Times are troublesome here in Alberta following the federal Liberal Party securing a fourth term as Canada's government. Consequently, a revival of separatist dialogue in western provinces has blossomed.

Many argue this tension comes from imbalanced representation on Parliament Hill, resulting in policies that have hindered economic growth west of Ontario for generations.

As premier of Alberta, Danielle Smith finds herself at the precipice of separation, and her supporters reflect this. At the UCP Leader's Dinner in Calgary last Thursday, both separatists and federalists could be found.

They do not see eye-to-eye on everything, but mutually understand that the province has been treated unfairly by the federal government for generations, and that separation can at minimum be used as a tool to gain the province leverage when dealing with the feds.

We asked those in attendance how they felt about the UCP's leadership, Mark Carney's plans for Alberta, and the separatist movement sweeping across the west.

Please help Rebel News stand up for the West!

Ottawa’s been screwing the West for decades — Trudeau's carbon taxes, Carney’s smug elitism, and laws like Bill C-69 that sabotage our prosperity. The message from the East? Shut up, pay up, and stay in your place. We’re done with that. And we think you are too. That's why Rebel News is launching a campaign to give Albertans and the West a voice — and we need your help to kick it off. Please help us fund a province-wide poll on Alberta independence, emergency townhalls, and fearless journalism that tells the truth about how badly Ottawa treats the West. If you're fed up with being trampled by the Laurentian elite, chip in now. We’re not taking it anymore!
