Episode notes

What can we expect to see from Premier Danielle Smith, Rachel Notley (and the Alberta NDP), and Justin Trudeau vs. Pierre Poilievre? Find out from Bad + Bitchy podcast hosts Erica Ifill and Kristin Raworth in this crossover episode of Real Talk.

3:40 | But first...is Taylor Swift's boyfriend really a Nazi sympathizer?

9:30 | Erica, born and raised in Edmonton, now calls Ottawa home. She says national coverage of Alberta's election fell short. Is that a CBC issue, or something bigger?

13:00 | What should we expect to see from Premier Danielle Smith and her UCP government?

26:10 | How about Rachel Notley? What might her future look like, and could it include a run at the federal NDP leadership?

42:35 | Will Danielle Smith survive a rumoured coup within her caucus? Can she outlast Jason Kenney, Jim Prentice, Dave Hancock, Alison Redford, and Ed Stelmach, and actually complete a full term?

44:15 | We turn our attention to federal politics, and get Erica and Kristin's take on the Liberal affordable housing plan, the future of $10/day childcare, and more.

52:00 | Did Pierre Poilievre cross the line with a blast aimed at PM Justin Trudeau in the House yesterday? Kristin explains why she's so turned off by the comment, and Erica chimes in on "unserious" people.

1:05:40 | It's the first edition of Trash Talk since the Alberta election, and Real Talkers have a lot to say! Ryan busts out the flame thrower and gets into the hottest takes submitted to talk@ryanjespersen.com. Trash Talk is presented by our friends at Local Environmental Services.
