AB Referendum "Meant To Divide" // Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne
About this episode
The episode discusses Alberta's referendum and features an interview with Canada's Minister of Finance François-Philippe Champagne.
Alberta’s Oct. 19 referendum isn’t just about separation. There are 10 questions on the ballot, including five that target immigrants and raise serious questions about access to health care, education and social supports. We're joined by former Alberta premier Rachel Notley, former Edmonton mayor Don Iveson, former St. Albert mayor Cathy Heron, lawyer Avnish Nanda (4:25), and former Lethbridge mayor Chris Spearman (1:07:00) for Real Talk about what these questions are really about, and what they say about the politics shaping Alberta right now. Plus, Canada's Minister of Finance François-Philippe Champagne goes one-on-one with Ryan (43:30) in our feature interview presented by Mercedes-Benz Edmonton West to recap last week's G20 summit in North Carolina, his ongoing conversations with Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, and what Canadians told him through recent pre-budget consultations.
