Geoff and Mike cast their gaze across the mighty Rockies toward guests @Barootes (co-host of the Discourse podcast) and @SPhillipsAB (former minister in Notley government) who report on the push for an oil pipeline from Alberta to B.C.'s coast and the excitable state of the federation in the Wild Rose province. In Strategy Suite, Geoff and Mike discuss the whimpering end to the legislative session, LNG dreams, the final 10 days of the Conservative race, and runaway costs of capital projects. 🏨🌄 We’re your 5-star podcast destination for B.C. politicos.

I recently joined @Barootes on the very first episode of the "How the West is Run" podcast! We had a unfiltered conversation about life in my hiatus from elected office, the very real frustrations felt here in Alberta, why I believe our regional differences can be our country's strength... and how we have to reject the way those differences have been weaponized against us. ​The fight for Alberta and a prosperous, united Canada continues! 🍁 ​Catch our full conversation here: youtu.be/rDOQLPDoft8
