Canada’s On Fire: Yellowknife & Kelowna Evacuated

Real Talk Ryan Jespersen

Tens of thousands of Canadians have fled their homes as wildfires destroy Kelowna and threaten Yellowknife.

3:50 | Kelowna is burning as Ryan and Johnny record this episode. They begin with a couple personal angles on the Kelowna fire, including a friend who lost everything overnight.

21:15 | Real Talkers have responded in a BIG way to yesterday's feature on Alberta's skyrocketing electricity prices. Ryan reads a bunch of your Twitter comments and takes a look at the barbs being tossed between Premier Danielle Smith and federal Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault.

35:40 | Real Talkers Thesco and Brock chime in on our interview with Tristin Hopper about Jordan Peterson, Joe Rogan, and Pierre Poilievre.

41:50 | NWT Minister of Environment and Climate Change Shane Thompson, also the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs, joins Ryan a couple hours before Yellowknife's mandatory evacuation deadline.

52:50 | Real Talker Christine responds to our August 17 interview with Dr. Toor by sharing a journal entry she wrote after asking her doctor for a birth control prescription in 1979.

56:20 | Brad's pissed at Ryan's comment about incels, Kathy's pissed off at a bunch of politicians, and Michael's pissed off at the idea of moving the Grey Cup to Thanksgiving weekend. It's another rowdy edition of Trash Talk presented by Local Environmental Services!
