What if Alberta really did separate from Canada—then what?
Carlin Lutzer welcomes back former Alberta cabinet minister Thomas Lukaszuk to unpack the heated and highly personal debate around Alberta’s political future.
With over 456,000 signatures recently submitted to oppose a sovereignty referendum, Lukaszuk reflects on the state of civil discourse, the real risks of separatism, and why he believes independence is a dangerous illusion.
From rural voter disenfranchisement to the haunting lessons of Quebec and Brexit, this conversation dives deep into the emotional and economic realities of separation…and urges Albertans to think critically before they vote.
