I had a great time catching up with Leighton Grey right after he had me on his show (Watch here)—we jumped straight into NHL playoffs talking about Colorado peaking too early, Vegas’s smart construction, and the fact that President’s Trophy winners rarely win the Cup (last one was Chicago in 2013). We talked Oilers management frustrations, the emotional firing of Knoblauch after back-to-back finals runs, Holland’s methodical approach versus recent upheaval, and the bigger role of ownership and stability. Then we shifted to the big topic: Alberta’s independence referendum push, Danielle Smith’s calm federalist strategy of enforcing constitutional sovereignty while keeping options open, the Liberal House of Cards under Carney, and why this moment matters for the whole country. Leighton nailed the deeper stakes—restoring real federalism versus federal overreach—and we both agreed Albertans need to stay strong, discerning, and emotionally engaged as the full-court press ramps up. Always enjoy my chats with Leighton that leave me (and hopefully listeners) with fresh insights.
