Elections Alberta issues nearly 600 cease and desist letters to individuals who accessed Alberta's electors list without authorization. The fallout is intensifying scrutiny on actors linked to Alberta separatist circles and how voter data is being used nefariously. We get into the story (46:00) with an all-star panel of award-winning journalists - Amber Bracken, Jana Pruden, and Danielle Paradis - in our feature interview presented by Mercedes-Benz Edmonton West.

6:00 | Amber kicks off our Real Talk Round Table with an update on her (and The Narwhal's) lawsuit against the RCMP. We discuss the challenges journalists face today, and whether or not the industry should require a professional designation. We tackle the Alberta voter data breach (46:00), Jana's coverage of the Regina Police (Robert Semenchuk) privacy breach (51:00) and discuss Alberta separatists doxxing former premiers Jason Kenney and Rachel Notley. Jana helps us understand why sexual assault charges were stayed against disgraced spiritual leader John deRuiter (56:30). 

1:04:30 | Amber tells us what she plans to accomplish as a 2027 Nieman Fellow at Harvard University. Dani shines a light on efforts to remove Indigenous land claims through Alberta sovereignty (1:10:00). We touch on plans to demolish Tumbler Ridge Secondary School, site of one of Canada's deadliest mass shootings (1:14:45).

Just when you thought the Alberta voter data leak story couldn't get any crazier, we find out the UCP president and a senior staffer are connected to the story, and the group in question - the Centurion Project - publicly doxxed former Alberta premier Jason Kenney. We hit the story head-on with National Post's Rahim Mohamed (10:30) in our feature interview presented by Mercedes-Benz Edmonton West. Stick around as Real Talkers (and Jespo) sound off (1:15:00).

A massive data breach exposing the personal information of nearly three million Alberta voters is now fuelling political chaos, finger-pointing, and serious questions about public trust. Journalist Jen Gerson (7:00) argues the scandal has fundamentally undermined both Elections Alberta and the legitimacy of any push toward a separation referendum. She joins us in our feature interview presented by Mercedes-Benz Edmonton West to explain why (and how) she believes Premier Danielle Smith should seize this moment.

Millions of Albertans have been betrayed by bad actors fighting for separation. A major data breach involving Alberta’s voter registry is raising serious questions about privacy, security, and political extremism. Reports suggest a separatist group may have accessed and distributed sensitive personal information, potentially putting thousands of Albertans at risk. How did this happen, who’s responsible, and what are the consequences for public trust in our democracy? We break it down with Supriya Dwivedi (4:30) in our feature interview presented by Mercedes-Benz Edmonton West.

Seven years ago, Jespo publicly banned John Carpay from appearing on his terrestrial radio show after the two locked horns over COVID restrictions. This episode, Jespersen and Carpay reconvene in our feature interview (3:00) presented by Mercedes-Benz Edmonton West. The two look back on that polarizing pandemic and debate some of Canada's most controversial legislation including the so-called Peterson's Law protecting free speech for professionals and the UCP's Bill 25 removing "bias and ideology" from classrooms.

Mark Carney’s Liberals are pouring billions into skilled trades, aiming to train up to 100,000 workers to tackle housing, infrastructure, and major resource projects. The pitch? Build Canada stronger, faster — and less dependent on the United States. We dig into the Spring Economic Update (including Canada's first national sovereign wealth fund) with Heather Thomson from the Edmonton Chamber of Commerce (3:00) in our feature interview presented by Mercedes-Benz Edmonton West.
