About the Episode

It’s Election eve!

With a writ drop expected for Monday, May 1st Alberta Politics is getting ready to gear up to top speed and we’re back with our weekly recap!

Danielle Smith doubled down on forced treatment early on in the week, but that was just the start! We also saw a major announcement about a new arena in Calgary as well as another series of scandals from UCP candidates, including Smith herself as she posed for pictures with a convoy organizer who is still facing legal consequences! 

All this and we take a look at the recent revelations around the far right extremist group “Take Back Alberta” and the continued influx of conservative heavy hitters lending their support to the NDP in an attempt to stop the free fall into chaos that many see conservatism experiencing!
