Alberta Report

On this episode of the Marty Up North Show, Marty weighs in on the supposed $400-billion startup cost for Alberta Independence. He breaks down the new referendum question, Premier Danielle Smith’s visit to Quebec, oil and gas returning to the national conversation, new Alberta IDs, Canada’s “technical” recession, Carney’s reversal on online streaming rules, changes to Bill C-9, Canada Post’s strike resolution, and Kerry-Lynne Findlay’s win as BC Conservative leader.

Marty breaks down the political tightrope facing Danielle Smith as Alberta’s referendum debate intensifies, with Mark Carney calling the separation question a “dangerous bluff.” He also looks at Steven Guilbeault’s resignation, federal cabinet cracks, tensions at the Western Premiers’ meeting, the Kenney-Wilson debate, and the fifth anniversary of the Kamloops residential school claims.
