  2. Host ng radyo nagmuni-muni sa perspektibo ng mga imigrante sa gitna ng debate sa referendum ng Alberta. Sumulat ang host na binigyang-diin ng mga tumawag na imigrante ang pagpunta nila para sa Canada kaysa hiwalay na Alberta, binibigyang-diin ang mga boses ng komunidad na nakolekta on-air bilang bahagi ng mas malawak na pag-uusap tungkol sa referendum.
