Summary

Stephen Carter and Shannon Phillips break down the latest referendum fundraising numbers and ask why conservative federalists seem to be getting out-organized by the separatists. Then they strategize what Corb Lund’s Water Not Coal campaign should do after its petition failed validation by Elections Alberta. Can the stay-in-Canada side turn scattered efforts into a real coalition? Should Water Not Coal fight the ruling in court, or in the court of public opinion? And with the Ground Games underway, who are the odds really favouring? Zain Velji, as always, picks the questions and keeps everybody in line.
