In this special, extended-cut video edition of the Full Comment podcast, Rex Murphy sits down with Alberta Premier Danielle Smith to discuss how years of attacks against the province from environmentalists, including those in the federal government, have hardened her resolve, as the new premier, to fight back. Smith also explains why Confederation worked so well for so long, and how Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has badly damaged the arrangement. And she talks about why Canadians, who are facing higher costs and lower economic growth from Liberal policies, should be joining her in her campaign to bring balance back to the federal-provincial relationship .
