Political Maneuvering and Economic Strategies at the Calgary Stampede

The Calgary Stampede is known as the greatest outdoor show on earth. It's a must attend event for most Calgarians, but more importantly for Canadian politicians.

It's an event that can make or break someone - from what they're wearing to how they flip pancakes.

Host Mark Day speaks to CityNews reporter Sean Amato in Alberta about why the Stampede is so important and a look at everything's that's happened this year so far.
