PODCAST: Referendum on a Referendum - A Muddled Question to Decide Alberta’s Future

In this episode of the Rob Breakenridge Show, we’ll focus on the major development that occurred this week in Alberta: the announcemengt from Premier Danielle Smith of an October referendum on Alberta’s future. The question itself is controversial though: it's not one where the outcome means Alberta separates from Canada, but it’s not a meaningless question, either. It’s muddled enough that neither sides seems to happy. We’ll hear from Thomas Lukaszuk, founder of the group Forever Canadian [https://www.forever-canadian.ca/en]. The first part of the premier’s question does mirror the Forever Canadian petition question, although Lukaszuk maintains their efforts were to head off a separatist referendum. We’ll get his thoughts on how we got to this point, the remarkable scenes this week at the committee tasked with reviewing his petition, and the campaign pivot for Forever Canadian now that this referendum campaign is underway. We’ll also find out how this is being received on the independence side of this debate and what now for the separation movement, as we’re joined by Derek Fildebrandt, president, publisher, and CEO of the Western Standard [https://www.westernstandard.news/]. We’ll get his reaction to Smith’s announcement and framing of the question and how this ensuing campaign is shaping up. Plus, we’ll look at the influence of the separatist movement within the UCP and how much of a threat now exists to Smith’s leadership.

PODCAST: Smith and Carney sign a new pipeline deal amid questions around Alberta separation and Indigenous consultation

In this episode of the Rob Breakenridge Show, a closer look at two major stories from this week: the new pipeline agreement between Alberta and Ottawa as the court decision that, for now, has quashed the separatist campaign to force a referendum. We’re joined in this episode by Andrew Leach, who’s an energy and environmental economist at the University of Alberta, and holds join appointments in both the Faculties of Arts and Law. We delve into the agreement reaches between Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and Prime Minister Mark Carney on carbon pricing and emissions reduction that sets the stage for a pipeline proposal to be fast tracked through the Major Projects Office. Progress on this front could go a long way in calming the political mood in Alberta. The duty to consult with First Nations, though, looms large over this project as well as the debate in Alberta around separation. We’ll also focus on the court decision that blocked the separatist petition on the basis that it potentially interferes with treaty rights. Alberta intends on appealing that decision, but what impact could that court fight have on the effort to advance the pipeline project?

PODCAST: Why Canada Should Shelve Carbon Capture and Prioritize Energy Infrastructure

In this episode of the Rob Breakenridge Show, we hear from Martha Hall Findlay, director of the School of Public Policy at the University of Calgary Amid shifting global circumstances and economic pressures here at home, Hall Findlay is calling for a strategic rethink of Canada’s energy priorities - specifically as it applies to the Alberta-Ottawa memorandum of understanding (MOU). One of the pillars of that agreement is the multi-billion-dollar Pathways carbon capture project - a project that Hall Findlay has long championed. But now, in her words [https://news.ucalgary.ca/news/opinion-better-pathway], it’s time for a “better pathway,” which means postponing the carbon capture project and prioritizing major projects such as a pipeline to the west coast. While carbon capture is an expensive endeavour with negligible impacts on global climate, Hall Findlay argues that energy infrastructure and resource development can have a hugely beneficial impact when it comes to both the Canadian economy and the global supply.

PODCAST: Understanding Alberta's separatist movement - and where this debate is headed

In this episode of the Rob Breakenridge Show, a closer look at the movement and debate that is dominating Alberta politics at the moment: Alberta separatism. Our guest this week is Tyler Dawson, he’s a journalist at the Globe & Mail and author of the new book “The Republic of Alberta: An Idea That Won’t Go Away.” The book dives into the historical roots of the Alberta’s separatist movement and seeks to understand why so many Albertans feel so alienated and frustrated. As the province barrels toward what is almost certainty a vote on separation, it’s crucial to understand the deep-rooted grievances that have motivated this independence movement and why the idea holds such appeal for - at least according to polls - close to one-third of Albertans. And even assuming Alberta votes to remain in Canada, Dawson argues that it’s unlikely we’ll see this movement and this debate simply fade away. Plus, we’ll have an update on the story that’s broken over the last couple of days: an investigation into what Elections Alberta believes was the unauthorized use by a separatist group of the province’s official list of electors.

PODCAST: Peter Guthrie on Alberta's electoral boundary dispute, separation debate, accountability deficit, and more

In this episode of the Rob Breakenridge Show, a closer look at some key debates raging in Alberta as we speak with Peter Guthrie, former UCP MLA and cabinet minister who is now leader of the upstart Alberta Progressive Tory Party. We’ll delve into the debate around Alberta’s electoral boundaries and whether the government’s rejection of the report from the Electoral Boundaries Commission is part of an effort to draw a more favourable electoral map. We’ll also discuss the latest developments around October’s Referendum Day: How the government is using public resources to campaign for a ‘yes’ vote on their nine chosen questions - and the ongoing shenanigans and uncertainty around a possible vote on separation. Plus, we’ll find out more about Guthrie’s efforts to bring oversight to government decisions around spending and the awarding of contracts - and how procedural changes have stymied those efforts Get full access to Rob Breakenridge at robbreakenridge.substack.com/subscribe [https://robbreakenridge.substack.com/subscribe?utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=CTA_4]
