Episode Details

Danielle Smith is at it again! We need to talk about Alberta’s explosive electoral boundary shake-up—and why many are calling it outright gerrymandering. Under Premier Danielle Smith, the process of redrawing of electoral boundaries has been manipulated to favor the UCP, raising serious concerns about the integrity of upcoming elections.

We unpack how a supposedly independent system is being reshaped, why this matters far beyond Alberta, and what it signals about the future of democracy in Canada. If fair representation matters, this is a conversation Canadians can’t afford to ignore.
