Episode 8.55 - Alberta's Referendum - Live In Red Deer with "The Harmonious Gentlemen"!
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.If you can support our legal defence fund in fighting back against the $6 million lawsuit filed by Sam Mraiche, the man responsible for importing Vanch masks and Turkish Tylenol, as well as hosting MLA’s and Ministers in his skybox for government business, please consider donating at www.savethebreakdownab.ca.As always, if you enjoy the content we create at The Breakdown, please consider becoming a monthly supporter on our Patreon site at www.patreon.com/thebreakdownab.
