  • Superb journalism

    Impressive content for a seasoned professional, 10x more impressive coming from someone on the frontlines.

  • The voice of reason

    Nate provides an unbiased and truthful account of Alberta’s politics, which is why some politicians and political parties have decided he (and subsequently democracy) is a threat.
