10/3 podcast: The Republic of Alberta? Inside the independence movement

Journalist Tyler Dawson, author of a new book called The Republic of Alberta: An Idea That Won’t Go Away joins the show to discuss the history of the movement, what has led to this latest push for independence, and what lessons federalists should take in trying to win a victory for unity in October.

There are two types of so-called blue moon. The older definition refers to the third full moon in a season that has four (rather than the usual three) full moons.
