Inside the escalating fight over Alberta separatism and political culture
About this episode
The episode discusses the escalating controversy surrounding Alberta's separatist petition and its implications for political culture in the region.
Amber Ruddy and Keith McLaughlin say the latest controversy surrounding Alberta’s separatist petition is rapidly escalating beyond a simple referendum debate, particularly after the alleged voter-list breach and doxxing of former premier Jason Kenney. Speaking with Alberta Edge host Falice Chin, Ruddy argued the episode undermines the separatist movement’s credibility, while McLaughlin warned the turmoil could deepen divisions inside the UCP. Despite the tensions, both pointed to unusual alliances emerging across the political spectrum in defence of a united Canada. This podcast is generously supported by Don Archibald.
