    Episode 8.31 - Canada Day Special Re-up with Rebecca Thomas!

    It's time to re-up this very, very special episode! Originally from June of 2025, this episode seems to have only become more relevant as Alberta has escalated tensions towards Treaty Chiefs and the province has been set careening to a separatism referendum by Danielle Smith and the UCP. 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 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! To get tickets to our July 25th live show in Edmonton, visit www.thebreakdownablive.ca!

    Episode 8.28 - June 21, 2026 Alberta Politics Roundup!

    It's another Alberta Politics roundup, and between the last week's events and the absolutely bonkers layers surrounding them... Well, it's a pretty bonkers episode. Dani's war with First Nations heats up, there's some new developments for the referendum and also the "Corrupt Care" scandal. Plus it seems like a lot of the senior leadership in Smith's government are letting the mask slide because we saw a lot of open racism from multiple members of government this week! Plus we announce our fourth guest for our live show in Edmonton, Deputy NDP Leader Rakhi Pancholi! To get tickets to that July 25th live show in Edmonton, visit www.thebreakdownablive.ca!
