This special episode of Alberta Edge explores the Calgary Stampede as more than just a rodeo. It's a political, cultural, and business gathering that draws Canadians from coast to coast.

Host Ryan Hastman speaks with former Ontario PC leader Tim Hudak and member of the Calgary Stampede strategy committee Anila Umar about what the Stampede means for locals and visitors alike, how it fosters a sense of belonging, and why it matters nationally. The guests reflect on Western dress codes, the event's role as a political equalizer, and the importance of Indigenous participation.
