Real Talk Ryan Jespersen

Strength in numbers. That's Pierre Poilievre's call to the provinces as a nation-wide alternative to Alberta separation. Will Quebec play along? We get into an advance copy of Poilievre's speech (14:00) with Supriya Dwivedi in our feature interview presented by Mercedes-Benz Edmonton West. But first...what will come from Alberta Premier Danielle Smith's meeting with Quebec Premier Christine Fréchette (9:00)? And later...what's the key takeaway from new Ipsos polling (17:30) showing waning support for Alberta leaving Canada?

If Alberta can talk about leaving Canada, can cities talk about leaving Alberta? That's the question Edmonton councillor Aaron Paquette is putting on the table with a motion exploring ways municipalities could gain more independence from the province amid growing uncertainty around Alberta's separatist movement. Paquette joins Vegreville councillor Taneen Rudyk and political scientist Dr. Duane Bratt in our feature interview (4:30) presented by Mercedes-Benz Edmonton West.

Canadian ranchers are warning Ottawa not to sacrifice domestic beef producers in ongoing trade talks with Mercosur, the South American bloc including Brazil and Argentina. At the same time, Canadian consumers are facing stubbornly high grocery prices, especially at the meat counter, raising major questions about imports, food security, trade policy, and Canada’s economic relationship with the United States ahead of a crucial CUSMA review. Tyler Fulton, president of the Canadian Cattle Association, joins from Manitoba in our feature interview (14:00) presented by Mercedes-Benz Edmonton West to talk about the future of Canada’s beef industry, rising costs, trade tensions, and why producers say this moment could shape the industry for years to come.
But first...Johnny's just hours removed from serving as music director for the FIFA World Cup '26 Lead-Up Friendly between Canada and Uzbekistan at Commonwealth Stadium. The fellas chat (1:45) about the upcoming World Cup and the growth of Canadian soccer.
