The real purpose behind Danielle Smith's Alberta Sovereignty Act w/David Climenhaga

This week, we spoke with Alberta politics writer and commentator David Climenhaga about why Premier Danielle Smith pushed ahead with the so-called Sovereignty Act, despite legal experts tearing it to shreds and predicting it will die in the courts.

We talk about the bill's likely unconstitutionality, Smith's political calculation in ramming it through the legislature anyway, and whether it will cost the United Conservative Party the next election.
