Smiths UCP “Has No Mandate” // Defenders of the Eastern Slopes

Alberta's referendum was "undemocratic and unfair," and Premier Danielle Smith has no mandate to pursue any changes relating to the results, says Dr. Duff Conacher, co-founder of Democracy Watch, who joins Jespo in our feature interview (8:30) presented by Mercedes-Benz Edmonton West. Real Talkers let us know what they think in our live chat (29:00) powered by Park Power.

Later in the episode, Colin Smith joins us from "Bear Camp" where the Defenders of the Eastern Slopes (43:30) have been for more than a month to stop in an effort to stop clear-cut logging in the region.
