About the Episode

Danielle Smith announced her new COVID Inquiry Chair, and it’s a figure well known in Alberta Politics, Preston Manning! But there’s some very important questions about Prestons payday and the kind of bias that he’s potentially bringing to the inquiry.

Also, on Thursday, yet another scandal broke in regards to the Smith government potentially trying to influence the independent Crown Prosecutors Office when CBC broke another story. This comes on the heels of Smith trying to walk back multiple comments where she has said that she herself had contacted the Crown Prosecutors office. And of course, strategist and politico Sarah Biggs joins us to try and make some sense of it all!
