Boots, Boundaries, and Ballots

from The Discourse · host The Discourse

Erika Barootes and Shannon Greer break down a wild week in Western Canadian politics — the Western Premiers' Conference in Kananaskis, Alberta's "referendum on having a referendum," and Prime Minister Carney pulling the Clarity Act into the mix. The communiqué didn't mention separation. Justice Leonard's ruling dragged Premier Smith into a fight she was trying to stay out of. And Carney called it a "dangerous bluff" on Monday before reversing Tuesday. Two hosts, two perspectives, one very confusing week.
