Keith Wilson & Tanya Clemens: Alberta’s Exit Plan

Danielle Smith has a choice to make. Either (continue to) placate separatists within her party under threat of a hostile takeover, or take the UCP back. That could involve the nuclear option of revoking a number of party memberships. What's the smartest play, and what does it mean for UCP members and Albertans in general? We break it down with Erika Barootes and Melissa Caouette (7:00) in our feature interview presented by Mercedes-Benz Edmonton West.  THIS EPISODE IS PRESENTED BY RAPIDEX FINANCIAL, WHO IS GIVING YOU $25 WORTH OF BITCOIN, FREE AND CLEAR.

Albertans have spoken, and the message is clear: separation is not the future they want for this province. With roughly 76 per cent voting against moving toward separation, the October 19 referendum has delivered a decisive rejection of the separatist project. That said, the questions, frustrations, and political divisions won't simply disappear. What happens next matters enormously, not just for Alberta's relationship with Ottawa, but for the future of Canada itself. We get into it with political scientist Dr. Duane Bratt (11:30) and Max Fawcett, lead columnist at Canada's National Observer (39:00), in feature interviews presented by Mercedes-Benz Edmonton West.  THIS EPISODE IS PRESENTED BY HANSEN DISTILLERY.
