In a province facing concerns over health care, education, and what to do with a booming oil-based budget surplus, the race to replace Jason Kenney as United Conservative Party and premier has largely focused on one major issue: Alberta's autonomy. The discussion about various ways to advance Alberta's place in Confederation was once again front and centre at the final leadership debate in Edmonton. National Post reporter Tyler Dawson joins the program to discuss Tuesday's debate, whether anyone appears to have gained any ground on front-runner Danielle Smith, and why the issue of autonomy, or sovereignty, has been such a looming presence.

Early on in the COVID-19 pandemic, Alberta was among the provinces that seemed ready to face the challenge head on, and in many ways, that’s what happened at first. But, as summer turned to fall, Alberta followed many provinces, and countries with mounting case counts in the pandemic’s second wave. And cries have grown louder for the government to do more. The National Post’s Alberta reporter Tyler Dawson joins Dave to talk about when things started to turn for Alberta, how the government is trying to get a handle on things, and why that may not be enough.

Early in the COVID-19 pandemic, when we were still learning about the virus, Canadians looked to the top doctors for advice. In B.C. and Alberta, people were comforted by the calm demeanours of Doctors Bonnie Henry and Deena Hinshaw. But, as provinces have rolled out back-to-school plans, that comfort has started to fade, with much of the criticism being directed at the health officials. Dave Breakenridge is joined by the National Post’s Tyler Dawson about where the criticism has come from, why the doctors are the targets, and how much provincial politics play a role.

In the wake of Justin Trudeau's return to power after the election, conservative eyes are turning to Alberta where Jason Kenney is confidently leading a right of centre of government. Kenney is benefitting, critics would say fuelling, from increasing talk of separatism and western alienation. His first budget, released days after the federal vote, has faced criticism on the left for cutting too much, but also on the right for de-indexing income taxes, which adds up, critics argue, to a tax hike. Dave is joined by National Post Alberta reporter Tyler Dawson.

Polls are showing that a minority government is a very real possibility, prompting increasing talk of a Liberal coalition with the NDP. To appeal to progressive voters, both parties are targeting the oil and gas industry turning Alberta into somewhat of a villain. Justin Trudeau is vulnerable to on this issue because he purchased the Trans Mountain pipeline. However, he argues that all revenues from the pipeline will be used to transition away from oil and gas while claiming he will fight Canada's conservative premiers. Dave is Joined by National Post Alberta correspondent Tyler Dawson.

Anger at Prime Minister Justin Trudeau over pipelines, his carbon tax and a seeming lack of support for western issues has spurred some to start talking western separation. Depsite current separatist parties being a non-entity, and Alberta electing staunch federalist Jason Kenney in the spring, the Idea of a “Western Exit” or Wexit is catching the attention of some.

Western Canadians, many of them upset with Justin Trudeau, his carbon tax and inaction on pipelines, took to the highway over the last week. The United We Roll convoy did just that, they rolled from Red Deer Alberta to Ottawa, where they stayed for a couple of days. But the movement did come with a bit of a muddled message. We look at what the convoy had hoped to accomplish, how they’re dealing with fringe elements, and what happens now that the trucks have started rolling home. Dave is joined by National Post reporter Tyler Dawson.

Conservative politicians across Canada are banding together to fight Justin Trudeau's carbon tax. Last month Trudeau announced that the Liberal government carbon pricing plan will include rebates for people in provinces that do not have their own plan.

