Talk Truth 08.01.24 - Michael Wagner

In this episode of Talk Truth, we welcome back Michael Wagner, senior columnist for the Western Standard, to discuss Alberta's independence movement. Michael covers his latest column and upcoming book, tracing Alberta's political history from the 1920s farmer's movement to the 2019 Wexit movement. We explore how federal policies, including Pierre Trudeau's National Energy Program and recent actions by Justin Trudeau, have fueled independence sentiments. Michael also shares insights on the potential benefits of Alberta becoming independent, such as an Alberta pension plan, and the challenges within the Canadian confederation.
