Ian Brodie, University of Calgary political scientist and a former chief of staff to prime minister Stephen Harper, sees a rare opportunity for Western Canada to revive economic cooperation after two decades of lost momentum. With Conservative governments now in B.C., Alberta, and Saskatchewan, he argues the provinces could work together to build the next generation of trade and energy infrastructure. But what does this new political alignment mean for constitutional reform, Indigenous rights, and Alberta's post-referendum politics? Brodie joins Alberta Edge to explain why Danielle Smith may need to rethink her re-election strategy, and why the loudest voices in politics don't necessarily speak for the broader electorate.

Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer analyze the possibility of a Canada-U.S. trade deal before the upcoming American midterm elections. They examine recent signals from Prime Minister Mark Carney and ongoing negotiations, questioning whether Canada's leverage is at its peak or if walking away from August's deal was strategic. They also explore whether any agreement will require accepting tariffs on key sectors like autos and steel, and consider the challenging political environment Carney would face selling such a compromise to Canadians.

Christy Clark, former premier of British Columbia, says the province’s newly elected Conservative government faces a daunting task of restoring fiscal discipline, attracting investment, and reviving its resource economy. A vocal supporter of premier-designate Lorne Doerkson, Clark sees new opportunities for cooperation with Alberta on LNG, oil pipelines, electricity, and other major projects, but warns that regulatory uncertainty and Indigenous rights pose significant challenges. She joins Hub Hits to discuss what it will take to turn B.C.’s economy around, and why she believes Doerkson’s focus on economic growth over culture wars could hold together the province’s broad centre-right coalition.
