The Breakdown With Nate Pike

Here we go!

On August 29th, The Breakdown brought our show to Calgary in front of a live audience of almost 200 people with a group of amazing guests that not only helped to define the biggest issues inside Alberta's democracy but with the attendance of not one but TWO provincial party leaders, what some possible solutions can look like!

We're proud to present "Part 2" of that show, a conversation on the state of healthcare in Alberta from the very front lines with ER Physician Dr Paul Parks!

To get tickets to our October 3rd live show in Red Deer where we're teaming up with a few friends to get into the upcoming Alberta referendum, visit www.thebreakdownablive.ca !

If you're able to support our legal defense fund to fight back against the $6 Million lawsuit against us by Sam Mraiche, the man who imported Vanch masks and the Turkish Tylenot as well as who hosted MLA's and Ministers in his skybox as he had business with the government...

Economist Jim Stanford, Director of the Centre for Future Work, recently reviewed 3 detailed economic analysis done by three other economist to put together an easy to access and understand report on the catastrophic impact that separatism would have on Alberta's economy.

There's a lot in this conversation, including the divergence of oil and gas profits and oil and gas jobs, but the bottom line of all of it is that it's the average Albertan who would get hurt the most, and that's with so much left that is utterly unpredictable!

What do an Alberta online university, a union grievance and a parent being faced with the choice of abandoning their child or amputating their child's legs have in common?

In 7 years of doing interviews, this is easily one of the most bonkers ones we have ever done!

We sit down with Dave Powell of the Athabasca University Faculty Association to make sense of their recent post https://aufa.ca/blog/2026/7/23/athabasca-university-forces-professor-to-choose-between-her-job-her-family-or-her-childs-legs and explain what in the heck is even happening!

If you want to write a letter to Athabasca to ask them to stop the threats to fire her, you can do that with this link here: https://win.newmode.net/canadianassociationofuniversityteachers/callonathabascatoreinstatedrgrafandlethergetthebestcareforherson
