Summary
Marty asks what comes next for Alberta independence after the court ruling, and whether the rules around a referendum are being changed as the movement gains momentum. He also looks at the Alberta Prosperity Project encouraging supporters to buy UCP memberships, Alberta’s new industrial carbon price deal with Ottawa, wildfire evacuations near Whitecourt, new teacher funding, census boycott calls, and major political shakeups in Canada and abroad.
