This week on The Discourse, Cheryl and Erika wade into the political firestorm Premier Danielle Smith kicked off with her live address on Alberta’s sovereignty. Cheryl opens with a scathing monologue on why Smith’s refusal to outright reject separation has real consequences — politically, economically, and reputationally. Erika counters that Smith’s move is about getting ahead of grassroots frustration, not fuelling separatism. Sparks fly as they unpack what it means to lower the referendum threshold, who’s really behind the push for independence, and whether Smith is preserving democracy or playing footsie with Take Back Alberta.
From there, your hosts tackle:
Whether Alberta’s “Fair Deal 2.0” will be an actual educational tool — or just more grievance theatre.
Naheed Nenshi’s fiery “just do it” dare to Smith, and why Cheryl thinks it’s playing with fire.
The Carney-Trump Oval Office meeting: why both hosts were (cautiously) impressed.
Smith vs. Ford: two premiers, two very different tones on working with Prime Minister Carney.
What the Alberta NDP’s new federal opt-out means — and whether 89% is really a strong number for Nenshi.
And a preview of three coming by-elections in Alberta: what each party’s strategy might be, and whether the UCP will continue to drag out the timeline for Nenshi’s seat.
Listen now for a fiery debate on democracy, discontent, and the future of Alberta.
