decent documentary, mostly right. Some things i think were poorly represented:
- kenney wasn’t really ousted to pull this plan off he was just a shitty premier and seen as a failure to the right because of major failures like losing the keystone xl deal after spending $2b. His own caucus started hating him because his leadership style. He’s just resentful it’s smith and not him getting the attention. (Might run for federal politics)
- covid played a much smaller role in this then they make it out to be, but it was the final straw in kenney leaving.
- the forever canada petition (the anti separatist petition) was actually a petition to hold a referendum themselves despite being against the referendum, so in doing so they unintentionally triggered the referendum just based on alberta law which is why it went ahead despite initial referendum rejection in court
Other than those it was mostly right. Just wish media and politicians asked why we got here instead of how we got here.
