Alberta Separation Referendum Compared to Brexit by Mark Carney | Brian Lilley

Political commentator Brian Lilley joins Bridge City News to break down the growing controversy surrounding Alberta’s proposed separation referendum after Prime Minister Mark Carney compared it to Brexit and warned of major economic consequences. The discussion also covers the fallout from the Cowichan land ruling in British Columbia and concerns that Indigenous land title cases could weaken property rights protections for homeowners. Brian explains why a recent House of Commons motion calling for stronger property rights failed to pass. Plus, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Ontario are backing a Supreme Court challenge against Ottawa’s Liberal gun buyback program, while new tensions emerge between Canada and the United States over decisions by the CRTC and Bill C-22. The conversation also touches on rumours that Steven Guilbeault could leave the Liberal caucus over the federal government’s new Alberta energy and pipeline agreement.
