    Episode 8.19 - Alberta Liberal Takeover/Makeover Record Set Straight with Leader John Roggeveen!

    Two weeks ago, The Breakdown reported on a text sent out by strategist Stephen Carter that seemed to show he was in the process of orchestrating a takeover of the Alberta Liberals! Since then, Mt. Carter has been on the offense, claiming that we didn't reach out to the Liberals or their leader, that the effort was coordinated between Mr Carter and the Liberal Executive/Leader and a whole lot more! To set the record straight once and for all, we sat down with Alberta Liberal Leader John Roggeveen but we didn't stop at just the takeover question, because Thursday say the UCP issue new rules for referendum that could shut out all political parties from participation except for the UCP and the NDP! If those rules are legal... 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 8.16 - Forever Canadian with Thomas Lukaszuk!

    With separatism at the forefront of Alberta's political discussion right now, a lot of people are asking how they can possibly help in the fight to keep Alberta in Canada! To find an answer to that question, we sat down with Thomas Lukaszuk of Forever Canadian to find out more about how he's asking people to get involved as well as to set the record straight on what his goals are with the original Forever Canadian Petition despite what Danielle Smith has said in the press lately!

    Episode 8.15 - Are the UCP Gerrymandering? - with Dr Duane Bratt!

    Are Danielle Smith and the UCP about to execute their greatest subversion of democracy yet? As the boundaries of constituencies in Alberta are about to be redrawn after years of consultation, two UCP appointed members of the commission abandoned the report they signed off on and created new maps that many experts have called straight up gerrymandering. In order to try and make sense of this, we sat down with political scientist Dr Duane Bratt for a conversation on the future of democracy you don’t want to miss!

    Episode 8.12 - MLA Jodi Calahoo Stonehouse!

    With both separatism and racism on the rise, particularly with First Nations leading the charge against the separatist movement including a non-confidence vote in the UCP government, we had the privilege of sitting down with MLA Jodi Calahoo Stonehouse, who is the first First Nations woman to be elected to the ALberta Legislature and who witnessed the treatment of First Nations Chiefs inside and outside of the Alberta Legislature this week. Not only that, we also get into the complexities of development and the importance of honoring the Treaties for all Albertans peace and economic security!

    Episode 8.10 - March 1st, 2026 Alberta Politics Roundup!

    Time for another Alberta Politics Roundup and this week we have two deep dives! To start with we take a look at Danielle Smith's war against judges, including the straight up falsehoods, misinformation and straight up propaganda that both Smith and her Justice Minister, Mickey Amery have been engaging in. From there we have a deep dives on Smith's immigration claims which are also well into the realm of propaganda before we get to the big question... With Danielle Smith taking away rights from the vulnerable and unions while deliberately spreading misinformation, disinformation and propaganda, is she using the same populist tools that dictators and oppressors have used, including tactics used by the third Reich?

    Episode 8.09 - Alberta Recall Panel!

    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?

    Episode 8.07 - Danielle Smith's Bizarre Greenland Connection with Desmog's Geoff Dembicki!

    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!
