About this episode
Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre's challenging summer, as Prime Minister Mark Carney secures major wins on pipelines and energy policy in Alberta. They analyze growing unrest within Conservative caucus, including another MP's departure to the Senate, and question what policy differentiation remains for the opposition.
In the second half, they discuss concerns about Alberta embracing "Laurentian Capitalism," questioning whether market-based resistance to federal intervention is eroding.
