FIGHT: The Heated Debate over Alberta's Independence

In this heated debate on Alberta's independence, hosted by Rachel Parker (independent journalist) and James from The Critical Compass on Feb 12th, we bring together two passionate voices: Marty Belanger (aka Marty Up North), a staunch Alberta separatist and vocal critic of federal politics, and Troy Westwood, a former Winnipeg Blue Bombers player, social services advocate, and proud Canadian.

From immigration concerns and federal overreach to economic abuse and democratic rights, this unfiltered debate explores Alberta's path forward. Whether you're pro-independence, pro-Canada, or on the fence, this episode challenges assumptions and sparks thoughtful dialogue.
