Current Episode

In a special edition of the Western Edge, host Jason Hatcher is joined in front of a live audience with panelists Kelly Cryderman (Reporter and Columnist, The Globe and Mail), Deborah Yedlin (President and CEO, Calgary Chamber of Commerce), and Lauren Armstrong (Senior Consultant, Navigator). The panel dives into analysis and considerations of new exclusive research conducted by Navigator’s in-house research division, Discover, on the mindset of Albertans and what they want from their government. The research shows that while it’s a long road to the next provincial election in 2023, the campaign has officially begun for candidates and voters, and there’s a path to victory for both parties.
