Hibernating inside on this cold sunny Sunday? Have you watched to the end of Netflix and run out of podcast ideas? Let me suggest that this is the perfect day to get aquainted with @AlbertaUnbound - for so many reasons. (A thread! A thread!) #SenCA #abpoli #yeg @ISGSenate
Let me introduce you first to @AlikaMD, who kicks off Season 2 of @AlbertaUnbound. We talk about the costs of rugged individualism, Covid compliance & Indigenous identity. https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/s2-episode-1-defying-prophecies/id1511810939?i=1000506097474 #abpoli #ableg #SenCa
Next up, is Dr. Yasmeen Abu-Laban, with shocking secrets about Harry Strom, the birth of multiculturalism, and why Alberta struggles to live up to its policy promise. #ableg #yegheritage #cdnpoli #SenCa #UAlberta https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/s2-episode-2-giving-social-credit/id1511810939?i=1000506097472
Then - since it's Black History Month - no better time to meet @TomiAjele of @AfrosInThaCity - to talk about Black identity, Alberta Identity and - dare I say it - the @NHLFlames. https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/s2-episode-3-afros-in-tha-cities/id1511810939?i=1000506097479 #SenCa #yyc #abpoli @AlbertaUnbound
With another Covid outbreak at Cargill, a good time to listen to @bmorishita, mayor of Brooks & president of @TheAUMA - talking about the Covid outbreak his own town survived last summer & the realities of life in a polyglot Packingtown. https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/s2-episode-4-a-hundred-hellos/id1511810939?i=1000506097477 #ableg #cdnpoli
And with Lunar New Year about to begin, listen in while @PonNatalie talks about the deep deep roots of Alberta's Chinese community, and how Covid inspired a very new wave of racism. https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/s2-episode-5-the-other-side-of-gold-mountain/id1511810939?i=100050609747 #yeg #yegheritage #cdnpoli #ableg #SenCA
I interviewed @MacEwan poli sci prof Chaldeans Mensah right after a string of racist, Islamaphobic hate crimes/assaults in Edmonton. With two new cases reported this week, this conversation is more timely than ever. https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/s2-episode-6-the-science-of-politics/id1511810939?i=1000506097475 #yeg #MacEwanU #ableg #abpoli #SenCA
And with Covid back in Alberta packing plants, you'll want to hear @lourdesmjuan talking about the essential role Filipino-Albertans play in our food system. And our health care system. And why "model minority" status is no protection from racism. https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/s2-episode-7-essential/id1511810939?i=1000506097476 #yyc
Edmonton lawyer @AvnishNanda has been making headlines recently with his legal fight, to compel Alberta to provide greater supports to youth aging out of foster care. Here's where his passion comes from: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/s2-episode-8-straight-out-of-millwoods/id1511810939?i=1000506097478 #yeg #ableg #abpoli #SenCA #yegheritage
And finally - the series concludes with @aaronpaquette - perfect background to explain our northern identity, our relationship to the land, and why we stay here - even when it's -35 C. https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/s2-episode-9-reconciliation-a-triptych/id1511810939?i=1000506097473 #yegcc #yegarts #cdnpoli #SenCa @AlbertaUnbound
On a weekend like this, when we ask ourselves why we live here, and what makes us Albertans? I hope @albertaunbound provides some answers. (Also available on Spotify, Google, Stitcher, IHeartRadio, Podbean, etc., etc.)
