Derek FildebrandtHOST
But people who are here for many generations, they, they have a fair claim to be more Albertan than me.
Max FawcettSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
In a piece Phil de Brandt wrote for Paul Wells' Substack that was ostensibly representing the pro-separatist view, the mask once again slipped.
Max FawcettSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
In his attempt to document the various ways Ottawa has wronged or victimized Alberta, he argued that rapid mass migration dilutes our voting power.
Max FawcettSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Given that federal seats are reallocated every decade on the basis of population growth, and that Alberta has seen some of the most significant inflows of immigrants as a percentage of the provincial population over the last four decades, it's unclear how rapid mass migration could be diluting our voting power.

Shannon PhillipsHOST
It was, uh, it was, um, [lips smack] it was good.
Shannon PhillipsHOST
The premier did get booed at one point, um, whe- I would, uh, hot take, I would say rightfully so, when in a, uh, room of 300 people who paid good money to see Paul Wells, um, she blamed the media for the lack of clarity in her position on, um, if Alberta should stay in Canada or go.
Shannon PhillipsHOST
So she'd get a boo.

Vassy KapelosHOST
That's the incoming Premier of Quebec, the leader of the PQ Party, Paul St-Pierre Plamondon, uh, talking a little bit about something the rest of Canada is now paying very close attention to, which is his promise to hold a referendum on separation in Quebec, but not before, as he said just before the campaign got underway, Donald Trump leaves office.
Vassy KapelosHOST
I'm here with the Daily Debrief panel, Laura D'Angelo, Jeff Rutledge, and Paul Wells.
Vassy KapelosHOST
Paul, I'll, I'll, I'll kick things off with you.

It essentially obliterates, uh, any hope that, uh, Paul St-Pierre Plamondon might have had of holding a referendum in this mandate.
