About this Episode

In a wide-ranging discussion with David Knight Legg, the parallels between the U.K.’s vote to leave the European Union and Alberta’s growing autonomy movement came into sharp focus. The lesson from Brexit, Legg argues, is not merely about trade deals or economic forecasts, it’s about culture, confidence and the limits of elite consensus.

Before the 2016 referendum, Britain’s political, media and financial establishments dismissed Leave voters as unserious or misinformed. Pollsters missed a “hidden vote” of citizens who felt it was impolite, even shameful, to express support for Brexit publicly. When the ballots were counted, the establishment was blindsided.

Something similar is brewing in Alberta.
