After months of build-up, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith finally unveiled the legislation that was key to her leadership win.

The Alberta Sovereignty Within a United Canada Act may have had a softer name than initially proposed, but it was met with controversy over how it would operate.

Calgary Sun columnist Rick Bell joins the show to discuss what’s in the new bill, why some aspects of it have forced the Smith government to walk it back, and how it could be applied to federal law.
