NATION OF PEOPLE: Why Alberta feels so different from the rest of Canada

Why does Alberta think so differently from Ottawa and Eastern Canada? Natalie St. Hilaire and Randy Royer explore the history behind Alberta’s independent spirit, from treaty and Western settlement to entrepreneurship, self-reliance, individual sovereignty and the deep divide between Western Canada and Canada’s eastern power centres. The conversation looks at how Alberta’s character was formed, why it is often misunderstood, and what it means for Canada’s future.
