Why was our reporter kicked out of an Alberta separatist event?
Friday, 27 February, 2026

Late last month, thousands of Calgarians trekked to Stampede Park to pledge their support for Alberta separation. Trekking there, too, was our Alberta reporter, Stephen Magusiak.Unfortunately, he didn't get to stay for long.Before the rally even started — and just after he interviewed one of the organizers — Stephen was unceremoniously removed.They evidently didn't like his questions.On the new Sources, Stephen talks about what went down, and why the Alberta separatist movement feels more confident than ever.Links• "Alberta Separatists Kicked Us Out of Their Event After Asking About American Support" (PressProgress, Jan. 30, 2026)• "The Albertans Counting on America to Help Break Apart Canada" (PressProgress, July 25, 2025)• "Alberta Independence Rally in Calgary" livestream (Freedom Calendar on YouTube, Jan. 26, 2026)Support the show
