Professor Wall and the Secession Minstrel discuss DC’s forceful actions and language in Texas and the Balkans as the Texas state government begins to defy DC on border protection and the Republika Srpska makes serious noises on secession. Is DC now really beginning to fear the growing secessionist sentiment both at home and abroad? Is DC in any position to effectively crack down on these secessionist movements?

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?
