Peter Mazereeuw speaks with Jared Wesley, a political scientist at the University of Alberta, about how Albertans are taking the election of another Liberal government, Danielle Smith vs. Mark Carney, and the tensions between East and West. 

Why do we allow politicians to drive wedges between us? Why do we listen when they try to convince us cities are the enemy of rural communities, and vice versa? It's a divisive-yet-effective political strategy in countries like Canada and the USA. Is this the new normal?  2:20 | Dr. Kathy Cramer is an internationally-renowned expert on the urban-rural political divide.

Dr Wesley is a political scientists and professor at the Univeristy of Alberta who specializes in taking a look at not only how Albertans see themselves, but also how they believe other Albertans see the world around them as well! Dr. Wesley does these investigations through his organization, Common Ground and recently he and his team completed some important research taking a deeper look at not only how Albertans view some of the big issues facing our province but also how they believe other Albertans feel about those issues as well, and he joins us to share those results and their implications! Not only that, but we also get into Bill 18, what it potentially means for the future of research and democracy in Alberta and perhaps most importantly, Dr. Wesley shares what Albertans need to be doing to move the needle in meaningful ways!

BRATT'S TWITTER THREAD: https://twitter.com/DuaneBratt/status/1651683655612522496?s=20 1:10:10 | Alberta's election will come down to one thing, says Charles Adler. The talk radio legend tells us what he thinks the "ballot box question" is this time around. Will Danielle Smith's admiration of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis help or hurt her with voters?

Mayor. Councillors. School trustees. Albertans will cast their votes for those jobs on Monday. But also on the ballot? Equalization, Senate nominee elections and daylight saving time. It's referendum madness. Today, host Kathleen Petty explores those ballot questions with University of Alberta political scientist Jared Wesley and pollster Janet Brown.

Power & Politics for Friday, October 8th with Nova Scotia Health Minister Michelle Thompson, Manitoba PC Leadership candidate Shelley Glover, Kofi Yeboah, Jared Wesley, and the Power Panel.

Guest: Dr. Jared Wesley, Political Scientist at the University of Alberta. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Alberta NDP is gaining political advantage as the UCP fights a giant political dumpster fire. Rachel Notley’s poll numbers are on the rise while Jason Kenney’s are tanking. The premier is fighting a caucus rebellion spurred on by his pandemic response. Meanwhile, Notley is a headline speaker following Jagmeet Singh at this weekend’s federal NDP convention - an interesting lineup given their past disagreements. Kathleen Petty looks at the many political fires burning with her guest, Brian Topp, Notley’s former chief of staff, and this week’s panel - University of Alberta political scientist Jared Wesley, conservative strategist Erika Barootes of Enterprise Canada, and National Observer columnist, Max Fawcett.

Dr. Seuss Enterprises announced six books deemed racist are going out of print, and their online asking price immediately jumped. What does this say? We talk to University of Central Arkansas philosophy professor Dr. Jacob Held, editor of "Dr. Seuss and Philosophy: Oh, the Thinks You Can Think!" Are universities in Canada inherently biased against conservatives? Trent University's Dr. Christopher Dummitt, University of Alberta's Dr. Jared Wesley, and investigative journalist Steven Zhou dig in. 16:30 - Dr. Jacob Held 40:46 - Bias on campuses panel

There is no shortage of armchair quarterbacks dishing advice to Alberta’s premier. The latest, and perhaps most stinging, comes from Brian Jean, who lost the UCP leadership to Jason Kenney. The suggestions range from how to manage a caucus to the premier’s own health. Meanwhile Kenney is governing through the pandemic with growing criticism on his right flank. Kathleen Petty looks at how the premier is responding with Kelly Cryderman of the Globe and Mail, political scientists Jared Wesley of the University of Alberta and Duane Bratt of Mount Royal University.

Dr. Jared Wesley joins Dave Cournoyer on the Daveberta Podcast to discuss Jason Kenney's leadership of the United Conservative Party, Rachel Notley's focus on health care during the pandemic, the Alberta Party and Wildrose Independence Party leadership races, and the equalization referendum and Senate nominee elections that will coincide with the October municipal elections. We […]

Sun columnist Rick Bell used that term to describe the bumpy ride Alberta’s premier and his UCP are getting after an air travel controversy over the holidays. A minister and several UCP MLAs and staffers left the country despite months of government pleas to avoid non-essential travel. When CBC broke the first story, Albertans were furious. Jason Kenney took responsibility at a news conference on New Year’s Day, but that didn’t quell the rage. A few days later, the premier acknowledged the anger and accepted the resignation of his minister, stripped the MLAs of committee posts and fired his chief of staff. Host Kathleen Petty looks at whether there’s more turbulence ahead for Kenney with her guests Sun columnist Rick Bell, pollster Janet Brown of Janet Brown Opinion Research and political scientist Jared Wesley of the University of Alberta.

