Alberta on the Brink: Independence, Horse Slaughter, and the CO2 Pipeline Debate
With Alberta's independence referendum set for October 19th, Trent and Lonny dig into the political fractures tearing communities apart — and why tribal chiefs are fighting to keep the status quo. They pull no punches on the horse slaughter crisis either, exposing how the closure of facilities in Alberta and Mexico is leaving unwanted horses to suffer while animal rights groups cheer from the sidelines. The CO2 pipeline running from North Dakota to Saskatchewan comes under fire too, with both men questioning whether carbon capture is really about the environment — or just a money grab through tax credits. Add in earthquake risks from underground injection, beagle welfare cases in Wisconsin, and the future of mule and quarter horse racing, and this episode delivers from start to finish.
