We start with an overview of Alberta Premier Danielle’s Smith announcement this week of the new Alberta Next panel, which hit the road this summer and into the early fall to speak with Albertans about how to strengthen our position within Canada and better protect our interests. We’ll hear what the premier had to say about what she hopes this can accomplish and how this differs from the Fair Deal panel that was launched under former Premier Jason Kenney.
Meanwhile, we’ll also have a conversation with one of the 15 individuals named to the Alberta Next panel. Michael Binnion, he’s got a long history in the energy sector and in advocating for what he describes as market-based energy policy and federalism reform. We’ll find out what he hopes this panel can accomplish and what he sees as the challenges Alberta is trying to overcome.
Plus, we’ll take an in-depth look at the big international issue of the moment: what’s happening in Iran and where things go from here. A lot of questions about the future of the Iranian regime and the future of their nuclear aspirations in light of what’s happened over the last couple of weeks, especially the involvement of the Americans. Veteran journalist and columnist Terry Glavin joins us - he’s got a great piece on all of this on his Substack this week.
