Show Notes

Former Alberta premier Rachel Notley announced she is stepping down as the head of Alberta’s NDP.

The move, expected after last spring’s election defeat to Danielle Smith’s UCP, sparks a leadership contest that could ultimately shape the progressive movement, not just in Alberta, but in Canada.

Calgary Herald columnist Don Braid joins the show to discuss Notley’s legacy, where the provincial party goes from here, and whether the former premier has ambitions beyond Alberta.
