Blue wave out west. Will Doerkson and Smith align?

A conservative alliance between B.C. premier-designate Lorne Doerkson and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith seems likely, but isn’t guaranteed. West of Centre host Kathleen Petty looks at past frosty relationships between conservative Alberta and B.C. premiers who argued over the failed Northern Gateway pipeline. With a new pipeline priority, Pacific Link, will the outcome be different? Add in a conservative government in Saskatchewan, does the West now have a bloc that will increase its influence in Confederation? Plus, two former political advisers weigh in on the path forward for western premiers. Mike McDonald was chief of staff to former B.C. premier Christy Clark and Melissa Caouette was advisor to former Alberta premier Jim Prentice. They look at how Doerkson's vision for the future differs from his predecessor, and the priorities Alberta and B.C. might share.
