Pickering Councillor Lisa Robinson joins Jason Lavigne for a frank discussion about municipal overreach in Ontario and why Albertans should care. From “strong-mayor” powers and integrity-commissioner sanctions to media narratives and election integrity, Robinson lays out how local governance can drift away from democratic accountability, and what Alberta can do differently as it debates self-determination.

In this episode:

* What “strong-mayor” powers mean on the ground—and why they matter to Alberta
* Integrity commissioners, year-long pay sanctions, and the chilling effect on dissent
* Media pressure vs. balanced reporting
* Electronic vs. paper ballots, voter ID, and safeguarding elections
* Border security, provincial jurisdiction, and the stakes of an Alberta referendum
* How an Alberta “Yes” would ripple through Ontario and what a “No” would signal

Why it matters:
As Alberta moves toward a clear conversation on sovereignty and self-determination, Robinson’s experience offers a warning and a roadmap for keeping power answerable to the people.
