With a little over a week until Albertans cast their ballots in the provincial referendum, hear what our political panel thinks about the first nine questions being asked. Shannon Phillips is a former Alberta NDP cabinet minister and founding partner of Meredith, Boessenkool and Phillips Policy Advisors, and Ian Brodie is a senior advisor at New West Public Affairs who once served as chief of staff for Prime Minister Stephen Harper.

Got questions about The Questions?!

Us too. And the Alberta referendum is less than two weeks away!

So we thought a convo about the 10 referendum questions -- including the challenges of understanding them -- was warranted. This week, Jenny sits down for a behind-the-scenes convo with Rukhsar Ali and Joel Dryden, two CBC Calgary reporters who've researched and written extensively about the Qs in the lead up to Voting Day on October 19th.

This is Calgary is produced by CBC and hosted by Jenny Howe.
