Jan. 18, 2023 - Provorov & Pride Night; Grocery Prices in Canada; ”Just Transition” & Job Security

0:57 | Philadelphia Flyers star Ivan Provorov says his religious beliefs stopped him from participating in the warmup skate during Pride Night. Pride Tape co-founder Dr. Kristopher Wells tells us why he doesn't believe in forcing people to support Pride, and what he'd like to see the Flyers and the NHL do about this messy situation.

15:21 | Grocery prices are skyrocketing, and many Canadians are finding it tougher than ever to put healthy food on the table. Dr. Sylvain Charlebois - "the food professor" - explains what's driving prices up, who should be held accountable, and what we can expect through 2023. He also responds to a highly-critical piece on the independent platform The Orchard, questioning his past relationship with the Weston Foundation (Loblaw).

42:06 | As the Alberta and federal governments have a very public disagreement about the definition and implications of a "just transition," federal minister Randy Boissonnault sets the record straight. In addition to jobs in Alberta, Ryan and Minister Boissonnault also discuss the Ivan Provorov situation in Philadelphia, the state of air travel in Canada, and a somewhat-controversial decision to limit private vehicle access to Maligne Lake in Banff National Park.
