Episode 8.22 - Neverendum Referendum

About this episode

The episode discusses Alberta's new referendum on separatism, its historical context, and announces changes to the show's format.

We're back with another live show and this one has a singular purpose! What the heck is going on with Alberta's new referendum on separatism and how the heck did we get here? We take a look at the history of separatism in Alberta before we work through the major events that led up to last week on a rollercoaster of a ride you not only miss, you'll want to share with your friends! Plus we announce some exciting new changes to the show's format, including a dedicated call in hour and OUR LIVE SHOW IN EDMONTON! And you can get your tickets at www.thebreakdownablive.ca!
