Early signs of what might define Alberta’s next election

Political strategists Keith McLaughlin and Amber Ruddy take stock of Danielle Smith’s record and Naheed Nenshi’s opposition as Alberta enters the final year before the next provincial election. With the referendum behind them, can the UCP refocus on the economy and bread-and-butter issues? Can the NDP capitalize on frustrations over health care and education while building its own economic credibility? From proposed oilsands royalty concessions and controversial electoral boundaries to the lingering political fallout from separatism, they unpack the issues that could shape the next 11 months.

Note: This conversation was recorded ahead of the province’s royalty announcement.
