Description
This October, Albertans will either vote to stay a part of Canada, or they’ll vote to leave. But whatever the outcome, we are all going to keep hearing about Alberta separatism for many, many years to come. Never has a delusion been this elevated in the province, says Nate Pike. On this episode, the host of the The Breakdown AB tests our censors as he tries to explain where the separatist movement came from, how much of it is being driven by foreign interference and how the vast majority of Albertans who are tired of this conversation need to fight back. “This asymmetrical warfare that they are playing on us needs to be responded to, and it can't be responded to with apathy.” Support independent media by becoming a Tyee Builder today.
