It's been ten years to the day since Rachel Notley's NDP ended a 40+ year Conservative dynasty at the Alberta Legislature. In this episode, the province's 17th premier reflects on how that win changed politics on the prairies forever. 

3:30 | But first...does separating from the federal NDP help the Alberta NDP's chances next election? Could Alberta ever separate from Canada? How would an NDP provincial government address Alberta's unemployment issue? Current Alberta NDP leader Naheed Nenshi joins us on the heels of the party's annual convention in Edmonton. 

22:00 | Chief Billy Morin, the first Indigenous Conservative MP in Edmonton's history, talks to us about Alberta sovereignty and treaty rights, First Nations' investment in energy projects, and Pierre Poilievre's plan to seek a Commons seat via byelection in the Battle River-Crowfoot riding.  

39:30 | Former Alberta premier Rachel Notley looks back ten years to one of the biggest upsets in Canadian political history, tells us how she feels about the death of the carbon tax and the return of union and corporate political donations, and tells us who she'd endorse as next leader of the federal NDP. 

1:19:00 | Real Talker Brandon thought the story of Randy the Guinea Pig would make for a perfect Positive Reflection...and we agree! Positive Reflections is presented weekly on Real Talk by Solar by Kuby.
