Marty breaks down Trump’s latest tariff hit on Canada, why Mexico was spared, and the calls for unity coming out of the First Ministers’ meeting in PEI. He also weighs in on Doug Ford’s latest shots at Trump, secrecy around the Gordie Howe Bridge agreement, Smith’s “fascist pancakes” controversy, inflation climbing to 2.8%, GoodLife gyms, Stats Canada’s crime numbers, and Elections Alberta opening mail-in ballots for the referendum while facing new attacks.

That's Gwyn Morgan’s blunt advice for young people watching their career plans collapse under the advance of artificial intelligence. The former EnCana president, a man who built one of North America’s largest natural-gas producers, is not known for soft talk. In this week’s Hannaford, he delivered the line with the same directness that once defined his corporate career: AI is already wiping out the need for legions of programmers.

Cory Morgan is joined by Lindsay Wilson, Nigel Hannaford and Dave Wiechnik to discuss Corus moving Alberta news production to Toronto, media trust, free speech, the “fascist pancakes” controversy, Trump’s tariff pressure, Carney’s secret bridge toll deal, and Doug Ford’s comments on using Western resources in Canada-U.S. trade talks.

Alberta must fiercely defend provincial control over its electricity system against federal proposals for a centrally organized national grid. Thus utilities economist Edgardo Sepulveda, tonight's guest on Hannaford. The Trudeau-Carney government recently released a national electricity strategy to promote the idea of shifting power flows from traditional North-South trade to what Ottawa is pitching as greater East-West integration.

Cory Morgan fills in as host with Dave Naylor and Nigel Hannaford to discuss Jeffrey Rath’s legal troubles and their impact on Alberta’s independence movement, renewed calls to cut Alberta’s health transfers, and Alberta driving nearly eight in 10 new jobs across Canada. The panel also examines Mark Carney’s unusual American COO hire, First Nations opposition to major project approvals, and Ottawa’s struggle to get big infrastructure built.
