A Prairie dust-up exploded this week between Saskatchewan and Alberta over vehicle licence plates on Saskatchewan highway worksites.
The issue suddenly emerged a day before long-time Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall bid farewell to politics.
Episode 6 of The Ledge talks to CBC Saskatchewan reporter Adam Hunter to learn what's behind the surprising trade issue.
- Sask. contractors say Alberta protectionism started licence plate spat
- 'Brad Wall needs to smarten up,' says Alberta trade minister in spat over licence plate policy
- 'We won't be backing off,' Brad Wall says of Alberta government ultimatum over plate policy
We also look at efforts to crack down on political action committees in Alberta, and how the Liberals argue the government is going far enough — plus some rambling tales from late-night legislative sittings.
We'll also find out why the fall sitting has been extended nearly a week.
