Show Notes
Who would have thought that a committee meeting would bring even more scandals to the forefront of Alberta Politics?
Nonetheless, here we are and we're breaking down the secret 7 star hotel stays, the golden cat and the rest! Plus, we take a look at the SCS closures and the bizarre set of coincidences that raise real questions about Alberta premier Danielle's Smith's podcasting habits with a deep dive on the attempts to smear former AHS CEO Athana Mentzelopolous!
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...

More from The Breakdown With Nate Pike
On Monday October 19th, while still reeling from the tragedy at CFB Wainwright, Albertans will have their last chance to vote on not only the future of our province and of Canada, but also what Albertan values even are.
Welcome to Episode 8.56, a conversation on the UCP’s strip mining of Alberta’s healthcare via dual practice billing and private diagnostic tests!
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!
On August 29th, The Breakdown brought our show to Calgary, live for almost 200 people. We had an incredible lineup of guests who not only shed light on the biggest issues facing Alberta’s democracy but also presented potential solutions. Remarkably, two provincial party leaders attended, offering insights into what could be done.
