On the one year anniversary of the tragic downing of flight PS752, Javad Soleimani, Daniel Ghods, and Peyman Parseyan share their grief, the details of their journey, and the reason for their continued advocacy for justice. After releasing an open letter to the provincial government, asking for a stop the plan to consolidate Alberta's 9-1-1 dispatch, Alberta mayors Naheed Nenshi, Tara Veer, Chris Spearman, and Don Scott explain why they're so concerned, and shine light on the strained relationship between the UCP and Alberta's municipalities. Sprawl editor-in-chief Jeremy Klaszus takes us into the relationship between Premier Jason Kenney's government and Westjet, and lays out what might be influencing provincial policy on things like travel and testing. Plus, wrap up the week with another boisterous edition of Trash Talk, presented by Local Waste!
