  • Episode 7.45 - Eating The Elephant! (Dec 14, 2025 Alberta Politics Roundup!)
    Dec 15 2025

    We're back with another roundup of Alberta politics and it's more dense than a holiday fruitcake!

We start with a look at the recent news that Jordan Peterson was in the process of having his online video courses accredited by the province of Alberta before we take a look at the new law that Smith named after him, including a deep dive on what it was that got him into hot water in the first place!

From there we look at Smith's "vision" for healthcare and her prescription of a poisin pill or privatization before we then get into Mickey Amery's radical changes to referendums and the rule of law!