Dr. Jared Wesley is a political scientist and an Associate Professor at the University of Alberta. He's also the lead on the Common Ground Initiative, which aims to identify and define the values that drive politics in Alberta. Dr. Wesley has done extensive work to explore what Conservatism means in Alberta, and the Common Ground Initiative has done extensive work to determine how Albertans relate to politics. Dr. Wesley joined us to talk about what defines modern conservatism in Alberta, some of the findings of the Common Ground Initiative, how Albertans view themselves and most importantly how much work remains to be done to help more Albertans engage in not only politics but to make them feel at home in their own province.

Robyn Strain, a respiratory therapist, was among the first Albertans to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. She joins us hours later to discuss the process, and how she and her colleagues are feeling as cases continue to rise. The politics of a pandemic are producing interesting polling results, including the rise of a right wing party that could take votes from the governing UCP. Dr. Jared Wesley helps us sort it all out. Momin Saeed and Trent Daley give us a sense of how Alberta's Muslim community is holding up in light of multiple targeted attacks in Edmonton. And April Prescott takes us inside her creative mind, and how she's dealing with the mental health impacts of COVID-19.

Alberta’s premier is defending his response to the second wave of the pandemic amidst growing criticism and news of tension with the chief medical officer of health. Jason Kenney declared a state of emergency but said he would not bow to political pressure or ideology and lock down the economy. This on the same day the province released a financial update reflecting Alberta’s economic crisis. Kathleen Petty assesses the government’s approach with two economists: Trevor Tombe and Lindsay Tedds of the University of Calgary, and political scientist Jared Wesley of the University of Alberta.

In Episode 12 of A Trader's Life I chat with  trader and mentor Anmol Singh. Anmol was raised in India, studied in the UK at Brunel University and now lives in New York. He launched Live Traders in 2015 with his former mentor Jared Wesley. Their company has been voted the #1 Trading Education Firm for three years in a row. It was abundantly clear from our chat that Anmol got to where he is today, making consitent profits over time, by sticking to a very disciplined strategy and not deviating from it. He also enjoys teaching other traders how to follow his approach.-BEFORE YOU HEAD OFF… as we all know, a lot can go wrong in trading. Some days you can find yourself gasping for breath and telling yourself you need a complete break from it.Well, take a look at this. It's a way of making passive income by taking a stake in the crypto space but doesn't require you to trade crypto. The company in question is called Yieldnodes. And essentially, what these guys do is provide cutting edge services to the blockchain network, such as maintaining e-wallets and the like.It's very easy to get set up on the platform, and the returns are truly exceptional, averaging around 10% per month. Once you factor in compounding you could be looking at just north of 200% per annum. Here's another thing I think is really important: Yieldnodes have allowed members to audit their incomings and outgoings and found them to be entirely transparent.  I personally think this is an exciting proposition and, if you sign up through my link, instead of the usual minimum deposit of 500 Euros, you can make a start with just 50 Euros. Heck, some people put that on the lottery every weekend! So why not plant a seed today with Yieldnodes and see what grows from there?By pass the 500 Euro minimum requirment and start participating in the Yieldnodes project with as little as 50 Euros via this link while helping to keep this podcast going. Support the showPlease follow A Trader's Life on Twitter.

New research suggests more than half of Albertans believe the province’s best days are behind it. It’s one of several themes that emerged in a new survey from the Common Ground research initiative at the University of Alberta. Political scientist Jared Wesley at the U of A discusses his data and the parallels with the U.S. election results, with Mount Royal University political scientist Duane Bratt and host Kathleen Petty.

Jared Wesley Singer talks about the collaboration between Riverkeeper and the Media Sanctuary's NATURE (North Troy Art Technology and Urban Research in Ecology) Lab Environmental Education Center, located in North Troy, one of the lowest-income Census blocks in the region, and the northernmost point of the Hudson River Estuary. The Water Justice Lab project will establish a water quality sampling lab, educate diverse communities about water literacy and water civics (water issues and how to make a difference), develop the advocacy capacity of the North Troy area, and strengthen a network of environmental justice advocates focused on water issues in the Hudson River Watershed. Interview by HMM correspondent Aileen Javier. For more information on The Water Justice Lab please visit: www.mediasanctuary.org

Albertans may have more at stake in the Conservative Party leadership race with all but one of their MPs flying the party flag in a minority government. Erin O’Toole has the enthusiastic endorsement of Premier Jason Kenney and other high profile Conservatives in Western Canada. Host Kathleen Petty asks Erin O’Toole about his economic ideas and how he’d cope with western alienation if he wins the leadership. Political scientists Jared Wesley of the University of Alberta and Duane Bratt of Mount Royal University listen in and provide their analysis.

