The First Minister’s Meeting, oil prices, and Premier Rachel Notley’s performance on the national stage are where we started the discussion in this episode. Dave and Ryan also delved into the latest nomination news and what 2019 holds for Alberta politics, including when the next provincial and federal elections could be called.
We also discuss our choices for the Daveberta Best of Alberta Politics 2018 Survey.

One reply on “Episode 24: Oil, Pipelines and Alberta’s next election.”
There’s a piece of internet jargon that goes, “tl:dr”, which means “too long: didn’t read”. I’m afraid your past two podcasts can best be characterized as “tl:dl”, for “too long: didn’t listen”. I had been enjoying your pods since they first started, but I usually listen to pods in the car during my morning commute to work, and again heading home in the afternoon; but living in Grande Prairie, my commute is only about 10-12 minutes long, and so I can’t find time to listen to a roughly 90-minute podcast. I normally listen to a few other political pods, but they are very much shorter than yours have become.
Too bad, really… you are both very much in the know on Alberta politics.
