The Breakdown With Nate Pike

Alberta is the land of recall petitions right now!

But with most of the focus on whether or not recalls are successful, there’s a lot that’s being overlooked in the conversation.

We sat down with three recall organizers to hear from them as to what made them decide to initiate recall petitions, what the experience has been like and perhaps most importantly, when the recalls are done is this the end of their activism or just the beginning?

It's time for another Alberta Politics Roundup!There's a grab bag of things going on with Alberta Politics and we try to cover a bunch of them!
What does the new Legislative calendar have to say? Are overdoses being underreported? What's going on with the Tory Party?

AND!

We have a double deep dive on both Danielle SMith's attempts to consolidate power by demonizing the courts as well as a deep dive on the conspiracy theories behind some of the separatist movement leaders and why they shouldn't be dismissed!

We're recovering from an absolutely bonkers week in legal land, so instead of a live show, we're excited to bring you a special interview!

Recently, we got to sit down with Geoff Dembicki from "Desmog" to talk about their recent story on Danielle Smith's bizarre ties to the US governor who was tasked by Trump to oversee the takeover of Greenland.

No, really. It's a legit thing.

Geoff explains it all and we get into the bigger security implications Alberta and Canada should be thinking about right now!

Last weekend we leaked a document that detailed dozens of examples of patients who were unable to get the care they needed in the time they needed it with at least six of those cases tragically resulting in preventable deaths.

The compiler of those real cases was ER physician Dr Paul Parks, and he sat down with us to discuss those cases, the realities of emergency medicine in Alberta right now, why the government proposed solutions just aren’t good enough and a whole lot more!
