In this episode of Talk Truth, we sit down with Alberta-based columnist and political commentator Cory Morgan to tackle one of the most debated topics in Western Canada—independence. With decades of experience in grassroots activism, political party organization, and journalism, Cory draws from both the frontlines and his book “The Sovereignty’s Handbook” to unpack the movement’s persistent challenges. He breaks down why independence sentiment in Alberta and Saskatchewan often spikes—but fails to stick. From the difficulty of rallying fiercely independent citizens under one banner to the tension between local autonomy and centralized power, Cory offers both hard truths and practical insights.
