Show Notes
0:41 | What a weekend for news. Britain's got a(nother) new PM, a(nother) masterpiece was vandalized by climate activists, and Premier Danielle Smith made waves at her first UCP AGM as party leader. Ryan kicks off the show with a quick synopsis.
8:35 | Should 16 year olds have voting rights? NDP members voted yes at their weekend convention; we ask talk radio legend Charles Adler what he thinks. Plus, we get Chuck's early thoughts on new British PM Rishi Sunak. And, of course, Adler cuts right to the heart of where conversation needs to focus after the UCP AGM over the weekend.
40:42 | Ophelia Cara's back, this time with her mom Marianna Balogh by her side. You may remember she made a huge impact on the Real Talk audience when she joined us on August 23, 2021 to discuss her drug use, and how Supervised Consumption Services saved her life. Turns out a controversial new policy in Alberta limiting access to prescriptions could negatively impact many people who use drugs. If you're looking for REAL TALK on the opioid crisis and harm reduction, you'll find it here.
