The premier is now Dave Hancock, but he has said that will only be interim, meaning we have a race on our hands!

With a leadership race occupying everyone’s attention, will anything get done? Who’s interested in being the next leader? What names should we expect to see in the race? Can the next leader pull off a victory given all of the issues the party has faced recently? We discuss those questions and more.

Episode 31: Can Alison Redford survive? http://www.mackandcheese.ca/2014/03/25/episode-31-can-alison-redford-survive/ http://www.mackandcheese.ca/2014/03/25/episode-31-can-alison-redford-survive/#respond Wed, 26 Mar 2014 03:22:21 +0000 http://www.mackandcheese.ca/?p=140 We recorded our 31st episode last week, the day before Alison Redford announced that she would be resigning as premier of Alberta. We decided to post it anyway, for posterity. Next week our episode will feature a post-resignation discussion!

With all the turmoil facing Alison Redford and her party, we decided it was only right to add our thoughts to the mix. Where did Redford go wrong? Can she survive the current crisis? If she can’t survive it, can the party? Is “eating your own young” a good strategy? We discussed those questions and more.

Episode 25: Premier Redford’s Leadership Review http://www.mackandcheese.ca/2013/11/20/episode-25-premier-redfords-leadership-review/ http://www.mackandcheese.ca/2013/11/20/episode-25-premier-redfords-leadership-review/#comments Thu, 21 Nov 2013 05:54:22 +0000 http://www.mackandcheese.ca/?p=116 In our twenty-fifth episode, we discuss Premier Alison Redford and the PC Party leadership review she faces later this week. An estimated 1500 voting delegates will converge on Red Deer on Friday and Saturday for the Progressive Conservative Association of Alberta AGM and one of the things they’ll vote on is Premier Redford’s performance.

After a series of missteps since winning the election last year, there’s a small but loud group of people that would like to see some change at the top. How likely is it that Premier Redford will survive the leadership review? If, as expected, she does, what then? Will there be any other fallout? We discuss those questions and more in this more provincially-focused episode.

Graham was right on the money with his prediction for the outcome of the municipal election – will he do it again with his prediction on Redford’s leadership review?
