Alberta appears finished with “cash cow” photo radar. The province announced a big cut in “fishing holes”. And the UCP government was fishing for support for a Sovereignty Act motion against the federal emissions cap. The NDP did not bite. West of Centre guests this week are Carrie Tait, Rick Bell and Lori Williams.

The President-elect has threatened a 25 percent tariff on Canadian goods in an effort to stop illegal drugs and migrants from getting into the U.S. Danielle Smith has jumped on board. Also on the pod, the escalating battle between Alberta and Ottawa over the federal emissions cap and using the Sovereignty Act to fight it. West of Centre host Kathleen Petty is joined by Janet Brown, Alex Boyd and Corey Hogan.

On the recently-passed Utah “Constitutional Sovereignty Act,” the fear-mongering, lies and disinformation are bad - even for CNN standards. The post CNN Propaganda: Utah Constitutional Sovereignty Act first appeared on Tenth Amendment Center.

Latest episode of MFRR In Focus interviews Hungarian journalist Szabolcs Panyi about the potential impact of new law The situation for Hungary's embattled independent media is about to become even more challenging. On 12 December, the Hungarian parliament voted to pass the Protection of Sovereignty Act. It was debated for less than two weeks and passed without any serious public consultation.7 Its stated motivation is the protection of Hungarian sovereignty from malign external threats, and the criminalisation of foreign funding to political parties during election campaigns. A new body will now be established to map and report on perceived threats to national sovereignty and identify bodies or individuals suspected of serving foreign interests or receiving foreign funds. In a country where government politicians have previously smeared some media as serving foreign interests, media have criticized the vague language of the law, and decried the bill as being part of the government's decade-long attempt to dial up the pressure on critical voices. Ahead of elections in 2024, and amidst ongoing negotiations with the European Commission over the release of frozen EU funds, the new law looks set to be another divisive issue pitting Budapest against Brussels – and create further uncertainty for media and NGOs. In this episode of the MFRR In Focus, we spoke to renowned Hungarian journalist Szabolcs Panyi about the details of the law, what its real motivations are, and what impact it will have on the already destabilised independent media community. Guests: Szabolcs Panyi, investigative editor at VSQUARE and investigative journalist at Direkt36 Producer and Host: Jamie Wiseman, Europe Advocacy Officer at International Press Institute (IPI) Editor: Javier Luque, head of digital communications at IPI Other episodes in this series: Under illegal surveillance – the Greek ‘Predatorgate' Related links: Draft Sovereignty Protection Act poses fresh threat to independent media IPI joins condemnation of passing of Sovereignty Protection Act  

In just six weeks, Premier Danielle Smith's government hit the (nuclear) reset button on healthcare delivery, invoked the Sovereignty Act over federal clean electricity regulations, kinda sorta committed to a referendum on an Alberta Pension Plan, and took a record-setting delegation to COP28 in Dubai.  5:50 | The Discourse hosts Cheryl Oates and Erika Barootes lay out the biggest stories to come out of Fall Session, and give their predictions for what to expect in Alberta politics in 2024.

Alberta's Sovereignty Act is being used for the first time, against federal clean electricity rules that haven't been fully formed yet. What does this do to the political stakes for both levels of government and what effect will it have on the policy? Host Kathleen Petty is joined by Andrew Leach from the University of Alberta, Emma Graney of the Globe and Mail, and Dean Bennett from The Canadian Press.

Danielle Smith's Sovereignty Act is like trying to get away with amending the Constitution via a hastily-scrawled Post-it note, flimsily affixed while no one's looking. Spare a thought for the poor Alberta reporters who have to explain that, on top of their normal work of attempting to make energy policy engaging.

Meantime, Edmonton councillor Jennifer Rice is in the hot seat after burning through 19 (!) staffers in two years in what insiders call a "tyrannical" work environment.

The Trudeau government has announced that by 2035, every major passenger vehicle sold in Canada will need to be electric. However, as first reported by True North, the Alberta government has come out swinging, saying that they may use the Sovereignty Act for the first time to oppose it. Plus, a firearms group is pointing out that after denying his government's latest firearms ban would affect hunters, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has conceded it does exactly that. And despite Trudeau's assertion that he was never briefed about the Chinese government interfering in Canada's electoral system, it was revealed that an unredacted Privy Council Office document warned the government about Chinese operations in Canada in February 2020.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith's Sovereignty Act is now officially passed in the Alberta legislature. The law that is designed to give the province the ability to ignore federal laws that it deems harmful to its interests garnered a lot of discussion around the country, including hints that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau may soon fight it. Plus, a new public opinion survey on Canada's Premiers shows Quebec's Francois Legault is a popular figure but Ontario's Doug Ford is fast losing support. And tens of thousands of children were targeted by the state for violating covid-19 Quarantine Rules. Was this a good use of our resources?

The Sovereignty Act has been called “unconservative” and “unconstitutional.” Premier Danielle's Smith flagship legislation has – after criticism, defense and amendments – passed. This week, host Kathleen Petty gets the perspective on her premiership and that policy from conservatives in other provinces. She's joined by Melanie Paradis of Texture Communications, Yan Plante from Tact Conseil and researcher Rahim Mohamed.

4:46 | Premier Danielle Smith's Sovereignty Act passes, but not before sweeping cabinet powers are stripped.

EMAIL THE SHOW: talk@ryanjespersen.com  9:56 | Just a few days ago, Sharon Morin received a Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee Medal. Today, she checks in from Montreal, where she's participating in COP15 - the UN conference on biodiversity.

