Since 1990, more than 30 new sovereign states have emerged, many after peaceful negotiations or democratic referendums. These include the 15 republics that emerged following the collapse of the Soviet Union, the successor states to Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia, as well as Namibia, Eritrea, Palau, Timor-Leste and South Sudan.

Kosovo is recognized by more than 100 UN member states, though not universally.

While every independence movement is unique, the historical record shows that the creation of new countries is far from extraordinary.

Alberta would also not be starting from scratch.

It already has an elected legislature, independent courts, police services, a sophisticated civil service, universities, hospitals, highways, airports, one of the world's largest proven oil reserves, abundant natural gas, agriculture, forestry, critical minerals, and one of the highest GDPs per capita in North America.

Help fund our independent reporting on Alberta's independence movement!

Rebel News is stepping up where the legacy media have failed. We've assigned Tamara Lich to follow the Alberta independence movement as it unfolds — not from a government-funded newsroom in Toronto, but on the ground with the people actually shaping it. We don’t take a cent of the Liberals' media bailouts, which means we rely entirely on viewers like you to make this journalism possible. If you want Albertans to have a fair voice in a debate the establishment would rather crush, please chip in today and help us keep this reporting going strong.
