"If Albertans put themselves in a position where it's Constitutional uncertainty, deep division, threats, guns to the head...we are going to miss massive opportunities." #cdnpoli #RealTalkRJ
Prime Minister @MarkJCarney says Alberta would squander "massive opportunities" with a vote for a binding referendum on separating from Canada.
Do you see it the same way?

No more "DEI hires" in Alberta's public sector, says Premier Danielle Smith. Opposition says it's a solution looking for a problem. We ask @CarrieTait about it.

Alberta's all about freedom...until it comes to one of the biggest personal decisions you could possibly make.
Governments don't care about your end-of-life wishes.
Ottawa's new MAID legislation still gives provinces too much control over personal choice, says Dying With Dignity's Helen Long. How do you feel about it?

"Bollywood" doesn't represent all of Indian cinema. I learned so much about one of the world's biggest entertainment industries - and the driving force behind it - throughout this interview: rtrj.info/103026IFFA
India Film Festival of Alberta: indiafilmfestival.ca #yeg
Indian cinema reaches far beyond entertainment. Acclaimed actors/filmmakers Ishita Deshmukh, @realradikaa & Srijit Mukherji talk about the industry's cultural influence & the responsibility that comes with telling stories watched by millions.

And ask yourself, “Why did @ryanjespersen fact-check Mr. Carpay?”
It wasn’t animus. It wasn’t bias. It was because when normal people hear about the application of the Gladue discount, they think to themselves: “This sounds too ridiculous to be true. He has to be blowing smoke up my ass. I’d better fact-check this.”
You just saw a good journalist at work. Regardless of the biases we all carry, Ryan was curious, sincere, and genuine.
That’s what resonated with me—the incredulity toward the principle, and the journalistic integrity. That’s the power of the segment.
John Carpay came with receipts. 🧾
When @ryanjespersen decided to fact-check him live on race-based sentencing in Canada, John was ready.
Watch their lively exchange on #RealTalk.
