About this episode
Another intense couple of days in Alberta politics!
If the continued fallout from the recording with Danielle Smith's recorded conversation with extremist pastor Artur Pawlowski wasn't enough, this week also saw multiple UCP candidates resign, a UCP Minister who bowed out of politics dance back in, an increase to the carbon tax and apparently the last of the "Last of us" in Alberta!
We break down all of this and more before we open up the conversation to our twitter spaces guests for their thoughts on the events of the week!
