Its a bit more of an existential question, but one that can't be seperated from our ongoing political situation. Are these seperatists, politicians and citizens alike, traitors to the rest of Alberta, let alone Canada, or is this a standard political disagreement. This has been the subject of many a frustrated water cooler, bar table and probably dinner table this weekend, but is there an answer to the question that can leave us feeling satisfied about our system and able to live with our neighbours when this is all said and done.

Well, that last bit us upto you, but lets at least figure out if its an appropriate use of the word.

Are you sick of your Conservative neighbour condescendingly telling you how immigration is bankrupting us while turning a blind eye to the cost of this referendum? Getting ready for thanksgiving and that one uncle who actually thinks seperating from the rest of Canada will magically make all his economic problems disappear, (when betting his mortgage on the Oilers every month might have a little more to do with it) and want to have some numbers to throw back over potatoes and pumpkin pie. You're In Luck!

I'm going to step away from a question by question analysis of the referendum in favour of geting into some of the topics that should be pissing us all off. And to start with I am going to talk about the costs. The cost of the referendum, the actual costs of asylum immigration and the potential cost of Alberta Seperation.

In this episode we are discussing who Dani and the UCP are actually trying to satisfy with these questions and who they are fighting against. Do you have a friend, neighbour, coworker or mouthy relative who is sure that the province is being crushed under a wave of refugees? We'll here we'll talk about how small the number actually is and how not only is Alberta not taking on an unfair portion of the responsibility, we are lagging well behind other Canadian provinces. So tune, get mad, but most importantly, get informed.
