Inform Your Vote: UCP & NDP Plans for Alberta

The Alberta election is just days away. More than a half-million people have already voted in advance polls, suggesting this election could see record-setting turnout. It's a hotly contested race, with the UCP and NDP polling neck and neck. This episode is dedicated to those of you still making up your mind. 

3:25 | Economist Dr. Trevor Tombe, journalist Drew Anderson, and Alberta Chambers CEO Shauna Feth form our Real Talk Round Table intended to Inform Your Vote. Our panelists dig into the policy of both leading parties, evaluating their plans for Alberta's economic, environmental, and energy future. What impact will raising the corporate tax rate have on jobs? Is a rate cap the best way to navigate rising electricity costs? Is carbon capture smart policy or a scam? Our experts hash out these questions and more.
