The Brief: How will the B.C. election impact Albertans?

What happens in British Columbia has a huge impact on Alberta, and a lot is happening in B.C. as the Oct. 19 election approaches. Top B.C. political commentators Allie Blades and Rob Shaw join us for a riveting discussion about the rapidly evolving policy and political landscape and the implications for Alberta.  Our guests provide an in-depth look at the unique dynamics and challenges that have emerged for the reshaped party landscape – with the BC United Party halting its campaign, merging with the B.C. Conservatives, and setting up a close contest with the BC NDP. We lean into some of the policy proposals and differences between David Eby's New Democrats and John Rustad's Conservatives and what these shifts could mean for Alberta.  We also take a closer look at the interconnected politics of Western Canada, examining how B.C.'s shifting public opinion and policy environment might align with Alberta's stance on pivotal issues like resource development, emissions policies, and even addiction recovery.  About the Business Council of Alberta The Business Council of Alberta was founded on a simple idea: to make life better for all Albertans. We believe that business has an important role in improving society, and that when business does well, we all do well. We work with the chief executives and leading entrepreneurs of Alberta's largest enterprises to understand the big, long-term challenges that Albertans are facing and work with industry, government, and civil society to solve these problems and build shared prosperity for every person who calls Alberta home.
