Oil, pipelines and division

In this edition of The West Block we travel out west to Alberta to see first hand how much this province relies on the oil industry. Why do Albertans feel alienated and is the talk of separating from the rest of Canada resonating? And why is the Indigenous community so divides over the potential expansion of the Trans Mountain pipeline project which would take oil from Alberta to the west coast of British Columbia. Guests:Michelle Narang, Rocky Mountain House Councillor; Jackie Forrest, ARC Energy Institute; Richard Masson, University of Calgary; Jason Kenney, Alberta Premier; Barry Cooper, University of Calgary; Chief Judy Wilson, Union of B.C. Chiefs; Stephen Buffalo, Indian Resource Council
