Parental Rights: What Do You Deserve To Know About Your Kids?

Supporters of Alberta's new parental rights policy will say the UCP is protecting parents' right to know what's happening at school, and in their children's own lives. Critics will say Danielle Smith's UCP is putting children at risk, and doesn't care about some of our most vulnerable citizens. The policy is expected to include age limits for things like hormone therapy and "top surgery," too. In this episode, we set the table for what is likely to be a supercharged next few weeks of political and public commentary. 

10:00 | Charles Adler gives us his take on the top developing stories in the country: former Canadian World Junior Hockey players surrendering to London police to face sexual assault charges, Danielle Smith's government rolling out "parental rights" legislation in Alberta, and Canada pausing funding to a United Nations aid agency amid allegations of involvement in the October 7 attacks against Israel. 

1:07:10 | "Check the dryer"! Real Talker Lindsey sent us the most wonderful story about a new dad buying a used washer/dryer. It's perfect for Positive Reflections, presented every week on Real Talk by our friends at Kuby Renewable Energy.
