With week three of the 2023 Alberta provincial election campaign coming to a close, Rachel Emmanuel is joined by Canadian Taxpayers Federation Alberta Director Kris Sims, Crestview Strategies Senior Campaign Strategist Evan Menzies, and UCP Senior Campaign Advisor Erika Barootes to discuss the top campaign moments of the week.

UCP leader Danielle Smith announced a novel policy to deal with the addictions crisis, and the legacy media doesn’t want to talk about a new Ethics Commissioner report which found no evidence the premier’s office contacted Crown prosecutors on Covid prosecutions.

We’ll also discuss Smith’s Thursday night debate knockout.

Election Watch, a special edition of the Alberta Roundup, will run for the four-week election campaign. Tune in now!
