The Future of Oil, Energy, and Journalism in Canada

You don't have to work in oil and gas or journalism to know big changes are coming. Whether you're talking about a net-zero plan including emissions caps in the oil sands or big tech killing media outlets, disruption is all around us. 

11:50 | Linda Solomon Wood is the founder and publisher of Canada's National Observer. She lays out how the media landscape has changed over the past 20 years, why Meta, Facebook, Google, and Twitter present such a threat, and what she thinks the feds should do to save journalism in Canada.

33:50 | What's Hon. Steven Guilbeault's message for Premiers Danielle Smith and Scott Moe, who've attacked the federal government's net-zero plan? What would he say to Conservative MP Mike Lake, who ripped the plan on Tuesday's Real Talk? Canada's Minister of Environment and Climate Change joins us from Calgary just hours ahead of his meeting with Alberta Environment Minister Rebecca Schulz. 

57:55 | Are you an angler? There's an exciting new opportunity in Jasper! We're hooked on the idea of a day on the water with the guides at Jasper Park Fishing. Get details in this week's edition of #MyJasper Memories presented by Tourism Jasper.
