When something ridiculous or scandalous happens in Edmonton, where I live, I make a point of calling attention to it, perhaps out of a misguided sense of professional honour. The city has now come to nationwide and even international attention for a reason that hits particularly close. A few days before Christmas, a 44-year-old man in good general health, Prashant Sreekumar, turned up at the Grey Nuns hospital with terrible chest pains that had begun at work. Read More

Over the holidays, we’re looking back at some of the best episodes of 2025. Self-defence laws are back in the news, with the Alberta government recently directing Crown prosecutors to refrain from charging people for using force in “defending themselves and their loved ones.” Yet police suggest that if you face a violent home invasion, you need to give up and not fight back.

In this episode, Friedman and Lilley discussed why the message cops keep sending risks making innocent people into defenceless targets while encouraging criminals to become fearless. (Originally recorded Sept. 5, 2025.) Read More
