Episode Details

Alberta braces for a historic October referendum on whether to begin the process of leaving Canada, sparking fierce debate across the province. As Canada celebrates 159 years of unity, Calgarians show their patriotism—but also deep divisions over the future. Supporters of staying in Canada highlight healthcare, immigration, and national solidarity as reasons to remain, while separatists argue economic frustration and federal neglect demand independence. Campaigns on both sides are ramping up, with unity advocates collecting hundreds of thousands of signatures and separatists holding “Albertans’ Day” events to rally support. With the premier and Prime Minister urging Albertans to stay, the vote looms as a pivotal moment—seen by some as a wake-up call, by others as a necessary step toward self-determination.
