This October, Albertans head to the polls to vote on some big constitutional questions: abolishing the Senate, picking provincial judges, and even flipping the script on which level of government gets the final say when laws clash. But what does a "yes" vote actually do? And what would it take for any of these proposals to become reality? This episode cuts through the political noise to break down what's on the ballot, how the rules for changing the Constitution work, and why it all matters. Our host, Emilia Yassiri discusses this topic with Professor Emeritus Nigel Bankes of the University of Calgary.

The Building Canada Act is a new federal law (enacted June 2025) that allows certain major infrastructure projects to be designated as being in the “national interest” and fast-tracked through approvals. Instead of navigating multiple permits and reviews sequentially, a designated project gets a single, consolidated authorization with conditions - effectively a one-stop federal approval process. This streamlining is meant to cut red tape and build nation‑building projects “at speeds not seen in generations,” from ports and railways to pipelines, mines, and clean energy facilities.


Going forward, Canadians will be watching how the first projects chosen under this Act unfold. In late 2025, the government began referring initial projects (from critical mineral mines to port expansions) to the Major Projects Office for consideration. Will this new fast-track system deliver infrastructure “faster, responsibly, and sustainably” as promised? Or will it face push back and unintended consequences?
