Rachel Notley and Jason Kenney, both from opposite sides of the political aisle have joined forces with the Canadian Chamber of Commerce to propel their campaign, 'Alberta and Canada: Stronger Together' into the hearts and minds of concerned Albertans. Host Caryn Ceolin is speaking with the former Alberta premiers on their initiative to keep their province in Canada, how they've been brought together, and what economic challenges a separation could bring for Canadians from all corners of the political spectrum.

Depuis le 4 février 2025, le Canada vit sous la menace tarifaire de Donald Trump, avec des droits de douanes qui ont grimpé jusqu'à 50 % sur environ 20 milliards de dollars de nos exportations. Le 8 septembre dernier, Ottawa a répliqué en imposant ses propres contre-tarifs. Que nous reste-t-il comme levier ? On pose la question à l’ancien premier ministre de l’Alberta Jason Kenney.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and Ontario Premier Doug Ford are using very different tactics in the ongoing Canada-U.S. trade war. As Smith travels to Nashville, we ask whether her kill them with kindness approach is working. And Alberta's senior representative in Washington, Nathan Cooper, weighs in on the delicate dance of diplomacy in Donald Trump's America.To put it all in context, two conservative insiders join host Kathleen Petty. Evan Menzies worked with the United Conservative Party, and before that with Smith during the early days of the Wildrose Party. Cole Hogan helped get both Doug Ford and former Alberta premier Jason Kenney elected. Together, they break down the politics behind the premiers' actions and whether these strategies will make headway toward renewed trade talks or at least less punishing tariffs.Host: Kathleen PettyGuests: Nathan Cooper, Evan Menzies, Cole HoganProducers: Emily Senger, Emily Williams, Diane Yanko, Josh Pagé

In an exclusive interview with The House and her first since talks collapsed, Canada's chief trade negotiator to the U.S. Janice Charette sits down with host Catherine Cullen to lift the curtain on last week's abrupt end to the talks and what it will take for both sides to return to the table. Then, Vermont Senator Peter Welch discusses his latest legislative attempt to walk back tariffs on Canada and how the nearing U.S. midterms may help or hamper efforts to resolve an escalating trade war. Plus, author Paul Wells and the Globe and Mail's Shannon Proudfoot review Canada's planned counterattack, what's at stake for Prime Minister Mark Carney and Quebec's pivotal provincial election.And, they're an unlikely duo, but longtime political rivals and former premiers Rachel Notley and Jason Kenney are setting aside their adversarial history to join forces at a high-stakes political moment. The two new co-chairs of a Canadian Chamber of Commerce pro-unity campaign discuss making their economic case for an Alberta that remains in Canada, and the challenges involved with reaching an electorate they previously led.This episode features the voices of:Janice Charette, Canada's chief negotiator to the United StatesPeter Welch, U.S. Senator for VermontPaul Wells, author and podcasterShannon Proudfoot, feature writer for The Globe and MailRachel Notley, former premier of AlbertaJason Kenney, former premier of Alberta

Canada has laid out its plan for dollar-for-dollar retaliation against the latest 50 per cent tariffs imposed by the U.S. Some leaders say that doesn't go far enough, suggesting an energy export tax should be on the table. Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says this escalation would leave Canada 'worse off.' Plus, former Alberta premiers Rachel Notley and Jason Kenney join forces to deliver a message in defence of Canada. 'If you don't want Alberta to become a resource colony for Washington, get out and vote,' says Kenney.

With the Canada-U.S. trade war escalating again (and Saskatchewan imposing a 50% tariff on American alcohol), farmers on the Prairies are once again caught in the middle of a very complicated economic relationship with our biggest customer. Alberta premier Danielle Smith and Saskatchewan premier Scott Moe say oil, gas, and potash are not on the table as bargaining chips. Is it a defensible or anti-Canadian position?

Caylan Ford was a rising political candidate in Alberta in 2019. The UCP nominee was running under new leader Jason Kenney in Calgary-Mountain View and was considered a serious contender. Then, about a month before Alberta's election, PressProgress published excerpts from private Facebook conversations Ford had nearly two years earlier. The story accused her of expressing sympathy for white supremacist terrorists and lamenting "the demographic replacement of white peoples". She resigned immediately. Seven years later, she's suing a considerable list of organizations and journalists as part of a $7.65 million defamation lawsuit. Caylan Ford talks about it all, exclusively on Real Talk, in our feature interview presented by Mercedes-Benz Edmonton West.   THIS EPISODE IS PRESENTED BY RapidEX FINANCIAL.

