About this episode
The episode discusses the impact of AI-generated content on Alberta's political narratives and the spread of misinformation.
There’s a lot of “slop” online right now… and some of it is starting to shape real-world conversations. In this episode, Brittlestar and Lisa unpack the rise of AI-generated content pushing Alberta separation and 51st state narratives — much of it coming from inauthentic sources designed to generate clicks, not clarity. They explore how these videos work, why they spread so quickly, and how algorithms can blur the line between curiosity and influence. Along the way, they look at the broader context… including recent comments about Canada from high-profile figures, and what the data actually says about the country’s stability and quality of life. It’s a conversation about misinformation, motivation, and the very real consequences when people are sold simple answers to complex problems. Or, put another way… Who’s really benefiting from all this?
