    2025/06/21

Crouch opens up about her political roots, the mentorship of Premier Danielle Smith, and why she thinks Nenshi’s Calgary record and past comments about Edmonton could cost him the Alberta NDP’s safest seat. She also shares what voters are telling her at the doors, the issue that’s resonating most with locals, and why she believes the NDP is taking the riding for granted.

    Edmonton’s controversial bike lane expansion hits some democratic speed bumps
    2025/05/24
    Residents from several Edmonton neighbourhoods are formally requesting the Alberta government intervene to halt a bike lane expansion, calling it undemocratic, unsafe, and fiscally irresponsible. Meanwhile, a new anti-separatist group has filed a referendum application to ask Albertans if they want to remain in Canada, as citizen-initiated referendum activity continues to grow across the province. Alberta’s government is also fast-tracking 11 school projects to keep pace with immigration-fuelled growth, and has launched the New North America Initiative — the only dedicated Canada-U.S. policy hub on the continent.

  • Smith slams Carney’s cabinet, warns of renewed anti-oil agenda

    Smith slams Carney’s cabinet, warns of renewed anti-oil agenda
    2025/05/17
    Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is warning that Prime Minister Mark Carney’s newly unveiled cabinet signals a continuation of Ottawa’s anti-resource agenda. She also called on new Environment Minister Julie Dabrusin to reject misleading claims made by her predecessor, Steven Guilbeault, about pipeline capacity and oil demand. She said Guilbeault’s recent remarks were “misleading and destructive.” The Alberta Prosperity Project, an Alberta pro-independence group, revealed the official wording of its proposed separation referendum: “Do you agree that the province of Alberta shall become a Sovereign Country and cease to be a province of Canada?” All that and more on this week’s episode of The Alberta Roundup with Isaac Lamoureux.

  • First Nations can’t veto Alberta separation vote

    First Nations can’t veto Alberta separation vote
    2025/05/12
    Legal experts say First Nations leaders cannot legally block a citizen-led Alberta separation vote — even if treaties are involved. Premier Danielle Smith responded to the backlash this week, reaffirming that no referendum can infringe on constitutional or treaty rights — but also emphasizing that if 177,000 Albertans sign a petition, the province must respect the result. Smith also told Ontario Premier Doug Ford to butt out of Alberta’s business after he criticized Western separatism, saying she doesn’t tell him how to run his province and expects the same respect in return. An exclusive True North investigation also profiles the key players leading Alberta’s growing sovereignty movement, from the Alberta Prosperity Project to Take Back Alberta and several newly energized political parties.

    2025/04/27
    Canadians head to the polls tomorrow, and Alberta is poised to play a key role in shaping the outcome. Nearly 27 per cent of Albertans cast ballots during the advance voting period — one of the highest rates in the country. Polling projections show Alberta remaining a Conservative stronghold, with most ridings expected to go blue. Edmonton Centre remains one of the few battlegrounds in the province after embattled former Liberal cabinet minister Randy Boissonnault chose not to run again. Meanwhile, Alberta oil is seeing record exports to China as U.S. trade tensions escalate. The shift draws fresh attention to Mark Carney’s energy policies and his Chinese ties.
