The Republic of Alberta: An Idea That Won't Go Away

Alberta separatism isn't a new concept. Even before Alberta became a province, critics were sounding off against "the horde of grafters connected with the Ottawa Liberal Machine," as was written in the Calgary Herald in 1905. Author Tyler Dawson explores the definitive history and analysis of Alberta's long-simmering separatist movement in his new book "The Republic of Alberta: An Idea That Won't Go Away". Hear all about it in our feature interview (4:20) presented by Mercedes-Benz Edmonton West. THIS EPISODE IS PRESENTED BY HANSEN DISTILLERY.
