## Resource

How many Albertans are actually ready to leave Canada? And what do the latest numbers tell us about the state of the separation movement? Guest host Rob Breakenridge gets into it with Ipsos CEO Darrell Bricker in our feature interview presented by Mercedes-Benz Edmonton West. Plus, is Alberta finally getting serious about passenger rail? Bruce Graham with Friends of Calgary Airport-Banff Rail joins the show to talk about the push for better rail service and whether a Calgary-to-Banff connection could be closer than many people think.
