Ep. 374: Is it time to separate?

Guest: Barry Cooper, Professor at the University of Calgary

Forget alienation, says University of Calgary Professor Barry Cooper – “Call a referendum on separation.”

Cooper maintains it’s time for a new relationship with Ottawa, that it’s time to reset the agreement in Confederation, one that was established to ensure Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and the Northwest Territories would never have the power base needed to dictate the direction of their own territory, let alone the country.

Stuart McNish invited Professor Barry Cooper to join him for a Conversation That Matters about Alberta’s mistreatment by Ottawa from the moment it was created to now.
