    Episode 7.22 - Canada Day Special with Poet Rebecca Thomas!

    This episode is a very, very special episode! With relations between the government of Alberta and First Nations at an arguable low with Treaty Chiefs expressing deep frustration and hurt from the way that the province is treating First Nations and the Treaties, we are extremely excited to present this extremely important conversation with Mi'kmaq poet Rebecca Thomas! We are extremely grateful to finally make this conversation a reality and it cuts to the core of what Canadian Identity is and what it could look like. For The Breakdown, this conversation is for me at least a love letter to Canada that is also based in accountability, and it cuts to the core of what Canadian Identity is and what it could look like. You are not going to want to miss the ending of this episode folks! 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...

    Episode 7.21 - June 22, 2025 Alberta Politics Roundup with ALL the FOIPS!

    We're back after two weeks and on this Alberta Politics Roundup we have a lot to catch up on! We start off with a look at Danielle Smith and the UCP's very bad day in Fort Macleod before we take a look at the changes to seniors drug coverage and COVID vaccination coverage that were quietly introduced over the last few days. From there we do a deep dive in Dani's health care restructuring before be talk about our recent FOIP result on Halal mortgages! We follow all of that up with our recent FOIP results on the book ban before we get into the results of a third FOIP that puts another piece in the puzzle of the whole NDP named "Corrupt Care" scandal. And on the topic of corrupt care...
