Listen "A hot mess"
Episode Synopsis
A UCP leadership review. A shifting conversation on the border, brought on by Donald Trump’s tariff threats. Naheed Nenshi taking the reins of the NDP, and the new fight ticket heading into the next provincial election. And that’s just to name a few of the big Alberta political stories this year. Host Kathleen Petty is joined by Zain Velji from Northweather, Alex Boyd from the Toronto Star and the CBC’s Jason Markusoff to reflect on the dizzying pace of politics in 2024. Plus, conversation around the rapidly developing situation in Ottawa after Chrystia Freeland’s abrupt resignation on Monday, and a look at the results in the Lethbridge-West byelection.
