"Trauma you can't put into words."
Why do so many military veterans carry their experiences in silence? Author Ted Barris explains the trauma that makes some stories almost impossible to tell, & why creating the space to share those experiences matters. #LestWeForget #RealTalkRJ
Captain Jonathan Snyder was just 26 when he was killed serving Canada in Afghanistan. His courage and leadership are honoured in a new Heritage Minute, filmed at CFB Wainwright just months before a devastating wildfire killed four soldiers and injured dozens more. #LestWeForget

It's hard to imagine Pierre Poilievre finding another wave to ride. His smug, sarcastic routine just doesn't land the same without a flailing Justin Trudeau to rail against. If by-election losses start piling up, Conservatives would be wise to start asking, "Who's next?" #cdnpoli
As Canadians reassess their relationship with the U.S., should Conservatives be reconsidering their leader?
Would someone other than Pierre Poilievre give the #CPC a better chance of winning the next election? @supriyadwivedi says yes. Do you agree? #cdnpoli #RealTalkRJ
It's been a week since most of Western Canada stopped changing the clocks. How's everyone feeling? More importantly, how are our bodies handling it?

Donald Trump may have been joking about making UFC CEO Dana White his next White House press secretary, but @supriyadwivedi says there’s nothing funny about what Trump might do next. Do you feel the same way?

Mark Carney’s second budget as PM aims to make Canada more productive, more competitive, and less dependent on the United States. Will it deliver?
We check in with @BizCouncilAB Chief Economist Mike Holden... #cdnpoli #budget #RealTalkRJ

Will the federal budget meaningfully help Canadians struggling to make ends meet? Senator @charlesadler wonders how much responsibility Ottawa should take for people like his hypothetical Mrs. Wilson's financial well-being. Do you agree or disagree with him? #cdnpoli
ICYMI, here's Senator @charlesadler on the federal budget, U.S. Midterms, and the Alberta referendum results: rtrj.info/110626Adler #cdnpoli #RealTalkRJ
Looking forward to guesting @RealTalkRJ this morning at 8:30 in Alberta, 9:30 Eastern/Central. @ryanjespersen has been bringing out the best in me for decades. Why? Because I trust him.
Democrats may have taken control of the House & Senate, but that doesn't mean the Canada-U.S. trade war is over. President Trump (or his successor) could take the tariffs even further.
