The Breakdown With Nate Pike

On October 3rd, The Breakdown brought our show to Red Deer for a sold out conversation with "The Harmonious Gentlemen" where we not only did a deep dive on Danielle Smith's referendum questions, but we also had a very necessary question about the misrepresentations inside of the questions and what the questions, and how Albertans answer, says about the values of Albertans.

In one of our longest episodes in a while (and that's saying something), we unpack all of the questions, their subtext and perhaps most importantly, the history behind them that Danielle Smith and the UCP seem to want most Albertans to ignore.

Time for another live Alberta Politics Roundup!

This week we start by taking a look at the recent healthcare announcement in Airdrie that is somehow a lot less than it seems before we take a look at Danielle Smith's continued defense of her divisive referendum questions. We then take a deep dive into who the divisive environment Smith has cultivated has allowed to gain in profile!

On August 29th, The Breakdown brought our show to Calgary, live for almost 200 people. We had an incredible lineup of guests who not only shed light on the biggest issues facing Alberta’s democracy but also presented potential solutions. Remarkably, two provincial party leaders attended, offering insights into what could be done.

We’re thrilled to present “Part 5” of that show—an in depth conversation with NDP Leader Naheed Nenshi!

In this conversation, Naheed Nenshi offers up his vision for Alberta, what he believes is the pathway forward to undo the societal damage the UCP have done and how he plans to cut through the noise that is today's political discourse.

And!Both he and Tory Party leader Peter Guthrie are asked to directly address the question "Are Trans Women Women?"

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!