Paula Simons, Independent senator from Alberta, former journalist, host of the podcast Alberta Unbound Dr. Jared Wesley, Political Science Professor, University of Alberta Doug Griffiths, writer, economic consultant, President & CEO of 13 Ways Inc, former Progressive Conservative provincial cabinet minister

On today's show, we check in with Edmonton and area businesses on how Day 1 of Alberta's relaunch plan went. And, Senator Paula Simons, political science professor Dr. Jared Wesley, and former Conservative provincial cabinet minister Doug Griffiths join us as we talk about Alberta's identity and why it matters on this edition of the Friday Round Table.

There are so many divides in Alberta: rural and urban, north and south, right and left, Indigneous and settler, myth and reality. With so much diversity, how to do we find an coherent identity? And how do we confront, honestly, the complexity of our history? In part two of Alberta Unbound, host Paula Simons puts those provocative questions to five diverse panelists: Dr. Jared Wesley, a political scientist from the University of Alberta, Shannon Stubbs, the Conservative MP from the riding of Lakeland, in northeastern Alberta, Dr. Diana Steinhauer, the president of Yellowhead Tribal College and an elder from the Saddle Lake Cree Nation, Omar Mouaellem, an award-winning journalist, and author and former Alberta provincial cabinet minister Doug Griffiths.

What does it mean to be an Albertan? When you think of a “typical” Albertan, do you imagine a rancher? A rigger? A cowboy? A construction worker? How do we define, and redefine, what it means to be of this place? In part one of Alberta Unbound, host Paula Simons puts those provocative questions to five diverse panelists: Dr. Jared Wesley, a political scientist from the University of Alberta, Shannon Stubbs, the Conservative MP from the riding of Lakeland, in northeastern Alberta, Dr. Diana Steinhauer, the president of Yellowhead Tribal College and an elder from the Saddle Lake Cree Nation, Omar Mouaellem, an award-winning journalist, and author and former Alberta provincial cabinet minister Doug Griffiths.

Alberta alienation seems as old as Alberta itself. It has become a touchstone and a trope of Canadian politics. But what does that alienation spring from? And how has it changed over the last hundred years. In Part Three of Alberta Unbound, host Paula Simons discusses Alberta struggles and Alberta stereotypes with panelists Dr. Jared Wesley, a professor of political science from the University of Alberta; Shannon Stubbs, the Conservative MP for the riding of Lakeland, northeast of Edmonton; Dr. Diana Steinhauer, the president of Yellowhead Tribal College; acclaimed journalist Omar Mouallem,  and author and former Alberta cabinet minister Doug Griffiths.

Who gets to tell the story of Alberta? What are the stories Albertans tell themselves – and what are the stories that get told about them? Whoever controls those narratives controls the way Albertans see themselves and are seen by others. In Part Four of Alberta Unbound, host Paula Simons debates the stories and myths of Alberta with five provocative guests: Shannon Stubbs, the Conservative MP for the riding of Lakeland, award-winning magazine writer Omar Mouallem, Jared Wesley, a professor of political science at the University of Alberta, Doug Griffiths, an author and former Conservative provincial cabinet minister, and Cree elder and academic Diana Steinhauer.

After years of being locked into a boom-and-bust resource economy, after years of battling against redneck stereotypes, after years of fighting for their future, how do Albertans create the Alberta they want? And what should that Alberta look like? In the fifth and final installment of Alberta Unbound, host Paula Simons, and her panelists -- Dr. Jared Wesley, a professor of political science from the University of Alberta; Shannon Stubbs, the Conservative MP for the riding of Lakeland, northeast of Edmonton; Dr. Diana Steinhauer, the president of Yellowhead Tribal College, and an elder with the Saddle Lake Cree Nation in Treaty Six territory; acclaimed journalist and documentary-maker Omar Mouallem,  and author and former Alberta cabinet minister Doug Griffiths – tackle some tough questions from an Edmonton audience. 

Following the federal election on Monday that gave Justin Trudeau’s Liberal Party a minority government, calls for Alberta and Saskatchewan to separate from Canada — the so-called Wexit movement — gained a lot of traction of social media. But these tensions aren’t new. The notion of Western alienation has existed for decades. Guest host Rachel Browne surveys the #wexit trend on social media with Global’s senior correspondent Jeff Semple. She’s also joined by political scientist Jared Wesley, associate professor at the University of Alberta, who takes us through the history of Western alienation and how we can address these complex issues.
