The politics of Just Transition in Alberta

The notion of the Trudeau government’s Just Transition legislation has created fears in Alberta that the feds are coming for oil jobs. This, in turn, has sparked outrage from politicians on the left and the right, with Premier Danielle Smith leading the charge against legislation, which has yet to be unveiled. National Post reporter, and producer of this podcast, Tyler Dawson joins the show to discuss the political outrage over Just Transition in Alberta, why Danielle Smith has taken a slightly less combative tone with the prime minister, and how the issue could factor into the upcoming Alberta election.
