Alberta Independence: What Kind of Country Would We Actually Build?
Talk Truth 10.08.26 - Vince Byfield Part 1 | The Alberta independence debate usually focuses on whether the province should leave Canada. Vince Byfield wants to ask a different question: what would Albertans actually build afterward? In Part 1, Byfield lays out his proposed “First Principles of Alberta,” arguing that foundational principles should be established before writing a constitution or designing a new political system. Drawing from the Bible, the American founding documents and historical legal codes, he begins with the sovereignty of God, individual rights and responsibilities, the authority of the family and his argument that government power should flow from the bottom up — beginning as close to the people as possible.

Canada's Carbon Tax Isn't Gone. Here's Where It Went.
Talk Truth 10.07.26 - Franco Terrazzano | Canadians were told the consumer carbon tax was gone, but Canadian Taxpayers Federation federal director Franco Terrazzano says another carbon tax is still hitting businesses — and ultimately consumers. Terrazzano breaks down the industrial carbon tax, why he argues it raises costs throughout the supply chain and what it means for Canadian jobs and competitiveness. He also digs into Ottawa’s spending and debt, the more than $1 billion he says taxpayers are spending every week on federal debt interest, proposed new CRA fines and why Canadians keep watching the purchasing power of their money shrink.
