Ian Brodie on the right, and very wrong, way to engage Alberta

from Playbook Canada · host Politico

Next up in our summer series looking at the separatism movement in Alberta, Ian Brodie. The first chief of staff to former prime minister Stephen Harper weighs in on the debate dividing his province. He explains why even an 80 percent vote to remain in Canada may not be enough to quash the separatist movement without Mark Carney and Danielle Smith working to lock it down. Plus, his thoughts on Stephen Harper’s role in the campaign. And the right, and very wrong, way for federal politicians to engage with Albertans on this issue.
