The stakes have never been higher for the people of Battleriver-Crowfoot and for the future of Canadian politics. With an August 18 by-election looming in Alberta’s conservative heartland, local independent candidate Bonnie Critchley is taking a stand for her neighbours against Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre, who has parachuted into the riding in hopes of getting a seat back in Parliament after being beaten in the election by Bruce Fanjoy in his Ottawa area riding of Carleton. As a retired combat veteran and horse breeder, Bonnie has built a centrist platform to represent the people of her home riding and unpacks her policies on the podcast.

In a candid and straightforward interview, Bonnie addresses gun control, climate change, Alberta separation, the notion of becoming the 51st state, anger at Ottawa, human rights and speaks out against the Long Ballot Initiative protest in the by-election.

Bonnie believes in Canadian unity and the importance of engaging with one another, despite our differences. She challenges not just Poilievre, but also Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and the destructive influences of the Trump regime.

This is a call to action for voters who are tired of politics as usual, seeking a leader with integrity who will prioritize the community's needs over party lines. Join Bonnie Critchley in her fight for a better Alberta and a stronger Canada.
