Alberta is a province in Canada with a lot of oil and a moderate but not yet dangerous separatism problem that polls a little below 30%. That’s far less than needed to win a referendum, but enough to support an insurrection or a large campaign of civil disobedience. It’s also a sufficient level of support […]

Think of all the best parties you’ve ever been to, jumbled together and winding into one long night. Imagine running through that dreamed-up congregation hour by hour. What did it smell like? What did it feel like? Who made it possible? What, if anything, made it political? Do this, and you might have something like […]
