Kevin interviews Dr. Gary Davidson, lead author on the Final Report of the Alberta Covid Pandemic Data Review Task Force. They discuss the criticism of the Report, and what Dr. Davidson believes should be the next steps following the report’s release. Dr. Davidson would like to see a full, formal inquiry where critics and supporters alike can put their evidence on the record. This would help Alberta craft a proper emergency response plan. The province did have an emergency response plan prior to Covid, but that was chucked out in favour of lockdowns, mandatory masking and vaccinations. In the second half of the show, John Carpay looks at an open letter from academics to Premier Danielle Smith calling for the government to disregard Dr. Davidson's report completely.

John Carpay discusses a double standard he sees in the application of the law. He cites the case of Derek Reimer, a Calgary pastor who has been convicted of causing a disturbance after protesting drag queen story hours at public libraries. John points out numerous cases of protests that caused disturbances, many in front of police, where no one is ever charged. We then focus on petitions. Do they do any good? Then we talk about the controversial Court Challenges Program. Finally, we look at a new study showing that children in this post-Covid era are having difficulty paying attention in school.

John Carpay starts off by reading an interesting X post asserting that wokeism is not dead, despite all the commentary that the ideology is on the way out. Then, he points to a news story about the 15,000+ Canadians who died last year while on healthcare waiting lists. Finally, we discuss a 13-minute political attack ad, paid for by the City of Pickering, that goes after one of their own, City Councillor Lisa Robinson.
