On the Trending 55 Hot Seat, we check in weekly with a member of the provincial NDP.

This week, we are catching up with Edmonton-City Centre MLA, and Health Critic, David Shepherd.

Among the topics we cover include:

  • his continued request for the government to have a public inquiry into the handling of the COVID-19 pandemic
  • how he feels some of the deaths (1,128) from opioid-related overdoses
  • the province’s handling of negotiations with its front line healthcare workers; and,
  • he gives us an update on his cat, Monty, and talks about his newest bow tie, which he wore in the legislature for the first time yesterday.
