It’s barely 8 a.m. and Darcy Gerow is talking about tearing Alberta’s political system down to its very foundations.
Gerow, a podcaster and former deputy leader of the Libertarian Party of Canada, is addressing a crowd of Alberta separatists in a low-ceilinged conference room a few minutes’ drive from the Calgary airport. In his speech, called “the anarcho-capitalist case for Alberta,” he advocates for a system of government by the same name, which would privatize all aspects of society.
“The long-term goal is the complete replacement of state monopoly,” Gerow said.
