In this episode of Hub Politics, Amanda Galbraith, co-founder and president of Oyster Group, and David Coletto, founder and chair of Abacus Data, join Sean Speer to discuss Alberta's historic referendum on independence and its implications for Canadian politics. They examine how Prime Minister Carney's alliance with Premier Smith and his intervention strengthened federalist sentiment, the muddled mandate on provincial ballot questions, and the threat separatist forces pose to the UCP. They also discuss conservative movement transformation and British Columbia's election, where the Conservatives appear poised for an unprecedented victory.
