Seance at Lougheed Manor

from Unpacking the News Hosted by Andre Goulet

On a super spooky summer vacation episode of 'Unpacking the News', prepare to gasp in terror as host Andre Goulet and Joel Laforest of 'The Alberta Advantage' podcast commune with the ghost of the late, legendary Peter Lougheed (PC Premier, 1971-1985)! How did the pair gain access to the late ex-Premier's haunted house of horror in Edmonton's tony Glenora neighbourhood? What are the '6 Principles'? And who needs a 9-bed 5-bath mansion anyways? Prepare to shudder in fear as Lougheed explains why, through the medium of a simple ouija board (and in contrast to contemporary trends in conservative politics), his legacy for the province is a radical one.

This conversation was recorded on June 29th, 2019.
