Paul Brandt's On A Mission // Poilievre's New Video // AI Takeover

People are being trafficked in your city right now. Exploitation is happening in communities across Canada and around the world. Country star Paul Brandt has been working to end trafficking for 20 years. He tells us how it's happening and how it can be stopped (2:30) in our feature interview presented by Mercedes-Benz Edmonton West. (As you'd expect, Ryan hits the recent teachers' speech cancellation/Alberta separation story right off the top.) THIS EPISODE IS PRESENTED BY HANSEN DISTILLERY -- EDMONTON'S ORIGINAL DISTILLERY -- ROOTED IN PRAIRIE GRIT AND A REBELLIOUS SPIRIT. PROUDLY LOCAL, ALWAYS ORIGINAL.

Supreme Court's Cowichan Decision is making international headlines, and causing a huge stir over property rights. We get into both stories with journalist Arno Kopecky, who leads off by telling us about being rejected for a press pass at the recent Conservative Convention in Calgary.  FOLLOW ARNO ON IG: https://www.instagram.com/arnokopecky/ 1:12:40 | Did we just see the biggest month in AI history?
