Is Alberta finally separating? Lawyer sparks 51st state talks through referendum

Alberta is a Canadian province which might be on the verge of separation, and with good reason. After generations of neglect and abuse by the federal government in Ottawa, many in the province have had enough and are strongly considering a move towards provincial independence.

Recently, Rebel News conducted a poll, showing that if given the option to separate from Canada and join the United States, 10% of the province would agree, and if the Liberals win the next election, this jumps to 15%. While this was a poll on separating and joining the U.S., today the talk focuses simply on Alberta separating from Canada.

This feeling has escalated drastically in the past few months as the Liberal Party has not only provoked a trade war with the world’s biggest superpower and our closest ally, the United States, but also allowed for expat globalist Mark Carney to replace Trudeau as prime minister. All of this without a general election, without a mandate from Canadians, or even a seat in the House of Commons.

Even though an election was called days ago, many Albertans say the damage has already been done.

For separatists, two outcomes have risen to the forefront: either the federal party that wins will adhere to provincial demands laid out by Premier Smith and Alberta retains its confederation status, or a "referendum for independence" will be held soon, which could solidify plans for the province to separate from Canada once and for all.

Rebel News interviewed Alberta lawyer and separation advocate Jeffrey Rath during his press conference on March 26, to see what the independence movement is planning and how likely separation truly is.

For now, Alberta remains a Canadian province. But that may change once the federal election is over.

Either the new PM adheres to the requests laid out by the premier, giving Albertans more justification to remain Canadian, or the feds will continue their economic enslavement of Western Canada, and separation will shake the North American continent to its foundation.

Please help me stop Mark Carney — before it’s too late!

Mark Carney and the political elites think they can walk into power unchallenged — but not if Rebel News has anything to say about it. While the legacy media cheers him on, we’re digging into his globalist agenda, exposing what others won’t. With your help, we’ll keep our reporters on the ground, our billboard truck on the move, and our message uncensored. This election is our chance to fight back — before it’s too late. Please help me take back the narrative and stop Mark Carney!

    I do believe Alberta needs to seperate no matter who wins the election. If the conservatives win it is only a matter of time till the liberals get back in. Do not forget that there is another young Trudeau coming up and will want to carry on the family legasy. Alberta and the west cannot ever let that happen again.

    Canada can not survive another 4 years of ridiculous, radical and crooked liberalism. Saskatchewan and Manitoba need to jump on board with Alberta. Wishful thinking is for B.C. to join as well but! The West can’t continue to support the East when they don’t give a rats ass about us other than our resources!

    Cape Breton Island has prospered because of islanders traveling to Alberta to work on the oil sands. So has the rest of Atlantic Canada. Separation would cause problems both in Atlantic Canada as well as Alberta. Their frustration in Alberta is understandable though. The government elected next month, regardless of which party it is, should prioritize the Energy East, for no other reason than to keep the nation together. Trudeau’s burning tons of jet fuel to travel all over the world as a solo passenger on a government jet to lecture people in other countries about the “global warming” is embarrassing. If we are unlucky enough to have a Liberal win in the upcoming election, we can only hope that Mark Carney won’t continue the embarrassing tradition which Trudeau established.

    Well I think that a referendum should take place any way. Just to show the other side of the country that We are serious in the west. Take Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, Northern BC, and The Territories with You.

    Alberta under Carney will incur an irresponsible debt on our children and grandchildren. We have to take action.

    If Carney wins a majority and AB separates I would like to move to AB. I,m fed up with the Liberals arrogance, corruption and incompetence.

    I’m in favor of Alberta to look seriously at an exit plan. It’s time.

    Alberta should depart Canada in a way that benefits Alberta the most.

    When groups such as the Western Canada Concept were around, I thought they were mad. The idea of a region of this country separating was unthinkable to me.

    Now, I can’t wait for Alberta to become independent. I rather fancy the idea of being a citizen of Buffalo or Rupert’s Land.

    If Carney wins I am in for separation. I am a proud Canadian but I am a prouder Albertan. We can’t keep giving and get nothing back. We are the bread and butter of Canada, we get no respect so lets keep it for ourselves.

    I saw this separation a year ago.
    Wait and see. The Liberal’s will use force to stop it.

    If Carney wins even a minority government, Albertans will want out of con-federation. We’ve been ripped off for more than a hundred years. Why stay in this abusive relationship if the same abusers get into power once again?