Stephen Carter and Shannon Phillips talk about what happens when the strategist becomes the spokesperson, whether the political backroom still exists, and why Carter is discovering that dealing with the public may be the hardest part of running a campaign. Then they dig into the strange out-of-province donations flowing to the Alberta Republican Party and the loopholes that could allow even more money to move through Alberta politics without anyone knowing where it came from. How much money would it actually take to seriously disrupt the referendum? Is voter suppression a bigger risk than anyone wants to admit? And is Jason Kenney becoming a Conservative elder statesman, or quietly auditioning for Pierre Poilievre's job?Zain Velji, as always, picks the questions and keeps everybody in line.Join our Patreon for ad-free episodes, bonus episodes, and access to our exclusive Discord.https://www.patreon.com/c/strategistspodYou can also watch our episodes on YouTube.https://www.youtube.com/@strategistspod Hosted on Acast.

Former Alberta premier Jason Kenney has been urging Albertans to reject separation, but Danielle Paradis, an Edmonton-based writer, editor, podcaster and associate professor at MacEwan University, says he helped create the political conditions that allowed the movement to grow in the first place. She joins the show to explain her argument.

Deb Hutton speaks with Mary-Margaret McMahon, Liberal MPP for Beaches-East York, about whether it's time to introduce term limits for municipal politicians and how long elected officials should stay in office. Listeners then weigh in on two debates: Should voters decide when politicians leave office, or should term limits be imposed? And as concerns grow over lithium-ion battery fires, are e-bike and e-scooter batteries safe to charge inside the home, and who is responsible when something goes wrong? Later, former Alberta Premier Jason Kenney joins the show for a discussion on antisemitism in Canada and the political response to its rise.

Derek Fildebrandt, Nigel Hannaford, Cory Morgan and Dave Naylor break down Elections Alberta's handling of the independence referendum campaign, Jason Kenney's possible path back into federal Conservative politics, and the growing Canada-U.S. trade fight under Trump.

In October, Alberta will vote on whether or not to have a binding referendum on separating from Canada. Separatists have latched on to the idea that the Federal government is impeding Alberta's prosperity, after years of the UCP making these same arguments. Danielle Smith wanted to leverage western alienation against the federal government, but now that the movement has evolved, she is like a sorcerer who's lost control of her spells.After the victory of Brexit, Meloni, and Trump (twice), the lesson that status quo establishment politics cannot defeat anti-establishment movements should be clear. And yet, the leadership of the labour movement is joining hands with establishment politicians of every stripe, and aligning against separation behind Canadian nationalism. This is dissolving the struggle of the working class into the same camp as the federal liberals, conservatives, the bosses, and every other discredited figure.The workers of Alberta need a class based approach to fight the reactionary separatist project.In this presentation from the 2026 Western Canadian Marxist Summer School, Laine Sheldon-Houle explains the communist position.

sat down with Alberta Premier Danielle Smith for a direct conversation about the issues Albertans are actually talking about.This wasn't a mainstream media interview.We talked about the Alberta flag, the division we're seeing in this province, First Nations collaboration, equalization, the referendum question, Mark Carney, Ottawa, pipelines, Alberta's future, and why she keeps doing the job when every decision gets attacked.Premier Smith responded to questions about whether the equalization formula is broken, what Alberta's real options are after Jason Kenney's 2021 equalization referendum, and whether Albertans can trust Ottawa to follow through on promises around energy, pipelines, investment, and respect for this province.We also talked about the work being done between the Alberta government and First Nations communities, including economic opportunity, resource development, jobs, ownership, and partnerships that often get ignored in the political noise.Love her or hate her, it's not every day you get to sit down with the Premier of Alberta and ask the questions regular Albertans are asking.This is the full interview.In this episodeAlberta flag controversy and provincial prideFirst Nations collaboration in AlbertaEqualization and Alberta's optionsThe 2026 Alberta referendum questionMark Carney, Ottawa, and federal accountabilityPipelines, energy, and Alberta's economic futureWhy Premier Danielle Smith keeps doing the jobDanielle Smith outside of politics

As Albertans contemplate an October referendum that will see them choose between the province remaining in Canada or starting the process toward a future binding independence vote, the governing United Conservative Party is starting to show signs of internal strain and vulnerability of its leader, Premier Danielle Smith.The political game in Alberta has changed. The debate around the future of the province has ignited emotion on all sides, and has morphed into "primordial politics," a deeply-entrenched, identity-based attachment to your side.This week on West of Centre, host Kathleen Petty is joined by two long-time observers of politics in Alberta, with deep knowledge of how the political landscape has evolved. Anthony Sayers is a political science professor and director of Canadian governance policy in the University of Calgary's School of Public Policy; and David Stewart is a professor emeritus in the University of Calgary's political science department. Both are frequent collaborators who have co-authored a number of papers and academic book chapters, and they have a new book that will be published this summer, The Dawn of Competitive Party Politics in Alberta: An End to Solitude.In this rare conversation, Sayers and Stewart tap into the past, where the governing Progressive Conservatives enjoyed little opposition until the Wild Rose Party came along and posed a credible threat. But the merging of the parties has pushed the UCP further to the right, forcing the party to keep its base motivated and ready to turn out in an election. They say the UCP is a different party from when Jason Kenney was leader, and even more difficult for Smith to manage. Host: Kathleen PettyGuests: Anthony Sayers, David StewartProducer: Diane Yanko

Former environment minister Steven Guilbeault is resigning as a Liberal MP and expected to break the news to his colleagues on Wednesday, CBC News has learned.

