Rob Breakenridge joins Shane Hewitt to unpack the Prime Minister’s recent speech — and its ripple effects across the Prairies. The conversation explores what the rare mention of oil reveals about the government’s shifting priorities, the urgency of economic diversification, and the pressures facing young Canadians entering an uncertain economy.

They also examine Alberta’s evolving political scene, from municipal elections to Calgary’s shifting tone, and what these changes signal for the country’s broader direction. A grounded, insightful look at where Canadian politics meets everyday life.
