1:08 | For the first time in this UCP leadership race, Albertans had their first chance Wednesday night to hear from candidates vying to be the next Premier. Edmonton Journal reporter Ashley Joannou checks in from her office at the Alberta Legislature, and shares her observations from the Medicine Hat debate.
17:30 | Ryan reads some of your comments about Danielle Smith's proposed "health spending account" - $300 per person - and shares his thoughts about what could or should be covered as part of a more fulsome approach to government-funded public health care.
22:40 | We receive a ton of great emails to [email protected]. That includes notes from Barry and Phoebe, who both qualified for a Real Talk Email of the Month award with their takes on stepping off the soap box, addressing rape culture, and supporting health care workers who are "burnt to a crisp".
NOTE: Our planned interviews with former BC Premier Christy Clark and journalist Brandi Morin will be rescheduled at their earliest availability. Sometimes, things happen and plans fall through...that's Real Life!
