Controversial Trapping Contest Targets Wolves

Real Talk Ryan Jespersen

How do you feel about trapping? Have you thought about it much at all? There's a long history of trapping across the country, including Indigenous traditions and traders. An apex predator conservation group is trying to stop a trapping contest targeting wolves in Alberta. We wrestle with a few important questions in this episode of Real Talk.

4:30 | Kim Odlan, co-founder of Exposed Wildlife Conservancy, tells us why he opposes the Top Wolf Contest, while Real Talkers have their say in our YouTube Live Chat. (Talk about a diverse audience!)

47:00 | We've got our Eye on Alberta Business. Shauna Feth is just back from Halifax, where Alberta had a big showing at the Canadian Chambers of Commerce AGM. The president and CEO of the Alberta Chamber of Commerce gets into some national business headlines before taking a look at the business implications of Fall Session at the Alberta Legislature.
