Description

Welcome to Episode 35 of the Rob Breakenridge Show

We start with the breaking news from Monday evening, as the Alberta Teachers Association has voted overwhelmingly rejected the province’s offer. That sets the stage for a teachers’ strike to begin next week. We’ll hear what the ATA president had to say in response to the vote and how the Alberta government is reacting.

Also, we’ll delve into the debate around Alberta’s push for greater powers - or more “sovereignty” - within Canada. That’s been a focus of the Alberta Next panel, which held its final in-person town hall Monday night in Calgary. We’ll be joined by panelist Michael Binnion - he’s also written a new paper on Alberta could flex its legal and constitutional muscles to assert greater power.

Plus, a new book on the leaders who shaped this country and why this history matters. Author and historian J.D.M. Stewart will be with us to discuss his new book, “The Prime Ministers: Canada’s Leaders and the Nation They Shaped.”
