In politics, is it possible to win and lose at the same time? You might describe the Alberta NDP's 2023 campaign in such a way. Rachel Notley's party lost the election, but there were gains in popular support, seats, fundraising, and overall momentum. How much of that actually matters? What's the right move for Notley and the party moving forward?

3:50 | Max Fawcett says Rachel Notley's NDP needs to finish the job. The lead columnist for Canada's National Observer explains where the NDP campaign got it right and where it failed. Max and Ryan discuss whether or not Notley should stick around for another election, how Premier-elect Danielle Smith is likely to govern, and what the future of federal politics looks like.

This special episode peels back the curtain on a chapter of life that impacts every woman but still too often gets ignored or misunderstood. Menopause advocate Jesse Schewchuk joins us (2:50) to talk about the raw, real, and often isolating experience of perimenopause and menopause—and why breaking the silence could be life-changing. This conversation is about more than hot flashes and hormone shifts—it’s about dignity, identity, and the right to be heard. If you love someone going through it, or you're in it yourself, this one’s for you.

Your car insurance is about to get a whole lot more expensive. With no mandate to do so, Alberta's government plans to transition to a no-fault auto insurance system by January 2027.

But here's the thing...nobody believes that's going to happen. 5:30 | We get into the numbers with Nik Nanos from Nanos Research and Jenny McCordie from the Canadian Bar Association.

Premier Danielle Smith says her Canada includes Alberta...but she'll trigger a referendum question on separation if enough Albertans petition her to do so. This, just days after her UCP government made it (much) easier to do exactly that. Meantime, as Alberta sovereigntists grow louder after Mark Carney's election win, First Nations leaders are pushing back with a reminder about treaty agreements. Advocates fighting poverty, inequality, and inaction are crying foul over political stunts and distractions. Where is all of this headed?

Could Alberta ever separate from Canada? How would an NDP provincial government address Alberta's unemployment issue? Current Alberta NDP leader Naheed Nenshi joins us on the heels of the party's annual convention in Edmonton. 22:00 | Chief Billy Morin, the first Indigenous Conservative MP in Edmonton's history, talks to us about Alberta sovereignty and treaty rights, First Nations' investment in energy projects, and Pierre Poilievre's plan to seek a Commons seat via byelection in the Battle River-Crowfoot riding. 39:30 | Former Alberta premier Rachel Notley looks back ten years to one of the biggest upsets in Canadian political history, tells us how she feels about the death of the carbon tax and the return of union and corporate political donations, and tells us who she'd endorse as next leader of the federal NDP. 1:19:00 | Real Talker Brandon thought the story of Randy the Guinea Pig would make for a perfect Positive Reflection...and we agree!
