"Stay Free Alberta spokesperson Jeff Rath joins me to break down a recent Edmonton Sun article targeting SFA CEO Mitch Sylvestre — and the growing effort to paint the Alberta independence movement in the worst possible light.
According to the piece, an “anti‑racism watchdog” has been monitoring SFA meetings for so‑called hateful comments. Jeff Rath isn’t letting that narrative stand. In his new Substack article, “Postmedia’s New Slogan: Alberta Independence — All the Fake News That’s Fit to Print,” he argues the story was built on half the facts and zero context, and he lays out why Albertans deserve better.

With the signature campaign surging and a referendum inching closer, the loudest voices in the movement are likely to face even more presure.
Jeff and I also talk about the incredible scenes unfolding across Alberta — massive lineups to sign the petition, the energy on the ground, and why so many people feel the momentum building. "
