August 29, 2022 - Deputy PM Freeland Accosted in Alberta; Popular Agri-Tourism Business Shut Down

0:54 | What an absolute embarrassment for Alberta. By now, you've likely seen Deputy PM Chrystia Freeland being verbally accosted by a goon in the lobby of Grande Prairie City Hall. Ryan kicks off the show reviewing video of the incident, and focusing what high-profile politicians are (and aren't) saying.

12:02 | "This is not our Grande Prairie," says Mayor Jackie Clayton...but is that accurate? Her Worship tells us what the first few minutes after the encounter were like, and how she plans to manage the damage to her region's reputation.

33:37 | Real Talkers have a lot to say about what happened in Grande Prairie, and the bigger picture of hate, vitriol, and violence in politics and elsewhere. Ryan reads a couple powerful emails sent to talk@ryanjespersen.com. 

45:24 | Alanna Hnatiw has seen her fair share of poisonous politics. The Sturgeon County Mayor shares her thoughts on the Grande Prairie incident, then takes our questions about the Prairie Gardens controversy. The popular agri-tourism business was recently shut down by the County...but why? We go beyond the headlines to get the real story behind what led to the closure. We wrap with the Mayor's take on the potential of hydrogen (and other energy industry activities) in the area.