Should some Christian worship songs and hymns not be song in corporate, public worship?  Are some songs good or at least OK songs, for personal worship in your car driving to work, but not for congregational singing?  Jonathan Pratt says, “Yes!”  He has compiled and edited a list of criteria for discernment in hymn selection.  If you have never asked yourself, “What types of songs are sung in your church's services and gatherings and why?” this episode of Reconnect is a must listen for you.  If you are a pastor or worship leader in charge of selecting your congregation's music and you can't explain why each and every song was picked for the service, and if you do have the answers, but your answers don't contain theological reasons, you should definitely listen to this episode! Jonathan Pratt lays out six categories of criteria for song selection in congregational singing while Tyler Dawson and David Pratt critique or confirm Jonathan's list.  Andy Wrasman for the most part just moderates and asks questions for this episode.  “Criteria for Discernment in Hymn Selection” as compiled and edited by Jonathan Pratt Theology Christ-Centered Biblically Grounded Proper Distinction Between Law and Gospel Theology of the Cross Linguistic Doctrinal Precision Poetic Integrity Corporate Nature of the Text Musical Music Serving the Text Proper Union of Text and Tune Musical Integrity of Tune and Setting Churchly Character of the Tune Liturgical Church Year and Lectionary Appropriate Sacramental Focus Supportive of Daily Devotional Life Ability of Text and Tune to Withstand Repeated Usage Pastoral Catechetical Use Cultivating Faith and Piety Provides Comfort to the Believer Church Historic Catholicity Ethnic Catholicity

Guity secret: some of my favorite movies are sex comedies. Porky’s, American Pie, Hollywood Knights – I’m a big, unapologetic fan of one of the most sexploitive indie film genres there is. When they are funny, that is, and go in directions no one saw, getting us from beginning to end with dollops of sex and amusing situations. QUINCY ROSE podcast excerpt: "'Friends Effing Friends Effing Friends' was called something else originally and it was a little different of a film. In coming up with a new title, someone said, 'Friends Fxxking Friends,' and I said, 'That's pretty funny.' We kicked that around. But it was apparent nobody was going to let us put that on a poster. Or in any kind of advertising. I thought, 'What if it was 'Friends Effing Friends?' Then we added another '...Effing Friends' and I thought that sounded funny." JILLIAN LEIGH podcast excerpt: "So many meanings to the woods 'eff someone'! The ways you can 'eff someone'!" You can LISTEN to this interview with QUINCY ROSE and JILLIAN LEIGH, director and actress, respectively, of FRIENDS EFFING FRIENDS EFFING FRIENDS, by clicking the audio player above! Fortunately, Friends Effing Friends Effing Friends meets my high standards for the category. It’s funny, sexy and brings a twist in Act III that maybe the title gives away, but the execution is perfect. Friends Effing Friends Effing Friends is writer/director/producer/editor (c’mon, it’s an indie, after all) Quincy Rose’s second feature film, following on the heels of Miles To Go. JILLIAN LEIGH podcast excerpt: "In my life, sometimes, exchanging sex for love felt like the only thing I could offer... It's sad... I hope my dad isn't watching this... I had a guy once (perform a sex act) until I was his girlfriend. And it worked! People will try anything... and he was very good."   His family background bears further investigation: his father, Mickey Rose, co-wrote the early Woody Allen films – no kidding -- Bananas, Take the Money and Run, and What’s Up Tiger Lily – you know, the early, “funny” Allen flicks. Mickey Rose’s other writing credits include “The Sid Caesar Show,” “The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson,” “The Dean Martin Show,” “The Smothers Brothers Show” from the mid-1970s, plus episodes of everything from the original “Odd Couple” and “Happy Days” to “Charlie’s Angels,” “Mr. and Mrs. Dracula,” and “The Chimp and Me.” QUINCY ROSE podcast excerpt: "My dad, Mickey Rose, and Woody Allen came up together and wrote a lot of comedy together ("Bananas," "Take the Money and Run," "What’s Up Tiger Lily," "The Sid Caesar Show," the "I Shot a Moose" standup routine). And my dad and Garry Marshall ("The Odd Couple," "Happy Days") were in the Army Reserves together. My dad also wrote for Carl Reiner. They were the generation that came from nothing and made it; I am from the generation that came from something all blew it all." As for actress Jillian Leigh, who plays “Laura” in Friends Effing Friends Effing Friends, she has become a familiar face on the indie scene, appearing in City Baby, A Big Love Story, Echo Lake, and The Badger Game.
