Nate Pike

From the frozen wilds of northern Alberta to the deserts of southern Alberta…

Nate honed his survival skills travelling Western Canada as a troubadour in the tradition of his contemptuous punk rock youth before graduating from two higher learning institutions after repeated previous spectacular failures at post-secondary education.

After having financially supported his musical habits through a variety of endeavours, including as a junior mortician, a gas station attendant and a middle manager for various telecommunications companies, Nate settled into a career as a paramedic on the advice of his wife, who is much smarter and considerably more forward-thinking than Nate.

In 2019, Nate and a small group of scrappy puppeteers and pundits began the series “The Breakdown”, which has been a source of mild to moderate agitation to Alberta political figures ever since.
