Episode 4024: No Rule Against It?

About this episode

Stephen Carter and Shannon Phillips discuss the use of the Alberta Liberal Party in campaigning against referendum questions in Alberta.

Stephen Carter and Shannon Phillips dive into Carter’s plan to use the Alberta Liberal Party as a campaign vehicle to fight the province’s referendum questions. What problem is this actually solving, and why does the rulebook point here? When does “following the rules” start to look like breaking them? And how many non-consensual partnerships is this actually going to take? Zain Velji, as always, picks the questions and keeps everybody in line.
