Separation Anxiety: The Alberta Referendum
There’s a referendum in Alberta this fall, and independence is on the ballot - sort of.
Who are the separatists? What do they actually want?
And what happens to the rest of Canada if they get it?
Separation Anxiety is a five‑part investigative series from award‑winning Alberta journalists Danielle Paradis and Tim Querengesser that aims to find out.
Join them as they follow organizers into church boardrooms and hot‑dog picnics to examine the influences, ideas and grievances fuelling Alberta’s modern separatist movement.
From its century-old roots to the anti-lockdown protests, trucker convoy and political upheaval that brought Danielle Smith to power, Separation Anxiety also traces the movement’s evolution — and why it is now tied to accusations of criminal treason and treaty‑rights violations.
Produced with the support of Canadian True Crime, Separation Anxiety launches September 22 and will be released weekly.
Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
