In this explosive episode, Dean sits down with Peter Downing, the founder of Wexit and AmericaFund.ca, who wants Alberta—and maybe all of Canada—to join the United States. Some call him a patriot, others call him a traitor, but one thing is certain: Peter is passionate about breaking away from Canada.
What would Canadians gain (or lose) by becoming the 51st state?
Who is backing The America Fund, and what’s their real agenda?
Why does Peter Downing admire Donald Trump, and what role do religion and conspiracy theories play in his worldview?
We dig deep into his motivations, his vision for Alberta, and whether Canadians actually support annexation. Buckle up—this one gets wild.
Who is Peter Downing?
Peter Downing is the founder of Wexit Canada, a political movement advocating for Western Canadian independence, and AmericaFund.ca, an organization pushing for Alberta to join the U.S. A former RCMP officer, Downing has been a controversial figure in Canadian politics, often stirring debate with his anti-Trudeau, pro-separation rhetoric. His campaign is fueled by economic frustrations, particularly in the oil and gas sector, and a deep-rooted admiration for Donald Trump.
