## Resource

Amber Ruddy and Keith McLaughlin kick the tires on the week's biggest political dustups, including an early Stampede showdown pitting Calgary Mayor Jeromy Farkas against Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre. They also discuss what a cancelled rodeo parade reveals about the province’s increasingly heated separation debate. Saddle up as Alberta Edge gets ready for 10 days of political debauchery.
