251121 Chris and Dr. Jim McMurtry

Chris Scott sits down with Dr. Jim McMurtry, an educator and researcher known for tackling the issues most people tiptoe around in Canada’s school system. Together they dig into the state of education, academic independence, and the growing tension between truth, ideology, and the classroom.
Dr. McMurtry shares insights from his career, his experiences challenging institutional narratives, and his perspective on what students actually need to thrive in a country that seems determined to make honest conversation difficult.
This is a thoughtful, candid discussion for anyone who cares about education, free expression, and the future of Alberta and Canada’s young people.
