Jason Markusoff

In this discussion, Rosemary Barton, CBC's chief political correspondent, and Jason Markusoff, a Calgary-based political reporter, dive into the implications of a controversial energy deal between Alberta and Ottawa. They explore how this plan could bypass environmental laws to support a new oil pipeline while facing fierce opposition from Indigenous groups and B.C. Premier David Eby. The guests dissect past federal-provincial agreements, assess political motivations, and ponder whether the proposed deal will result in genuine change or remain a symbolic gesture.
