    Episode 6.25 - April 14, 2024 Alberta Politics Roundup!
    Apr 15 2024
    It's another Alberta Politics roundup and what a week! EMS profitization! Policing subsidization! Why is misrepresented BC drug policy playing such a big role in Alberta politics right now? We debunk a boatload of myths and we do a deep dive on Danielle Smith's Bill 18 and its attack on municipalities, post secondary education and well... pretty much everything? Don't forget, we now have merch that's available at www.abpoli.ca, including a cold weather lineup!

  • Episode 6.24 - The Alberta Physician Crisis w/ Alberta Medical Association President Dr. Paul Parks!

    Episode 6.24 - The Alberta Physician Crisis w/ Alberta Medical Association President Dr. Paul Parks!
    Apr 12 2024
    There’s a lot of conversation around the physician shortage in Alberta, but how did we go from being on of the most appealing provinces for physicians to practice in to one that is struggling to even fill residencies? To get some answers, we sat down with President of the Alberta Medical Association, Dr Paul Parks! But we don’t stop at the physician crisis, we also get into the literal disintegration of healthcare in Alberta, the opioid crisis and we revisit the legendary December 10, 2023 press conference and vaccinations! Don't forget, we now have merch that's available at www.abpoli.ca, including a cold weather lineup!

  • Encore Episode - Harm Reduction with Guy Fellicella!

    Encore Episode - Harm Reduction with Guy Fellicella!
    Apr 8 2024
    With incredible advocate Guy Felicella being banned from attending a recovery conference in Calgary this week, we figured it was time for a throwback to our episode originally aired on August 28, 2023! We are SO excited to present our conversation, with survivor, advocate and all around amazing person Guy Felicella! This is one of the most intense episodes we've done yet, and it's an absolute must watch/listen! Guy Felicella grew up in a middle-class home in British Columbia but due to trauma, undiagnosed ADHD and difficulty at home and school, he fell into addiction at a young age. Guy spent 30 years in the repeated cycle of gangs, addiction, treatment, and jail. He spent nearly twenty years residing in a two-block radius in Vancouver's notorious Downtown Eastside. Miraculously, with sheer determination and the help of others through harm reduction and recovery, Guy managed to survive the HIV/AIDS crisis in the DTES, two decades of being homeless, multiple life-threatening bone infections, and six drug overdoses.
