Rudyard and Andrew talk about this week's memorandum of understanding between Ottawa and Alberta that would provide premiere Danielle Smith with the approval to build a pipeline from Alberta, through BC, to western shores. Are more pipelines needed right now? And what about the country's commitment to lowering carbon emissions? Rudyard and Andrew engage in a debate on climate change and carbon taxes. In the second half of the show they turn to a leaked memo about the Alberta government's plan to allow physicians to practise in a mixed system and provide private care to patients willing to pay more. Will this help reform health care in Canada? Andrew argues that while there is room for private care, governments need to address the real problem here and move doctors away from fee for service.
