The emerging threats posed by Alberta Separatists and alarming MAGA Russian propaganda should have us all on high alert. With a massive data leak jeopardizing millions of Alberta voters and Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre's troubling silence on the matter, it's clear that we are facing a serious crisis. Additionally, the recent court defeat dealt to Danielle Smith by First Nations is a wake-up call for all of us to stand up for democracy and fight for our country! Let’s not forget the bubbling separatist sentiment in Quebec, alongside Premier Doug Ford's plummeting reputation from his growing Gravy Plane Scandal. This is not simply political drama; it's a fight for fairness and the future of our democracy! Join host Laura Babcock and Douglas Connors from the True North Eager Beaver for an electrifying Long Weekend episode that dives deep into these issues. Together, we'll hold our politicians accountable for their feckless actions and call out the treasonous behaviours threatening our nation. Our democracy is literally on the line! Now is the time for action—hype this conversation, share your thoughts, subscribe to stay informed, and comment to let us know how you feel about the state of our country. We need your voice in this critical moment! Our democracy is ON THE LINE! #canadanews #canada #trump #canadastrong #ontario #carney #elbowsup #alberta #poilievre #canadianpodcast An independent podcast, the best way to support our work is by subscribing.
