The history of Alberta separatism

Listen to Episode

Today is the referendum in Alberta , where Albertans will cast their vote either to remain part of Canada or start the process to hold another referendum to leave ( among other ballot questions ). But this issue stretches far beyond the past few years – it goes back to before Alberta was a province of Canada. Today, we’re going through the history of the Alberta separatist movement with Tyler Dawson . He’s an opinion editor for The Globe based in Edmonton, and the author of The Republic of Alberta: An idea that won’t go away . Questions? Comments? Ideas?
