GROUP CHAT ROUND TABLE: "Don't Call Me A C*nt!"

Sarah Hamilton's tipping point into politics was a behind-the-scenes bully who called her one of the nastiest names going. The Edmonton city councillor tells us the story (6:35) in one of our most candid Real Talk Round Tables in a long time, recognizing three members of the 2024 Edify Top 40 Under 40.  2:16 | Jespo's favourite group chat gets together for its annual holiday Real Talk Round Table. Sarah Hamilton, Harman Kandola, and Jarrett Campbell take on the top stories, including Rachel Notley's retirement, Kevin O'Leary's proposed $70B Wonder Valley data centre (26:15), Edmonton's Mayoral race (34:00), the intersection of business and politics with cameos from group chat members Jenny Adams and Katherine O'Neill (42:45), the senseless murder of security guard Harshandeep Singh (48:50), and the healthcare CEO murder in NYC (59:49).  1:12:00 | Tammy's got Taylor Swift's back, John says Donald Trump and Danielle Smith better check themselves, and Anne says Poilievre and Trudeau need to grow backbones.
