Gary Mar

Gary Mar, President of the Canada West Foundation and a former Alberta cabinet minister, teams up with Jared Wesley, a political science professor specializing in Alberta's political culture. They discuss Alberta's hypothetical independence from Canada and the complex negotiations that would follow, from treaty rewrites with Indigenous peoples to geopolitical challenges. They also explore the emotional impact of referendums, Alberta's quest for respect within Confederation, and the balancing act of maintaining its identity amid growing separatist sentiments.
