The Economic Case Against Separation // Farm Talk with Jeff Nonay
About this episode
The episode discusses the economic implications of Alberta's potential separation from Canada and features interviews with economist Jim Stanford and farmer Jeff Nonay.
What would Alberta separation actually cost...and who would pay the price? Economist Jim Stanford joins us (5:00) to break down the enormous economic risks of leaving Canada, from trade and debt to pensions, investment and the cost of building a new country. Plus, are Alberta’s workers getting a raw deal from an economy that generates enormous wealth without delivering comparable gains in wages and living standards? We get into it in our feature interview presented by Mercedes-Benz Edmonton West. THIS EPISODE IS PRESENTED BY HANSEN DISTILLERY.
