In episode 5 of The Worker Agenda, host Omar Mouallem joins AFL President Gil McGowan and Secretary-Treasurer Cori Longo for a look back at the May 29th Day of Protest and to examine the upcoming Alberta Referendum, explaining what’s at stake for working people. They discuss the risks separation could pose to jobs, wages, pensions and public services, challenge the referendum’s questions and process, and explain why they’re urging Albertans to vote, protest and organize to protect their future within Canada.

What does it mean to be Canadian when Quebec is debating sovereignty, Alberta is heading toward a referendum, and a trade war with the United States is forcing us to rethink our relationship with our biggest neighbour? Veteran journalist and author Carol Off (7:15) joins us to discuss her new book, True Patriot Love, and what decades of reporting on Canada, conflict, sovereignty, and the U.S. have taught her about the country we call home. Later in the show, Canada's best crime reporter, Jana Pruden, takes us into the shocking Regina Police story (1:02:15) that inspired the new season of the podcast In Her Defence: Breach of Trust. Real Talk's feature interviews are presented by Mercedes-Benz Edmonton West.

An unelected, unappointed delegation of Alberta separatists offered up Alberta's oil royalties and fresh water in exchange for American support, per an explosive investigative report in The Globe and Mail. Jespo gets into it with Supriya Dwivedi (7:30) in our feature interview presented by Mercedes-Benz Edmonton West. We look at what's at stake in Quebec's provincial election (32:00), the likelihood of the Pacific Link pipeline getting built (45:00), and B.C. NDP leader David Eby's plan to increase taxes paid by millionaires (59:00).

Is "national interest" being confused with "approved"? Just because PM Mark Carney and Premier Danielle Smith announced the Pacific Link pipeline as Canada's first project designated in the national interest doesn't mean shovels are in the ground today. Would this project be where it is without a looming separation referendum in Alberta? Energy Minister Tim Hodgson lays out the feds' position in our feature interview (7:30) presented by Mercedes-Benz Edmonton West. Then, Jespo's got an exclusive with former Edmonton mayor, provincial health minister, and Alberta Party leader Stephen Mandel (50:30), who shares the story behind his "shithole" comment targeting the city's downtown.

A proposed Alberta-to-West Coast pipeline is now a project of national interest, with Ottawa and Alberta planning to share ownership of the $35-44B Pacific Link project. The proposed line would carry up to one million barrels of oil a day to the coast, opening access to more international markets. The next step is a federal review focused on ownership, Indigenous rights, and environmental protections, with construction targeted for 2032. Jespo opens the show with a look at what we know at this point, and what it means for Alberta and the rest of Canada. This episode's opening remarks are presented by Mercedes-Benz Edmonton West.
