Front Burner is a daily news podcast that takes you deep into the stories shaping Canada and the world.
Last week, the team spent a few days in Three Hills, Alberta, a small town northeast of Calgary. They attended an event about Alberta independence, and spoke to a wide array of people about separation from Canada, and the possibility of an upcoming referendum on the issue. CBC Calgary’s Jason Markusoff also came along.
People in Three Hills will be voting in a provincial byelection this Monday, where a separatist party – the Alberta Republican Party – is running a candidate. So in a way, separatism is already on the ballot.
