Rebel News Town Hall attendees talk separatism

Many Albertans have gone from thinking about separatism to taking action to make it a reality.

Rebel News held two emergency town halls in Edmonton and Calgary this past week to talk about the future of Alberta. Will it remain part of Canada's confederation or find greener pastures through a secession event?

We interviewed attendees at the Calgary town hall to get their reaction to the separatist movement sweeping across Western Canada. Many found solace in the ability to engage in the conversation itself, which may account for the series of gatherings discussing separatism across the province.

This event was being held by Rebel News, but many organizations, such as the Alberta Prosperity Project, are putting on similar events across the province in the next few months, with the objective of getting a separation vote in a referendum in the near future.

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!

    I hope we do separate. Ottawa is so stupid that they’d think it was a good thing until the transfer payments stop. We paid our dues. Now it’s time to become our own country. I suggest Saskatchewan joins us and we have the new capital in Lloydminster.
