YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Danielle Smith has launched a province-wide listening tour to canvas opinion on a variety of potential referendum questions. One of the issues up for debate is whether Alberta should withhold social services from some immigrants. The question is being described by an Alberta senator as xenophobic, hate mongering and un-Albertan. The Political Panel considers the strategy behind Alberta Next, and whether the blowback could overshadow the initiative. Rob Brown is joined by conservative strategist Colin Aitchison and NDP strategist Leah Ward.
