Lorne Gunter: 'Alberta Separatists Have 30% Support Without A Movement'
Albertans are reconsidering their place in Canada, and another Liberal term could trigger separation.
Lorne Gunter discussed the implications of a Mark Carney win for Alberta separatism on The Ezra Levant Show.
Albertans are reconsidering their place in Canada, and another Liberal term could trigger separation.
"All the major commentators have said, 'Oh, it'll never work. They've only got 30% support,'" said Gunter. "They've got 30% support without a movement," he clarified.
Recent polls by Angus Reid and Leger found that almost a third of Albertans want to separate from Canada.

The separatist movement of today is led by ineffectual, yet well-intentioned people, who are fed up with Canada.
Another Liberal win could destroy Canada in more ways than one.

Bruce Atchison commented 2025-04-18 19:55:11 -0400We must keep threatening to separate. Perhaps we can get rid of that ball and chain called Ottawa. We send $70-billion there and get $35-billion back. Equalization is unfair because it penalizes success and rewards laziness. That’s what socialism does too.
