PODCAST: Premier's Pipeline Plan; Imperial Layoffs; Alberta Next Controversy; "The Road Between Us"
Description
In this episode of the Rob Breakenridge Show, we re-cap the dramatic week that was on the energy front. We had Alberta’s premier touting a new plan to get the ball rolling on a major new pipeline to the west coast. Just days earlier, though, word of massive layoffs at Imperial Oil, including the loss of almost 900 jobs in Calgary. We delve into all of that in a conversation with energy journalist and Energi Media CEO Markham Hislop.
We’ll also look at the controversy that emerged in the final in-person town hall meeting of the Alberta Next panel, where the panel’s moderator offered a harsh response to a 17-year-old who was trying to ask a question about the teacher’s strike. Why the hostility, and what does this tell us about the political objectives of the Alberta Next process?
Plus, we’ll speak with the Barry Avrich and Mark Selby, director & producer of the documentary “The Road Between Us: The Ultimate Rescue,” which has its nation-wide release Friday. The film tells the story of a desperate and dramatic rescue amid the terror attacks on Israel on October 7, 2023. The film caused quite a stir at the Toronto International Film Festival where it was briefly pulled by festival organizers before being reinstated and ultimately winning the People’s Choice Award.
