Can Cities Separate from Alberta? (Seriously.)

About this episode

The episode discusses the possibility of cities in Alberta gaining independence from the province amid rising separatist sentiments.

If Alberta can talk about leaving Canada, can cities talk about leaving Alberta? That's the question Edmonton councillor Aaron Paquette is putting on the table with a motion exploring ways municipalities could gain more independence from the province amid growing uncertainty around Alberta's separatist movement. Paquette joins Vegreville councillor Taneen Rudyk and political scientist Dr. Duane Bratt in our feature interview (4:30) presented by Mercedes-Benz Edmonton West.
