S1 Episode 4: Reclaiming our Stories
Alberta Unbound
05/05/20 • 19 min
Who gets to tell the story of Alberta? What are the stories Albertans tell themselves – and what are the stories that get told about them? Whoever controls those narratives controls the way Albertans see themselves and are seen by others. In Part Four of Alberta Unbound, host Paula Simons debates the stories and myths of Alberta with five provocative guests: Shannon Stubbs, the Conservative MP for the riding of Lakeland, award-winning magazine writer Omar Mouallem, Jared Wesley, a professor of political science at the University of Alberta, Doug Griffiths, an author and former Conservative provincial cabinet minister, and Cree elder and academic Diana Steinhauer.
