How grievance politics is shaping Alberta’s referendum season

Amber Ruddy and Keith McLaughlin join Alberta Edge to debate whether the province’s two main Tory leaders are successfully calming separatist tensions. Premier Danielle Smith, who leads Alberta’s UCP, and Pierre Poilievre, leader of the federal Conservatives, are arguably on the same federalist side—but are taking different approaches to handling grievance politics. The conversation also touches on the pipeline MOU, internal UCP tensions, First Nations backlash, and the increasingly volatile political atmosphere surrounding Alberta’s referendum season. This podcast is generously supported by Don Archibald.
