The Breakdown With Nate Pike

Time for another live Alberta Politics roundup!

This time around we take a look at the building frustration with the UCP, both internal and external, with Albertans blasting Smith's office for fundraising for an alt right US media outlet while Alberta taxpayers footed the bill, the UCP's court loss on the coal mine file, the whole Saga with Pete Guthrie and his shocking schism with the UCP, the departure of Alberta's CMOH and conseq...

Oh we’ve got a spicy one for you here!

A couple of weeks ago, Andrew Longhurst released his latest research that shows that chartered surgical facilities in Alberta haven’t delivered as promised!

Little did we know when we booked this interview that it would come the day after Danielle Smith announced massive changes that expand the role of profitized medicine and surgery in Alberta, but as luck would have it that’s exactly w...

In a province where the amount disabled Albertans receive from AISH is well below the poverty line, the UCP have launched a multi-pronged attack against the stability and security of the disabled in our province.

To get a better grasp of the brutal clawback of federal supports intended to lift up disabled Albertans, the defunding of grassroots support groups and more, we're joined on this episode by disability self advocates Mik...

Time for another live Alberta Politics roundup!

This time around we take a look at the UCP's short lived move to take popsicles away from kids fight cancer, Danielle Smith's bizarre tour with far right influencers and how they reacted, Donald Trump's tariffs not being the big win Smith claimed them to be and we start our Part 1 of a deep dive on the former AHS CEO's lawsuit and the government response!

On that note...

If you're able ...

As we head towards the end of the month we’re also reaching the end of our series on coal mining on the Eastern Slopes, but we’re not quite done yet!

In the fourth part of our interview series we sit down with former 2 term Lethbridge Mayor, Chris Spearman who paints a very clear picture of the economic risks that coal mining presents to southern Alberta’s, particularly in regard to agriculture and the booming agri-food industry...

We’re continuing our firehose on coal in Alberta!

Bill Trafford was one of the members of the Coal Policy Commiter that saw protections reinstated to protect the eastern slopes and is the president of the Livingstone Landowners’ Group, which represents landowners and supporters of the Livingstone-Porcupine area of Alberta.

He joined us to share his story and to offer some optimism and hope for Albertans looking to push back against t...

With more and more news every day being broken on the "Corrupt Care" scandal and allegations on government corruption being made on what seems like a daily basis inside of the Alberta Legislature, many Albertans are asking if anything can be done...

So to find out, we sat down with the folks from AB Resistance to get the latest update on their efforts to initiate recall petitions across Alberta and it how they're getting started...

Welcome to Part 2 of our deep dive on coal in Alberta, with a conversation with biologist and environmental scientist Lorne Fitch!

Lorne has been following the impact of coal mining in Alberta for the last 50 years and for his work on conservation he has been part of three Alberta Emerald awards, an Alberta Order of the Bighorn Award, and a Canadian Environmental Gold Award, with additional recognition from The Wildlife Society,...

It's finally Part 1 of our deep dive on coal in Alberta!

Throughout March we're going to be presenting a series of interviews on the incredible danger that coal mining in the eastern slopes, and particularly Grassy Mountain presents to Alberta!

For our first conversation, we're extremely excited to present a conversation with an incredibly powerful voice, Adam North Peigan!

In this conversation, not only do we get into the real risk a...

We're back after being silenced by a court order and we have a few things to say!

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...

If the wheels came off of Alberta Politics last week, this week Alberta Politics went full Ford Pinto and blew all the way up!

Former Justice Minister Kaycee Madu was sanctioned and fined, Take Back Alberta and David Parker were fined over $100,000, Trump announced a new round of tariffs after the UCP attended a taxpayer covered prayer breakfast, Prime Minister Trudeau confirmed Trump's annexation threats are real and then Carrie Ta...

Here we go again with another whirlwind week in Alberta Politics that by necessity includes all of Canada and the United States!

We start with a follow up on the overwhelming condemnation of Smith's taxpayer funded $2 Million COVID report before we take a look at the many stories falling through the cracks while all eyes are on the economic trade war that Trump has started before we also turn our attention to the last week in the tr...

Well that was a week...

Trump's Tariffs! Nazi Salutes! COVID Report!

Also, is Smith using taxpayer money to travel around on the taxpayers dime to beef up Kevin O'Leary's AI venture? And what is going on with this government and coal mines!

Plus, should we maybe at least be taking a little seriously the threat that Trump wants to take over Canada using economic force and is actually taking the steps to do it?

If you're able to suppor...

It seems like someone has cut the brakes on Alberta Politics!

From the start of the week with Smith's cell phone presser to address her Mar A Lago visit to her standing alone against confederation and everything in between, we've got you covered with our Alberta Politics Roundup!

Plus we also reveal the results of two of our FOIP requests, with the first pulling back the curtain on the UCP government funding yet another right wing m...
