Good Talk -- Do Canadians Care About Alberta?

And that is left, and it's not just at that conference or in that room, that is leaving many conservatives to say, what can we do about this?

And the notion, I picked up something else from the speech that I talked with

The Bridge with Peter Mansbridge
Good Talk -- Do Canadians Care About Alberta?

Where is he going on this?

The Bridge with Peter Mansbridge
Good Talk -- Do Canadians Care About Alberta?

That he is fighting to keep the elites who are taking over Ottawa from doing whatever nefarious thing that they are doing.

The Bridge with Peter Mansbridge
Good Talk -- Do Canadians Care About Alberta?
