Welcome to this episode of the Rob Breakenridge Show

We kick things off with a conversation with former Alberta MLA and deputy premier Thomas Lukaszuk. His group Forever Canadian has the green light from Elections Alberta to begin collecting signatures on their referendum petition, aimed at beating the separatists to the punch.

This week also brought us a major foreign policy shift for Canada. Prime Minister Mark Carney has announced that Canada will follow the lead of France and the UK and officially recognize a Palestinian state. We’ll be joined by Stacey Leavitt Wright, she is CEO of the Jewish Federation of Edmonton.

Plus, new data shows a massive backlog of airline passenger complaints at the Canadian Transportation Agency. We’ll hear from Dr. Gabor Lukacs, founder and president of Air Passenger Rights.
