Show Notes
Panel guests this week: Cory Morgan (Western Standard columnist) and Keith Wilson (constitutional lawyer)
Today, we're looking at the anticipated memorandum of understanding signing between Premier Danielle Smith and Prime Minister Mark Carney, which could finally see the creation of a new pipeline and more.
Plus, the Mikisew Cree First Nation is suing both the province and federal government over the oilsands, which they say has damaged lands and waters while disrupting traditional practices and caused serious health impacts in their community.
And finally, a new poll commissioned by Act For Alberta found support for independence highest among First Nations respondents, something an NDP MLA accused of being “misinformation” during a session in the provincial legislature.

Fran g commented 2026-05-18 11:09:32 -0400After the 1st mou I told people that I did not want that to go through. They were appalled I would say that. I explained that it was crazy and stupid for taxpayers to pay billions for bloody carbon capture and Albertans have their carbon tax increased for years before it was even actually in the ground. Also I dont trust carnage at all, I could see him stopping it at any point. -
David Heinze commented 2026-05-16 00:13:22 -0400For a while now I have wondered if Carney might announce something before or frankly I expected just before (which still might be the case/plan) October 19 to make it look like he was expediting a pipeline only to have it stall/fail after the vote. For him, a veto by the B.C. government or 3 or 4 Chiefs would be the perfect excuse. He could continue to pretend to be doing something while actually doing nothing.
I also note that from what I heard, his so called plan for a completed pipeline is for it to be completed in 8 years. -

Angela Watt commented 2026-05-13 16:06:50 -0400Net Zero will impoverish Canada. Carney is literally destroying Canada by his own hands. -
Angela Watt commented 2026-05-13 16:05:13 -0400The MOU’s are a joke. Danielle Smith is doing us bad by signing ANYTHING with Mark Carney, the con man. He says one thing & then does the other. For example: the first MOU signed between them stated that a pipeline would be constructed if its in the national interest & then the following day he said that First Nations & B.S. would have a veto. WTF?? Independence is absolutely necessary for Alberta.