This week: Alberta sovereignty. Sovereign over what and whom, you may ask? Great questions, ones that finally got an answer last week when, on November 29, Premier Danielle Smith introduced her first bill, the Alberta Sovereignty within a United Canada Act. Or did they? Already it seems, Smith has done a western walk-back of some of the bill's more controversial aspects—indeed, days after we recorded our discussion about it on December 2—making it a bit of a moving target. In any case, it never hurts to be Indigenously nervous when provincial premiers flirt with secession, especially when it could come at our expense.  Joining host/producer Rick Harp at the roundtable once again to walk through the Act (such as it was at the time), and what Indigenous peoples there have to say about it, are Associate Professor of Indigenous Studies at York University Brock Pitawanakwat and assistant professor with the University of Alberta's department of drama Ken Williams. // CREDITS: “The Thought of You,” by Squire Tuck; our intro/xtro theme is ‘nesting' by birocratic.

In Part 3 of this week's episode Nick and Joe discuss Alberta's "Sovereignty Act" and the state of politics in Canada

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith speaks to 'The West Block' host Mercedes Stephenson about her government's controversial Sovereignty Act. Smith says the proposed legislation is a warning to Ottawa 'to stay in their lane'. Stephenson also speaks to former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko about Russia's war in Ukraine. He says Russian President Vladimir Putin only understands force and Ukraine needs membership in NATO and the European Union to protect its independence.

This episode was produced by Brian Bradley, Paulo Marques and Raju Mudhar. Audio sources: CPAC

The Bill Kelly Show Podcast: Ontario auditor general Bonnie Lysyk released her annual report Wednesday. We discuss some of the highlights like, highway projects, auto insurance and more! GUEST: Peter Tabuns, Interim Leader of the Ontario NDP and MPP for Toronto-Danforth -  Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says that while he's "not looking for a fight" with Alberta, the federal government is not taking anything off the table when it comes to how it may respond to Alberta Premier Danielle Smith's new 'sovereignty act.' GUEST: Daniel Béland, Director of the McGill Institute for the Study of Canada - Few events capture the attention of the globe like the Men's FIFA World Cup — in 2018, the event boasted a viewership of 3.5 billion people.

GUEST: David Roberts, Director of the Urban Studies Program at the University of Toronto and an Associate Professor with the University of Toronto

Do you think Canada should develop plans to increase LNG exports to help Europe with their energy shortage? How do you view the growing divide between Western provinces and Ottawa?  Any thoughts on Alberta's Sovereignty Act? Please review our disclaimer at: https://www.arcenergyinstitute.com/disclaimer/

She said she'd changed her mind on past controversial views as a radio host. Even her proposed "Sovereignty Act" is being rebranded. Kathleen Petty looks at whether Smith's communications strategy is enough to shift her dropping poll numbers. Corey Hogan, who led communications for the Alberta government under two premiers, joins the conversation along with University of Calgary political scientist Lisa Young and Jason Markusoff, CBC Calgary's analysis and opinion producer.

Tensions within a federation are a frequent, normal occurrence. In Canada, one only has to think about recurrent debates over health care funding to equalization payments. But recently, Canadian federalism has been experiencing more tension than usual. Alberta's new premier is proposing a Sovereignty Act, Saskatchewan's premier expressed a desire for his province to be ‘a nation within a nation', while Quebec's government was handily reelected on a platform of strengthening provincial autonomy even further. How can a federation manage these tensions and adapt when faced with such challenges? What are the features of a robust federation? This episode of the podcast is a panel that returns to the fundamentals of federalism to answer these questions. Moderated by Charles Breton, the director of the Centre for Excellence in the Canadian Federation, the discussion features two experts. Jenna Bednar is a professor of political science at the University of Michigan and a leading scholar of federalism. Our second guest, Benoit Pelletier is a professor of law at the University of Ottawa and a former cabinet minister of Quebec. This episode was recorded during an online event held by the Canada School of Public Service and is the first installment of a partnership between the school and the IRPP's Centre for Excellence. This episode of the podcast is bilingual, with speakers shifting between English and French.

Alberta's election is still more than half a year away, but the campaign is unofficially on. The final two months of 2022 promise to be busy ones, including a throne speech and the likely introduction of the Sovereignty Act.

Alberta's  Lt. Gov. may not propose “Sovereignty Act” into law if a new Premier passes it in the legislature. Can she do that? What are the rules? AIR SHOW. Today is practice day for the 73rd CIAS. Touchdowns and Fumbles    

On this week's episode of The Alberta Roundup with Rachel Emmanuel, Rachel discusses how Premier Jason Kenney and UCP leadership candidate Danielle Smith butt heads over the Sovereignty Act, an act that Kenney calls “premature” and “ill-informed.” The act, which Smith is in favour of, seeks to bar federal legislation deemed harmful to Alberta. Plus, in light of news that an official with Veterans Affairs Canada inappropriately brought up doctor-assisted euthanasia with a veteran seeking treatment for mental health issues, UCP leadership candidate Travis Toews says if he becomes premier, he will do everything in his power to ensure this radical service isn't offered to those suffering from mental illnesses. And if you're looking for your start in Alberta politics, you could become the next leader of Alberta Liberal Party! This week, it was revealed that no one submitted a nomination to run in the party's leadership contest by the party's deadline. Rachel discusses these stories and more on The Alberta Roundup!
