Dr. David Keegan

The section of our show where Dr. David Keegan called in to share the story of his nephews death by suicide because of Smith's policies is so important and heartbreaking we decided to release a version with a few minor technical difficulties removed.

Episode 6.04 - Euan Thomson & Drug Data Decoded!

With Edmonton cracking down on homeless encampments and teaming up with the province to create a processing centre, as well as the UCP ignoring the overwhelming evidence that supports harm reduction, we sat down with Euan Thomson from DrugDataDecoded.ca to try to make sense of these issues as well as address safe supply, supervised consumption sites and Danielle Smith's upcoming forced treatment!

Dr Andrew Leach is an economist, a constitutional law scholar and a professor at the University of Alberta! He recently released a new book entitled “Between Doom and Denial” which takes a look at the ongoing conversation about Oil and Gas during a time of climate change and where investors are demanding companies and jurisdictions work to reach net zero. Plus we ask him for his thoughts on the Alberta Pension Plan, the Carbon Tax & Nate Horner’s announcement he’s pursuing a retrofit subsidy for Albertans who want to switch from Natural Gas to… Heating oil?
