«Are you pissed?
That’s exactly where this conversation with Mitch Sylvestre begins — and his reaction tells you everything about the moment we’re in.
This is Mitch’s first interview since Premier Danielle Smith announced the referendum question that might finally put a vote on the table. Emotions are high, the stakes are real, and the path forward just shifted.
In this conversation, I challenge Mitch directly with a controversial idea:
Did Danielle Smith actually save the independence movement with her Thursday-night move?
You’ll want to hear how he responds.
We also get into Mitch’s plan from here, what he thinks Albertans should focus on, and whether he agrees that we need to play the hand we’ve been dealt — not the one we wish we had.
If you care about where this movement goes next, this interview matters.»
