When federal dollars start flowing—but skip your province entirely—it raises more than eyebrows. Rob Breakenridge joins Shane Hewitt for a sharp, candid take on why Alberta’s absence from Ottawa’s major project announcements might be more calculated than careless.

They cover the behind-the-scenes signals between Ottawa and Edmonton, Jason Kenney’s renewed national commentary, and what Danielle Smith might be holding back for a potential deal. Rob also questions whether Canada’s new fast-track process for big infrastructure is real—or just rebranded politics.

For anyone watching national unity, Western alienation, or energy policy, this is a conversation worth your time.
