About this episode
On our first episode of the new year, we have an interview with the current Acting Leader of the Alberta Party, we take a look at the recent news about the Rutherford Scholarship from last summer (hint: it wasn’t an IT problem) and we break down the incredible (and it really is incredible) list of missteps of the UCP War Room (the Canadian Energy Centre) and ask the fundamental question, are Albertans getting what they’re paying for in the War Room or is this the UCP version of the Redford Sky Palace?
We also officially are launching our patreon account! It turns out that travelling to Edmonton, equipment and renting spaces costs money, so please visit https://www.patreon.com/Thebreakdownab and help us keep doing whatever it is that we're doing here!
