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!
