| 2/25/26 | Why Albertans should have a say on coal policy; Alberta's volatile political landscape | In this episode of The Line: Alberta podcast, a closer look at Alberta's Year of the Referendum. Alberta Premier Danielle Smith has set October 19th as referendum day, and she has nine questions to put to Albertans on issues related to immigration and the constitution. That ballot will also include a question on separation, the premier says, if separatists are successful in their petition campaign. The premier has also indicated there could be another question added if a separate petition su... | 40m 52s | ||||||
| 2/18/26 | Pessimism Grows Among Alberta Teachers as Government Insists Help is On The Way | It's been three months since the Alberta government controversially legislated an end to a bitter teachers' strike, but have conditions in the classroom - which were key issues in the labour dispute - improved at all? The Alberta Teachers Association has released a comprehensive new survey of its members, showing widespread frustration and pessimism about the state of the province's classrooms. This comes as the Alberta government has announced its plans to try and address issues around clas... | 25m 59s | ||||||
| 2/11/26 | Record Output, Global Shifts, and Policy Uncertainty: Seizing Canada’s Energy Opportunity | Between the Alberta-Ottawa pipeline MOU and the growing push to diversify Canada's export markets, 2026 could prove to be a key year for the oil and gas industry. Still, though, there remains some uncertainty on the policy front and questions linger about whether there's enough political will and determination to make progress and really capitalize on this moment. In this episode of the Line Alberta podcast, Rob Breakenridge speaks with Tristan Goodman, president of the Explorers and Produce... | 24m 24s | ||||||
| 2/4/26 | As the fight over Alberta's future heats up, Forever Canadian pivots to campaign mode | The topic of Alberta separation has been thrust into the national spotlight, amid the ongoing petition campaign by separatists to force a referendum, and reports about possible U.S. involvement. We've heard provocative comments from Trump's treasury secretary and other Republican and MAGA figures. We've also had new reports about Alberta separatist delegations to Washington, D.C. to seek out meeting with Trump administration officials The group Forever Canadian was launched last year to eith... | 32m 14s | ||||||
| 1/28/26 | Does Trump have sights set on Alberta? Plus, challenges in finding new oil export markets | In this episode of The Line Alberta podcast, host Rob Breakenridge explores two big topics of interest right now in Alberta: why the U.S. is suddenly so interested in a possible Alberta independence referendum, and what it's going to take to meaningfully diversify the export markets for Alberta oil so that we're less reliant on the Americans. First, a conversation with National Observer columnist Max Fawcett on the current state of debate over Alberta separatism and to what extent we should ... | 51m 43s | ||||||
| 1/21/26 | The emergency in Alberta's acute care system | In this episode of The Line: Alberta podcast, host Rob Breakenridge takes a closer look at the growing concern over the state of acute care in Alberta and what many doctors are describing as a crisis in the province's emergency rooms. Calls have been mounting for the Alberta government to declare a state of emergency in acute care, and those calls have grown louder following the high-profile death of a 44-year-old man in an Edmonton ER in lace December. The man's family said he was suffering... | 33m 44s | ||||||
| 1/14/26 | What the hell happened to Calgary's water system? And who else should be worried? | In this episode of The Line: Alberta podcast, Rob Breakenridge takes a closer look at the latest water crisis in the city of Calgary following the latest catastrophic failure of a crucial water line. As Calgarians face weeks or months of water use restrictions and costly and lengthy work on the system, an independent panel (established after the last crisis, just 18 months ago) has released its findings, which are quite scathing when it comes to Calgary's oversight and management of the water... | 43m 16s | ||||||
| 12/17/25 | From UCP cabinet minister to Alberta Party leader - Peter Guthrie reflects on eventful 2025 | In this week's episode of The Line Alberta podcast, Rob Breakenridge sits down for a conversation with Airdrie-Cochrane MLA Peter Guthrie, who just recently became leader of the Alberta Party.

