Summary

Josh Andrus fills in for Marty this week as he breaks down the Montreal gunman’s ties to the University of Lethbridge and what it says about campus culture in Alberta, Searle Turton’s federalist comments, the Alberta-Ottawa MOU, Mike Derry’s campaign, and the cancellation of Country Thunder. He also weighs in on Alberta’s $100 natural gas rebate and whether Mark Carney has cursed Canada’s World Cup run.
