Happy Labor Day! And we are here to bring you a blast from the past. With the crew taking a week off we bring you an interesting interview we did with MLA Elizabeth Smith-McCrossin about the highway blockades from last year (https://globalnews.ca/news/7977126/smith-mccrossin-booted-from-caucus/).

We talk about her start in entrepreneurship, how it kick started her passion for politics, and of course we talk about the controversial highway blockade from June of last year. Additionally she addresses her departure from the Conservative party, and receiving the cold shoulder from then Premier Iain Rankin at the height of the political tension.
