  • Alberta's separatists helped elect Danielle Smith. Now what? with Dr. Lisa Young

    Alberta's separatists helped elect Danielle Smith. Now what? with Dr. Lisa Young
    22 Oct 2026

    What happens when the people who helped put you in power turn against you?


    Max Fawcett sits down with Dr. Lisa Young, a political science professor at the University of Calgary, to unpack the fallout from Alberta's referendum and what it means for Smith's political future.


    They discuss whether Smith can hold her party together, what the referendum results reveal about support for separatism, and how Alberta's political and business elites have helped fuel Western alienation. Lisa also explains what her research into populism reveals about Alberta voters, including some surprising findings about democracy.

    Max Fawcett and former Alberta NDP MLA and environment minister Shannon Phillips unpack the fallout from the referendum and what comes next for the province.

    Are Alberta and B.C. headed for a political shakeup? with Shachi Kurl
    19 Oct 2026

    Max reunites with Shachi Kurl, president of the Angus Reid Institute and his former co-panellist on a CBC show a decade ago, to unpack a pivotal moment in Canadian politics. With Albertans heading to the polls in a referendum, the two discuss what the results could mean for Danielle Smith and whether separatism has created divisions within her conservative base. Plus, Shachi explains the shifting political landscape in British Columbia, why climate change has slipped down voters' priority lists and the competing factions within Carney's Liberal coalition.
