They spoke with our B.C Director Kris Sims and Prairie Director Todd MacKay about how things can improve.

We've got a new interview for you. Danielle Smith is a former Member of the Legislative Assembly of Alberta, and served as leader of the Wildrose Party from 2009 to 2014, and the host of an Alberta-wide talk radio show on 770 CHQR Calgary.
