Smith Must End Separation Talk After Data Leak

A massive data breach exposing the personal information of nearly three million Alberta voters is now fuelling political chaos, finger-pointing, and serious questions about public trust. Journalist Jen Gerson (7:00) argues the scandal has fundamentally undermined both Elections Alberta and the legitimacy of any push toward a separation referendum. She joins us in our feature interview presented by Mercedes-Benz Edmonton West to explain why (and how) she believes Premier Danielle Smith should seize this moment.
