    In this episode we discuss the history of conservatism here in Alberta and where it comes from.

    Ever wonder why talk of Alberta seperation is a thing? We dive into where it's roots come from and the Firewall Letter of 2001 that lays out a roadmap for how Alberta can take control of certain things within its constitutional autority and why it should. This topics covered in that letter have been discussed over and over since then, and is even now discussed as part of the newly created Alberta Next Panel, and lay out a roadmap for analyzing the topics covered by this panel as an Alberta Series where we will discuss them in upcoming episodes.

    We also discuss the reimergence of the PC Party here in Alberta and what challenged are faced with bringing it back.
