Unpacking Alberta's political mystery
Description
Alberta isn’t always the “true blue” province some might think. Independent pollster Janet Brown and political commentator Dave Cournoyer join Alberta Edge host Ryan Hastman to dissect the province’s political DNA — from the cowboy archetype to Alberta’s unique brand of tax aversion. Together, they explore how decades of royalty windfalls have allowed governments to sidestep tough political choices, and why years of rapid in-migration haven’t dramatically changed the province’s political makeup.
