In this podcast, Dan Williams, Alberta's Minister of Mental Health and Addiction, shares insights on the Canadian political scene. He discusses the ongoing tension between the progressive federal government and Alberta's conservative leadership, especially in areas like energy policy and equalization payments. A key focus of the conversation is Alberta's innovative strategies for tackling homelessness and addiction, which stand in stark contrast to the less effective policies seen in other provinces. Alberta's approach combines treatment, recovery support, and community reintegration, yielding promising early results in reducing opioid overdose deaths. The discussion also addresses the politicization of Canadian institutions and emphasizes the importance for conservatives to reclaim the moral high ground on social issues.
