The Breakdown With Nate Pike

Show Notes

It's time for a chat on Alberta Politics with NDP Leader Naheed Nenshi!

And we get into a lot!

Corrupt Care! The Provincial Budget! Coal Mines! Healthcare! Cost of Living!

And we ask the hard question directly that has been circulating in the ether for a few weeks and get a response to the criticisms of the current Alberta NDP Leadership!

If you're able to support our legal defense fund to fight back against the $6 Million lawsuit against us by Sam Mraiche, the man who imported Vanch masks and the Turkish Tylenot as well as who hosted MLA's and Ministers in his skybox as he had business with the government...

On October 3rd, The Breakdown brought our show to Red Deer for a sold out conversation with "The Harmonious Gentlemen" where we not only did a deep dive on Danielle Smith's referendum questions, but we also had a very necessary question about the misrepresentations inside of the questions and what the questions, and how Albertans answer, says about the values of Albertans.

Time for another live Alberta Politics Roundup!

This week we start by taking a look at the recent healthcare announcement in Airdrie that is somehow a lot less than it seems before we take a look at Danielle Smith's continued defense of her divisive referendum questions. We then take a deep dive into who the divisive environment Smith has cultivated has allowed to gain in profile!
