Leading a party in a fight for its political life, Khan discusses how he hopes to attract Albertans’ attention in the next election with a unique platform, the prospects of a merger with the Alberta Party, and his party’s relationship with the federal Liberals.

The conversation delves into health care issues, particularly wait times for ambulance crews and whether decriminalization could be a solution to the opioid crisis. Khan also offers his take on the NDP government’s decision this week to impose mandatory production cuts in the oil sector, and raises concerns about how many billions it might costs to clean up mines, tailings ponds, orphan wells and other refuse of the energy industry.

It’s a good discussion of some of the major issues facing the province, including a few that normally don’t get a lot of airtime.
