November 7, 2022 - Sean Chu’s Victim Speaks Out; Chrystia Freeland and Disney+; Positive Reflections

0:28 | Finance minster Chrystia Freeland faced fire over the weekend after suggesting Canadians manage inflation by doing what her family did: cancel their subscription to Disney+. Was this a Marie Antoinette "Let them eat cake" moment, or are people overreacting? Let us know what you think.

13:20 | Disgraced Calgary councillor Sean Chu is facing new allegations and renewed calls to resign. Political scientist Dr. Duane Bratt tells us about his in-person conversations with "HH," the woman who was allegedly sexually assaulted by Chu in 1997 when he was a Calgary police officer. Who else is involved with this explosive story, and what are the potential political ramifications? 

35:29 | Were Minister Freeland's Disney+ comments tone deaf or real talk? Charles Adler gives us his gut instinct. Plus, should student loans be interest free (furthermore, should post-secondary tuition be free) in Canada? And, how important is the perception of "middle of the road" for aspiring Alberta premiers? 

1:01:24 | Remember our Net Zero Solar Contest presented by Kuby Energy? Real Talkers voted overwhelmingly to award a free solar power system to Joey's Home, a supportive housing facility managed by the Winnifred Stewart Association. This week's Positive Reflections celebrates the completion of the solar install at Joey's Home, including what it will mean for the non-profit organization long term.
