The Agenda with Steve Paikin

View Transcript

Reaction out of western Canada to last week's election outcome was swift and, at times, fierce. #Wexit trended on Twitter for days, as some outraged voices in Alberta and Saskatchewan saw the Liberal minority win as the final straw, and cause to pursue a separatist exit from Canada. For voters in Ontario, who took some of the wrath, it can be a bit puzzling. To help us understand, The Agenda welcomes a panel of experts on western Canada's relationship with Ottawa.
