From Ballot to Change: How Alberta's Referendum Could Lead to Constitutional Amendment

This October, Albertans head to the polls to vote on some big constitutional questions: abolishing the Senate, picking provincial judges, and even flipping the script on which level of government gets the final say when laws clash. But what does a "yes" vote actually do? And what would it take for any of these proposals to become reality? This episode cuts through the political noise to break down what's on the ballot, how the rules for changing the Constitution work, and why it all matters. Our host, Emilia Yassiri discusses this topic with Professor Emeritus Nigel Bankes of the University of Calgary.
