It's been two weeks since our last Alberta Politics Roundup so there's a lot to catch up on!

We start with a look at the recent changes to AISH before we catch up on what's going on with water in Alberta, take a look at Premier Danielle Smith's weaponization of immigration, the Alberta Next Panel, the new (ish?) PC Party, books bans and the recent court injunction stopping Danielle Smith's anti-choice healthcare actions!

With the UCP Government rolling out its wide reaching book ban policy, we're presenting a special mashup of our coverage up until the ban was fully revealed.

This includes the June 1st segment addressing the underlying issues behind the bans and how they're almost certainly going to cause harm AND the June 22nd segment with our FOIP that revealed that the UCP not only used American and religious book ban lists to inform their policy, but also how the claims they made about the schools these books were in were not just inflammatory, they were profoundly misleading!

Let's talk separatism!

Or rather, let's talk about the fight against separatism with the man leading the charge to ensure that Alberta remains in Canada, Thomas, Lukaszuk!

With the recent approval of his referendum petition question, we sat down with Thomas to get the inside story on why he decided to bring the referendum question forward and what’s next!

But we don’t stop there, because the separatism question really opens the door for a conversation on Alberta Politics, Danielle Smith’s “leadership” and what is all at stake!