Plus, P&P hears from former Alberta premier Jason Kenney about the province's referendum question — and the challenges ahead for Premier Danielle Smith.

Canada is at a "strategic crossroads" as an energy superpower, says Dr. David Knight Legg.

In the latest episode of The Line Podcast, Matt Gurney and Jen Gerson devote the first segment to a full catch-up on the increasingly wild situation unfolding in Alberta. Jen is furious, arguing that five million people — and indeed the entire country — are now being dragged through this largely because Danielle Smith is trying to save her political career. She's equally angry at parts of the political right that, in her view, are repeating the mistakes the left made during the peak of woke politics: refusing to challenge allies and friends when things start getting out of control. Still, both hosts agree that now that the fight is fully underway, the issues can at least finally be debated openly. Jen states plainly, with Matt's agreement, that The Line holds an explicitly federalist position. You've been warned.This episode of The Line Podcast is brought to you by Electro-Federation Canada. Canada's clean electricity grid gives us a competitive edge in attracting global investment — but to maintain that advantage our system needs to break down barriers and unlock the grid. Aging infrastructure, supply chain constraints, and outdated regulations threaten our ability to expand and modernize the grid — essential components of meeting future capacity needs. Electro-Federation Canada has developed a research-backed roadmap for grid readiness focused on smart policy and regulatory alignment.

Jen also flags a particular political group that listeners should keep an eye on. Matt spends part of the segment stress-testing two of Jen's arguments, offering an interpretation of Smith's conduct that could potentially prove constructive, and sketching out a possible good-news scenario that Jen reluctantly entertains. He doesn't think he sold her.This episode of The Line Podcast is also brought to you by Dominion Dynamics. Canada has never had true sovereign awareness of our North.

The CBC says it has halted funding and launched a review, but neither host believes that will resolve the problem. Both agree that media organizations tend to forget everything they know about how the media works the moment they become the story themselves. Speaking of institutional trouble, Matt closes by asking, only half jokingly, whether the CRTC could perhaps avoid declaring war on the United States for at least the next month or so. If it's not too much trouble.All that and more on the latest episode of The Line Podcast.

Alberta's separatist movement is wrapped up in a huge personal data breach that has impacted nearly three million people including former premier Jason Kenney, who tells Power & Politics he's 'ticked off' and 'concerned' about the privacy violation. Plus, the federal government is moving to make it easier to get things built faster in Canada. CBC's Kate McKenna reports.

Amber Ruddy and Keith McLaughlin say the latest controversy surrounding Alberta's separatist petition is rapidly escalating beyond a simple referendum debate, particularly after the alleged voter-list breach and doxxing of former premier Jason Kenney. Speaking with Alberta Edge host Falice Chin, Ruddy argued the episode undermines the separatist movement's credibility, while McLaughlin warned the turmoil could deepen divisions inside the UCP.

Many investors talk about financial freedom, but few ever scale to the point where they can leave their W-2 jobs and live off the cash flow from their real estate investments. Jason Kenney did it. Completely burned out after two decades of climbing the corporate ladder, Jason and his wife started allocating their W-2 income to real estate assets with the goal of buying back their time. Within only a few years, Jason was able to quit his W-2 job and replace his income with cash-flowing investments. Now, as the founder of Novo Capital Management, Jason focuses exclusively on multifamily apartments, with a 1,200-unit portfolio spanning several markets. Having been on both sides of syndications, Jason offers a rare, dual perspective on operations and the process of vetting sponsors. Using his “SMART” framework, investors can do their own due diligence on general partners, syndication deals, and even active investments. In this conversation, Jason shares about some of his recent acquisitions, candid lessons from deals that didn't pencil, and what investors need to do to truly stand out in today's high-interest-rate environment. Insights from today's episode: How Jason traded corporate burnout for financial freedom with real estate The “SMART” investor's framework for analyzing real estate deals How to properly vet sponsors and syndication deals before committing capital Why so many secondary markets are ripe with multifamily investing opportunities How operators can stand out in today's high-interest-rate environment — Novo Capital Management   Connect with Jason on LinkedIn Recommended Resources: Accredited Investors, you're invited to Join the Cash Flow Investor Club to learn how you can partner with Kevin Bupp on current and upcoming opportunities to create passive cash flow and build wealth.

We talk about the deep roots of populism in Alberta, including the merger between the Wildrose and the old Progressive Conservative Party. Gerson asks the former premier some tough questions about how we got here. Why have generations of Alberta's leaders tried to tap the populist well? And will this vote be the time they tapped the anger of western alienation too deep. #Canada #Alberta #Separatism #JasonKenney #Populism #Referendum #thelinepodcast