His calls for a public inquiry into the matter led to his expulsion from the UCP caucu... | 32m 39s | ||||||

| 12/3/25 | Alberta's historic energy deal with Ottawa / Major health reform coming to Alberta | Two big topics in this week’s episode of The Line: Alberta podcast, as Rob Breakenridge breaks down the hugely significant Alberta-Ottawa memorandum of understanding (MOU) on energy as well as Alberta’s proposed health reforms that will open the door for physicians to practice in both the public and private systems in the hopes of bringing down wait times.

| 11/19/25 | Hoisted with their own petard - why the UCP now faces a threat from their own voter recall law | In this week’s episode of The Line: Alberta Podcast, Rob Breakenridge takes a closer look at the debate over direct democracy and how opponents of the government have taken advantage of the UCP’s own voter recall and citizen initiative laws. In the aftermath of the teachers’ strike and the government’s use of the notwithstanding clause, a number of UCP MLAs are now being targeted with voter recall campaigns. The Alberta Federation of Labour has also announced its intention to try and force ... | 37m 15s | ||||||

| 11/5/25 | Why Alberta invoked the notwithstanding clause - and why organized labour is so outraged | In this week’s episode of The Line: Alberta Podcast, Rob Breakenridge takes a closer look at the debate around the notwithstanding clause and Alberta’s decision to invoke Section 33 of the Charter as part of their back-to-work legislation to end the teachers’ strike.

| 10/22/25 | Digging into the details of the new report on Alberta’s healthcare procurement scandal | In this week’s episode of The Line: Alberta Podcast, Rob Breakenridge takes a closer look at the controversy surrounding procurement at Alberta Health Services and what we learned last week with the release of a major report into the matter.

| 10/15/25 | Public dollars, private schools - does Alberta need to reconsider how it funds education? | In this week’s episode of The Line: Alberta Podcast, Rob Breakenridge takes a closer look at the debate around education funding in Alberta. The province-wide teachers’ strike has helped to illustrate some of the challenges and frustrations that have been building up in the public school system. Alberta’s population has risen rapidly in recent years, and it’s been a challenge for the system to keep up with sufficient space and teacher levels, leading to crowded classrooms and stressed out edu... | 32m 07s | ||||||
| 10/8/25 | Parsing the premier’s pipeline announcement and how this issue is shaping Alberta politics | In this week’s episode of The Line: Alberta Podcast, Rob Breakenridge takes a closer look at the big pipeline announcement last week from Alberta Premier Danielle Smith. Basically, the Alberta government intends on acting as the main proponent in a pipeline application in the hopes that Ottawa will pick up the ball and green light such a project through the Major Projects Office. But there are a lot of specific details lacking here and a lot of questions as to how this will all work. ... | 37m 26s | ||||||
| 10/1/25 | From highest to lowest in the country - What next for minimum wage policy in Alberta? | In this week’s episode of The Line: Alberta Podcast, Rob Breakenridge explores the politics and economics of the province’s minimum wage policy. Effective October 1st, Saskatchewan’s minimum wage rises to $15.35 per hour, leaving Alberta with the lowest minimum wage in the country. In fact, Alberta’s rate has been unchanged since 2018, when the Notley NDP completed their rapid push to $15 per hour. This roller coaster has seen Alberta quickly rise to having the highest minimum wage in... | 30m 01s | ||||||
| 9/24/25 | Edmonton Police oppose plea deal - a welcome intervention or attack on crown independence? | In this week’s episode of The Line: Alberta Podcast, Rob Breakenridge takes a closer look at a case in Edmonton that has made national headlines: the horrific murder of an eight-year-old girl and the very public - and controversial - opposition from Edmonton Police to a possible plea deal for the accused killer. To some, including Alberta’s premier, it’s a welcome jolt to the system and an expression of the frustration that many are feeling about perceived leniency for serious crimes. To othe... | 48m 40s | ||||||

The impact of bad federal policy and signs that change is coming | In this week’s episode of The Line: Alberta Podcast, Rob Breakenridge is joined by Heather Exner-Pirot, a Calgary-based senior fellow at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute and the Institute’s Director of Natural Resources, Energy, and the Environment.

Howe Institute.

| 8/20/25 | Alberta Provincial Police Force - Meeting Alberta’s policing needs, or serving Alberta’s political agenda? | In this episode of The Line: Alberta Podcast, Rob Breakenridge delves into the future of policing in Alberta and whether that will - or should - involve the creation of an Alberta Provincial Police Force. The RCMP contract for community policing ends in 2032, and we may see the RCMP exit community policing altogether in favour of a more focused, national mandate. At the same time, however, the idea of Alberta shedding a federal institution in favour of something Alberta-made and Alberta... | 37m 37s | ||||||
