Jann Arden Reaffirms Anti-Separatist Rant, Reports 'Low-Key' Death Threats

Her stance resurfaces through a forthcoming CBC interview that revisits the May video ahead of a November 13 air date.

Overview

  • Arden tells interviewers for CBC’s The Assembly that she does not regret denouncing Alberta separatists and says Alberta is better within Canada.
  • Her May TikTok used explicit language to label separatists as a fringe movement and “an embarrassment to this country.”
  • She says the post drew hostility online, including what she calls “low-key death threats” and attempts at intimidation from people claiming to know her address.
  • The Assembly premieres November 6 on CBC, with Arden’s episode scheduled for November 13 after being filmed over the summer in Vancouver.
  • The episode also explores personal topics, including questions about her brother Duray Richards’ 1992 murder conviction and his 2019 parole.
