About this episode
Hard to believe it's been 25 years since the September 11 attacks. We reflect on "the day that everything changed" with Senator Paula Simons (5:40) in our feature interview presented by Mercedes-Benz Edmonton West. Senator Simons takes us into her column for Alberta Views, where she calls out "The Noxious Nine" questions (41:40) in Alberta's "nasty" referendum.
