After initially announcing retaliatory tariffs against the United States, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has now done a complete 180°—agreeing to border security spending and the designation of cartels as terrorists. This sudden realignment with President Trump’s demands could avert a major trade war, but it’s igniting fierce debate at home. Join us for an unfiltered panel discussion with:

Whistle Stop Cafe's Chris Scott and Alberta lawyer Jeffrey Rath, whose fiery new piece “ALBERTA WANTS OUT! An Open Letter to Danielle Smith” is sparking province-wide debate, were on stage for an uncensored, audience-driven discussion about whether Alberta should chart its course.
What’s in the Letter & Why It Matters
Leadership at a Crossroads: Rath says Premier Smith must remove Kenney-era ministers implicated in pandemic misfeasance or risk losing Albertans’ trust.
COVID Accountability Gap: There has been no public inquiry, no retroactive help for shuttered businesses, and no action on vaccine injury concerns.
“Team Alberta,” Not “Team Canada”: He slams Ottawa’s 25 % retaliatory tariffs and Smith’s support for making everything from trucks to tomatoes pricier in Alberta.

When the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms was introduced in 1982, the drafters inserted a crucial statement at the very outset:
“Whereas Canada is founded upon principles that recognize the supremacy of God and the rule of law: …”

It was not a ceremonial “preamble” but a constant framing principle, meant to remind legislators, judges, and citizens alike that the Charter’s rights have a transcendent source.
