    Politics in Motion: From Alberta to Ottawa
    Nov 10 2025

    In this wide-ranging (and long) episode, Danny, Michelle, Jesse, and Chris tackle the political currents shaping Alberta and Canada. From what to expect at the 2025 UCP AGM to the heated debates around Alberta separation, they unpack the policies, pressures, and players behind the headlines.

    The conversation spans insurance reform, education challenges, third-party advertisers, union influence, and the federal election landscape—including the exit of 2 CPC MPs.

    It’s candid, curious, and completely unleashed.
