council, a rejection of the corruption of the International Olympic Committee and a rare win for common sense and accountability in Alberta politics. Will this whole expensive and secretive debacle be a gut check for City Hall? Or will Mayor Nenshi simply move on to the next expensive pet project to be laid at the feet of Calgary taxpayers? Joining me tonight to discuss how Calgary dodged the Olympic bullet, and what's on the horizon for Calgary taxpayers suffering through the worst economic recession in a generation, is taxpayer advocate, William McBeath, from municipal accountability group, Save Calgary.

TONIGHT I'll show you the Media Party's reaction to that one sweatshirt, from reporters at the National Post and the Globe and Mail. So the real news is that 2,000 Calgarians had a peaceful but noisy protest against unemployment being foisted upon them. And the media reports were that Nenshi and Trudeau hugged it out, and that someone wearing a novelty shirt wanted to kill Trudeau obviously and he’s really, really scary!

Well the bid for the Olympic Games in Calgary is finally over—in our wee city there are people trumpeting triumphantly, and others crying in their beer—for us it's just another day. A day where Panda is $100 richer. Taxation has gone crazy stacking up against small business, public works of art are being called into question, the world is mayhem which is why we end up talking about folklore, the law of supply and demand, virtual reality, video games, Newton the time travelling cat, and stand-up comedy. The world is cray-cray.

Dropbear and Panda welcome Dan "No Bear" Gauld to the show to talk about why he started the NO CALGARY OLYMPICS movement, and what it means to him and our city. Rife with profanity and considered opinions on all sides, there's even a bet on the outcome; and Dropbear says he'll even give Mayor Nenshi $100 towards the games. Dropbear is a romantic and is all about the Olympics; Panda is a hard-nope until sitting by roaring fires while drinking craft beer becomes a winter sport. And Dan? That's a no. Noooooo. Nope.

The Calgary Olympic bid has been a dishonest mess from the very beginning. It’s become a Frankenstein monster, roughly sewn together in order to realize Mayor Naheed Nenshi’s dreams of a global scale legacy party for himself, paid for by the taxpayers of Canada. News of leaked conversations, secret meetings, behind the scenes deals, and duelling taxpayer federation associations cross-endorsing each other's cities, have solidified opposition to the bid and turned patriotic fans of the olympics into cynics. Over the course of 24 hours, the bid has been dead, resurrected, and then maybe dead again. It’s changing by the minute and costing money every step of the way. Join me tonight as I speak with William McBeath from Save Calgary, in an interview that we recorded Tuesday morning, way back when the Olympic bid was still dead in its grave. Watch as William explains how Calgary taxpayers got so far into this mess in the first place, and what we can do next to stop the bleeding at Calgary city hall.

The Roy Green Show Podcast   Following the mass shooting in Las Vegas last weekend, the topic of gun ownership is once again being widely debated. What is the fundamental reason behind all the shootings and deaths in the United States? An epidemiologist at the University of Illinois argues the shootings are a 'public health issue'. He warned the Governor of Illinois that a surge in shootings in Chicago would take place after funding was cut for the CeaseFire program (now called Cure Violence). He was right. Guest: Dr. Gary Slutkin, epidemiologist at the University of Illinois and founder of Cure Violence - Tracey Wilson argues that legal gun owners need to come out of the closet in order to alter public opinion of who owns firearms and to reduce the stigma around the people who do.   Guest: Tracey Wilson, Orleans chairwoman of the Canadian Coalition for Firearm Rights - Almost immediately, ISIS claimed responsibility for last weekend's mass shooting in Las Vegas. Graeme Wood is an ISIS expert, author and Atlantic magazine contributor who wrote a piece for Atlantic titled, "Why did the Islamic State claim the Las Vegas shooting?" Guest: Graeme Wood, has interviewed IS members, author of “The Way of Strangers: Encounters with the Islamic State” - Federal Finance Minister Bill Morneau says he has listened to Canadians about his tax fairness plan and is prepared to act on what he has heard.  However, Richard Kurland says he has a simple plan that will lead to income tax fairness.
