Due to our media access being arbitrarily revoked by Chief Dale McFee of the Edmonton Police Service the Progress Report has filed a discreditable conduct against Chief McFee with the Edmonton Police Commission. 

Jason Kenney has been on a big PR blitz for charter schools after allocating nearly $75 million to them in the last budget. But what are they? And why do conservatives love them so much? Wing Li from SOS Alberta joins us to discuss how charter school advocates in Alberta are copying a playbook developed in the US to destroy public education.
