Episode 21: Sharing the Soapbox with Susan Wright

When Susan Wright began her blog, Susan on the Soapbox, she wanted to make a difference advocating for Albertans’ right to a strong health-care system. A decade later she has become a household name on the province’s pundit scene, and her blog on all things politics is well known in every corner of Alberta. 

With a long career in law in the rearview mirror, Susan brings a wealth of knowledge to the table that is hard to match. The Forgotten Corner welcomes Susan to the show this week for a truly in-depth chat into her 26 years working for oil and gas companies, and her transition into a political writer. 

Susan offers expert insight on how the biggest corporations think, and why some are more reluctant to change with reality than others. And our hosts pick her legal brain on the current United Conservative government, including their so-called assault on “red tape” which reads much more like an assault on personal freedoms. 

Alberta is extremely lucky to have Susan and if you’re just discovering her today, when you’re done listening to this episode, you’ll know why.
