In this week’s episode of The Line: Alberta Podcast, Rob Breakenridge sits down for a wide-ranging conversation with Calgary Confederation Liberal MP and Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Corey Hogan.

Despite hopes for a Liberal breakthrough in the recent federal election, Hogan was the only Liberal to prevail amid the blue Conservative sea that is Calgary and was one of only two Liberals elected in the province of Alberta.

We discuss his decision to enter that pivotal campaign and how they managed to grind out a victory. We also delve into the aftermath of the campaign and the sudden prominence and responsibility that landed on Hogan as the lone Liberal MP from Calgary. 

Hogan also shares his thoughts on the challenges facing Alberta and the rest of the country right now and the big decisions now facing the government. Plus, Hogan addresses the Alberta-Ottawa relationship and why he felt compelled to speak out against the separatists.
