596: Alberta Independence and news bubbles

from Beer and Conversation with Pigweed and Crowhill Hosted by Pigweed and Crowhill

The boys drink and review Finest Kind IPA from Smuttynose, then talk about efforts to make Alberta an independent nation. Pigweed's news feed has been full of talk about this burgeoning movement in Canada. Alberta is an energy rich province that sends a lot of money to Ottawa, but doesn't get much in return. Albertans hate being under the thumb of a government thousands of miles away with completely different values. The story seemed so exciting and right up Pigweed's alley ... until he realized his feed was exaggerating the popularity of the movement. It's at about 30 percent. But would Canada allow Alberta to leave even if Albertans voted for it? P&C have their doubts. Would Canada peacefully allow their cash cow to leave? 📬 Send us your thoughts: [email protected] 🌐 More episodes: pigweedandcrowhill.com 👍 Like, subscribe, and tell a friend
