PODCAST: Why Alberta Needs to Lead, Not Leave

In this episode of the Rob Breakenridge Show, the debate around Alberta’s future is heating up amid the official announcement of the October 19th referendum.We’ll be joined by Ken Boessenkool, who’s one of the founders of a new group called Lead Not Leave, which also includes former Alberta finance ministers Jim Dinning and Travis Toews. Their goal is to make the case for keeping the province in Confederation, while at the same time advancing ideas to strengthen both Alberta and Canada. They argue that separation is not a solution.Plus, a new study from the Montreal Economic Institute examines the evidence for government-run grocery stores - an idea that seems to be catching on in both Canada and the United States. The study concludes, though, that such an approach won’t address the problem of high food prices, and will create other problems along the way. We’ll hear from study author and MEI senior fellow Charles Lammam. Get full access to Rob Breakenridge at robbreakenridge.substack.com/subscribe
