Carol Off: What Does It Mean to Love Canada? // Jana Pruden: Police Breach of Trust

What does it mean to be Canadian when Quebec is debating sovereignty, Alberta is heading toward a referendum, and a trade war with the United States is forcing us to rethink our relationship with our biggest neighbour? Veteran journalist and author Carol Off (7:15) joins us to discuss her new book, True Patriot Love, and what decades of reporting on Canada, conflict, sovereignty, and the U.S. have taught her about the country we call home. Later in the show, Canada's best crime reporter, Jana Pruden, takes us into the shocking Regina Police story (1:02:15) that inspired the new season of the podcast In Her Defence: Breach of Trust. Real Talk's feature interviews are presented by Mercedes-Benz Edmonton West.
