Talk of Alberta separatism is reaching a simmer as supporters of independence brought forward what they say is a successful petition drive to get a question put to voters.
But the story has been hit with scandal as another pro-independence group has come under fire for allegedly leaking the province’s list of electors.
This is all coming together as Alberta’s premier is trying to put a lid on such talk as she negotiates a new deal with Ottawa that may put some grievances to bed.
Calgary Herald columnist Don Braid joins the show to discuss who some of the key figures are, why they’re arguing for separation, and how the debate has affected politics in Alberta.
