This week on the Alberta Roundup, Rachel Emmanuel picks out the biggest winners and losers from Premier Danielle Smith’s cabinet announcement on Friday. Notable appointments include former justice minister Kaycee Madu appointed as Deputy Premier, and leadership contest rival Brian Jean appointed as Minister of Jobs, Economy and Northern Development. Travis Toews is once again the finance minister.

Also on the show, Rachel discusses the latest in the ‘apology wars’ taking over Alberta politics. Smith apologized this week for her past comments on Ukraine, and now the UCP is demanding NDP leader Rachel Notley condemn Manitoba NDP leader Wab Kinew who was invited to speak at the Alberta NDP convention this weekend. Kinew pled guilty to assaulting a cab driver in 2004.

To wrap up the show, Rachel discusses the latest city of Calgary proposal to spend over $160 million on electric buses.
