Show Notes
Panel guest this week: Stockwell Day (former Leader of the Official Opposition) | Chris Scott (Alberta independence activist)
Today, we're looking at plans for more protests against data centres in Canada following Rebel News' recent coverage of a demonstration in rural Alberta near the site of a $13 billion Meta-backed project.
Plus, tensions are still high among Canada and the United States as Prime Minister Mark Carney is yet to reach a trade agreement with President Donald Trump.
And finally, we'll discuss whether Alberta is truly a distinct society within Canada.

Older generations tend to see AI the way we see most new technology: as a tool that does or doesn’t work, that we adopt or resist on our own terms, in our own time. Younger generations don’t have that luxury of distance, and there is a fury at being told how to feel about it by people who built it, sold it, or profited from it first without understanding the consequences of using their youth as part of a larger experiment.

Why Ezra does this “let’s beat China” idea drive rational thought????
This big “Meta” gift to Alberta doesn’t hear a peep from marxist Carney!! Wonder why????
Alberta needs mega resource development – not this power, water sucking monster that will only employ Meta approved very few once it’s up and running!!!!
