Treason? For Letting Albertans Vote?
About this episode
The episode discusses the implications of labeling Albertans' questions about their future as 'treason' and emphasizes the importance of democratic debate.
Albertans are being told that asking questions about their own future might be “treason.” That should bother everyone. This episode is not about attacking First Nations people. Treaty rights matter. Consultation matters. History matters. But political leaders do not get a free pass when they use dangerous words to scare Albertans away from a democratic referendum conversation. Danielle Smith, the Alberta referendum, October 19, Ottawa, democracy, treason, political grandstanding — it all connects. The real question is simple: Are Albertans allowed to debate their future, or only when the political class approves of the conversation? Alberta’s future should be decided by Albertans. Not Ottawa. Not political theatre. Not intimidation. Albertans. Listen now and decide for yourself. Support Our Mission Here
