Professor Wall and the Secession Minstrel go over the first summit between Idaho and Oregon legislators discussing the Greater Idaho movement which was held in Baker City, Oregon. What can we learn from what the representatives who attended talked about at the press conference at the end of the summit? What does Greater Idaho need to be careful about as they move on to the next phases in their campaign? Why do we think success is inevitable for Greater Idaho but how it is accomplished may look different than many expect?

Professor Wall and the Secession Minstrel discuss the developments out of Quebec’s separatist efforts where the Parti Québécois has announced that, if elected, they will not hold a Quebec Independence Referendum until after Donald Trump is no longer President of the United States. What are the reasons given for this delay? Is this useless political pandering or a shrewd move with an eye towards a successful independence vote? What do supporters of Quebec Independence need to make note of in the Alberta Independence campaign as they prepare for their own referendum?

Professor Wall and the Jester discuss the public stand of California congressman James Gallagher on behalf of the cause of splitting up California. Is this the leadership which so many of the different secession movements across California have been looking for in their efforts to reclaim self-governance for themselves? What in California’s current economic situation makes Gallagher’s public stand at this time especially important? How many different self-governing areas might emerge as the current state of California collapses?

Professor Wall and the Secession Minstrel discuss the surprising news out of Iceland where the Icelandic people solidly defeated a referendum-based effort for Iceland to begin talks to join the European Union. What does this say about the Icelandic people? What major wrench does this defeat throw into the European Union’s plans to bring Greenland and Canada into their coalition? Is this the European Union’s equivalent of the Soviet Union’s withdrawal from Afghanistan in 1988?

Professor Wall is joined by lawyer and Alberta independence activist Katherine Kowalchuk and Canadian law professor Bruce Pardy on “From Steal to Secession AM” to discuss the recent developments in the Alberta Separatism effort. What are some encouraging aspects that are being seen in the efforts to separate Alberta from Canada? What are some more concerning developments which it might be wise to make note of and take a different approach to? Why is Independence for Alberta not enough to actually restore FREEDOM to Alberta? What are the different stages of the process for Alberta Independence and which is actually most important as opposed to what popular belief holds as the most important?
Professor Wall welcomes the President of the Saskatchewan Prosperity Project, Brad Williams, to “From Steal to Secession AM” to discuss the Saskatchewan Independence Effort and it’s recent growth in popularity across the populace. What are the issues driving the popular positive views of Saskatchewan separating from Ottawa? Why has there been an explosion in popular interest in these town halls educating people on Saskatchewan self-determination efforts being held across the province by the Saskatchewan Prosperity Project? What obstacles are ahead for Saskatchewan independence activists to overcome in their journey towards achieving freedom for Saskatchewan? What secret political tactics might they be able to use to help bring this all about?
