Show Notes

Imagine being able to detect pine beetles or gold deposits from space. Imagine using satellite data to boost crops around the world. An Alberta-based company is doing exactly that with the support of Edmonton Unlimited's innovation community. 

2:30 | We welcome Wyvern CEO Chris Robson, tech mentor/investor Kristina Milke, and Edmonton Unlimited CEO Tom Viinikka to the Real Talk Round Table.

50:17 | Should Alberta liquor stores be allowed to sell American booze during this tariff standoff? Or is solidarity across the country more important? We read an email from Vintage West Wine and Spirits managing partner Matt Thirlwell, and check in on the Real Talk Live Chat powered by Park Power. 

1:10:30 | Scott Sinclair made waves ripping his party's budget, and paid for it with his UCP affiliation. Jespo and Johnny recap our exclusive with the MLA from Lesser Slave Lake. 

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THIS? [email protected]
