Barry Cooper, influential political scientist and one of the intellectual architects of Alberta's sovereignty movement, says Alberta independence is no longer a question of if, but when. In this episode of Alberta Edge, Cooper explains why he believes repeated attempts to reform Confederation have failed, why Alberta's grievances remain unresolved, and why the most consequential question on the October referendum ballot may not be the one on separation at all, but the proposal to fundamentally rebalance the constitutional relationship between Ottawa and the provinces.
