This week, Premier Danielle Smith announced that her government will invoke the Alberta Sovereignty Within a United Canada Act to counter the Liberals' oil and gas emissions cap. Smith previously called the oil and gas cap “a deranged vendetta” targeting Alberta. Plus, Alberta MLAs recently voted to increase their own accommodation allowance by 14%. Is this really appropriate given the cost of living crisis in the province? And due to a lack of plan by the feds in response to U.S. President-elect Trump's threat of a 25% tariff, the provinces are taking matters into their own hands.

The province of Alberta is in conflict with the federal Liberal government of Justin Trudeau, with Premier Danielle Smith and her UCP government passing the Alberta Sovereignty within a United Canada Act on December 8, 2022. - Smith has since challenged Ottawa on its overreach into provincial consitutionally enshrined jurisdiction over energy development, with the Supreme Court of Canada, by strong majority supporting Alberta's position energy development is provincial government domain. Smith has, like Saskatchewan premier Scott Moe, declared Ottawa is endangering national unity with its demands for elimination of fossil fuels to produce so-called 'clean' energy by 2030. Like Scott Moe, Danielle Smith was in Dubai for COP 28 and is not at all pleased with the positions adopted in Dubai by federal environment minister Stephen Guilbeault. Will the conflict between Alberta continue in 2024 and what might it look like and how is, in the premier's view, the Trudeau government stepping on provincial jurisdiction?

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith doesn't think the federal government's proposed clean energy regulations are fair, and last year she gave herself the tool she needs to fight them. The Alberta Sovereignty Within a United Canada Act is designed to allow the province to refuse to enforce specific federal laws or policies "that violate the jurisdictional rights of Alberta."Of course, the act hasn't been tested in court, and it's difficult to know if Smith is doing this because she intends to fight these regulations all the way, or as a bargaining chip, since Ottawa has not officially confirmed the specifics of the regulations. Either way, the use of the act sets a precedent that the country should be watching closely on every issue that divides federal and provincial governments... GUEST: Rod Nickel, Reporter, Reuters, covering energy, agriculture and politics in Western Canada, focusing on energy transition

This week on the Alberta Roundup with Rachel Emmanuel, Rachel discusses Premier Danielle Smith's decision to invoke the Sovereignty Within a United Canada Act for the first time to challenge the Trudeau government's electricity regulations. Smith says she invoked the act “to create a shield to protect Albertans from Ottawa's dangerous and unconstitutional electricity regulations.” Plus, Rachel explains why a decision to remove photo radar from ring roads in Calgary and Edmonton doesn't go far enough. Finally, Rachel has news about a major investment in the province. Tune into the Alberta Roundup now! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

On November 29th, Danielle Smith finally unveiled her Alberta Sovereignty Within a United Canada Act, and as much as people were expecting it to be be bad, it turns out it's actually much worse and gives the UCP the power to create and change laws with no oversight whatsoever.

The Grant Report looks at the Sovereign Edmonton Within a United Alberta Within a United Canada Act

This week on Open Sources Guelph. we're coming home for Christmas (at least so far as the news is concerned). We're going to Alberta where there's some interesting new legislation to parse, and then we will catch-up with our old friends in the Green Party who also made some interesting choices. In Guelph though, we're going to sit down with another new city councillor to talk about local issues big and small. This Thursday, December 8, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: Alberta First. Despite the numerous problems they're facing, the first bill brought to the floor by the new(ish) Alberta government was the Alberta Sovereignty Within a United Canada Act. Premier Danielle Smith says that the bill will give Alberta more control over its own destiny, and almost everyone else thinks it's an undemocratic power grab. Is a potential constitutional crisis a good move six months before an election? Till You're Old and May... Elizabeth May has been returned to the head of the Green Party of Canada, but this time she has a young sidekick, Jonathan Pedneault. The co-leader arrangement is meant to buttress the charge that the party's looking backwards, especially after all the accusations and missteps during the leadership of Annamie Paul, but here's the real question: Does Canada still need a national Green Party? Linda-gram. As we continue our journey around the new Guelph City Council table, we come to the new rep from the Quatro! This week, we're joined by Ward 4 City Councillor Linda Busuttil who will talk to us about her transition to council from the school board, transferring her community activism in the west end to her new role, and the big debates she's anticipating when council opens the budget in the new year. Open Sources is live on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca at 5 pm on Thursday.

Global News (December 9), Winnipeg police chief not stepping down amid pressure to search for Indigenous homicide victims. We speak to this news, as well as how Manitobans are responding to the federal government's firearms legislation, particularly as it pertains to shotguns and hunting rifles. - Also, Saskatchewan premier Scott Moe and Alberta premier Danielle Smith have in recent weeks joined us on air to explain their Saskatchewan First Act and the Alberta Sovereignty Within a United Canada Act, with premier Smith suggesting other provinces including Manitoba may show interest in supporting the SK and AB approach. Might Manitobans be interested? Guest: Richard Cloutier, co-host of the News on 680 CJOB weekdays and senior reporter with Global News. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Markham interviews Martin Olszynski, University of Calgary law professor about Premier Danielle Smith's "Alberta Sovereignty within a United Canada Act."

After months of build-up, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith finally unveiled the legislation that was key to her leadership win. The Alberta Sovereignty Within a United Canada Act may have had a softer name than initially proposed, but it was met with controversy over how it would operate. Calgary Sun columnist Rick Bell joins the show to discuss what's in the new bill, why some aspects of it have forced the Smith government to walk it back, and how it could be applied to federal law.

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.

It appears Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is angling to challenge Alberta Premier Danielle Smith's Sovereignty Act. Smith introduced the Sovereignty Within a United Canada Act on Tuesday with the goal of empowering Alberta to mix federal legislation that is harmful to their province, but the following day Trudeau said he's taking nothing off the table when it comes to potentially confronting the issue. Meanwhile, a former CRTC vice-chair is criticizing a bid by Global News to gain access to secure payroll rebates via tax measures, warning that it could make media companies dependent on the Liberal government remaining in power. Also, the Canadian Taxpayers Federation is accusing the federal government of preferential treatment for Quebec when it comes to Justin Trudeau's federally-mandated carbon taxes.

On November 29th, Danielle Smith finally unveiled her Alberta Sovereignty Within a United Canada Act, and as much as people were expecting it to be be bad, it turns out it's actually much worse and gives the UCP the power to create and change laws with no oversight whatsoever. To try and make sense of it, we held a special live episode with the help of Deirdre Mitchell-MacLean that got more than a little feisty!

Alberta's Premier Danielle Smith introduced the Sovereignty within a United Canada Act which she says is a "constitutional shield to protect Albertans from federal overreach" but has it been too long since we examined the constitution to ensure it works equally for everyone?

On another live episode of The Breakdown, we run down the big events in Alberta politics with help from Sarah Biggs and Deirdre Mitchell-MacLean! We start with the costs of the border blockades, Smiths false Cherokee claims, Indigenous condemnation for the “Alberta Sovereignty Within a United Canada Act” and we pull back the covers a bit on Danielle Smiths proposed train from Calgary to Banff and look at where the motivations might be coming from and who stands to gain!
