OM DENNE EPISODE
Is "national interest" being confused with "approved"? Just because PM Mark Carney and Premier Danielle Smith announced the Pacific Link pipeline as Canada's first project designated in the national interest doesn't mean shovels are in the ground today. Would this project be where it is without a looming separation referendum in Alberta? Energy Minister Tim Hodgson lays out the feds' position in our feature interview (7:30) presented by Mercedes-Benz Edmonton West. Then, Jespo's got an exclusive with former Edmonton mayor, provincial health minister, and Alberta Party leader Stephen Mandel (50:30), who shares the story behind his "shithole" comment targeting the city's downtown.
