About this episode

Ryan Jespersen and civil liberties lawyer John Carpay discuss controversial legislation and recent polling trends in Alberta politics.

Seven years ago, Jespo publicly banned John Carpay from appearing on his terrestrial radio show after the two locked horns over COVID restrictions. This episode, Jespersen and Carpay reconvene in our feature interview (3:00) presented by Mercedes-Benz Edmonton West. The two look back on that polarizing pandemic and debate some of Canada's most controversial legislation including the so-called Peterson's Law protecting free speech for professionals and the UCP's Bill 25 removing "bias and ideology" from classrooms.
