YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Alberta’s minister of justice and premier are calling on the province’s chief electoral officer to reverse course on a decision that could prevent a referendum on separation. The officer is asking a judge to see if a proposed referendum question would violate the Constitution. The Political Panel tackles why the government is opposed to the question being vetted, and what that says about the independence of the referendum process. CBC’s Rob Brown is joined by Calgary pollster Janet Brown and Liberal strategist Sabrina Grover.
