About this episode

Prominent firearms lawyer Ian Runkle says Prime Minister Mark Carney lied to us about the government's gun buyback program. In this episode, we welcome the host of the popular "Runkle of the Bailey" YouTube channel (39:00) to clarify where he says the PM isn't shooting straight. 

5:00 | But first...new polling shows one horse pulling away from all the others in the race to be Calgary's next mayor. 338 Canada's Philippe Fournier lays out how mayoral campaigns are resonating with voters in Calgary and Edmonton. We get into national polling on Mark Carney's minority government, Pierre Poilievre ahead of a January leadership review, and how Canadians feel about our future relationship with the United States.

33:00 | Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says the province won't cooperate with the feds in any sort of firearm confiscation. Prime Minister Mark Carney says nobody's confiscating anything. We set the table for our conversation with Ian Runkle. 

39:00 | Criminal defence (and firearms) attorney Ian Runkle says the PM lied in his Real Talk interview on September 10. We get into it in our feature interview presented by Mercedes-Benz Edmonton West.
