Show Notes
Political science professors Dr. Lisa Young and Dr. Laurie Adkin dig into the story leading national headlines this week - the scandal plaguing Alberta's UCP government, after more than ten MLAs and staffers travelled to the tropics over the holidays. Were yesterday's minor role reassignments and the Cabinet resignation of MLA Tracey Allard enough to satisfy an outraged public? Kristian Basaraba, an Edmonton-area teacher, takes us into his Governor General's Award-winning assignment that combines skateboarding, visual art, and Reconciliation. Former brothel owner Andrea Heinz gets personal, and explains how her personal journey led her toward her current activism around sex trade abolishment.
