Western separatism in BC? Independent MLA weighs in on growing movement

Dallas Brodie, a former B.C. Conservative who now sits as an independent in the legislature, joins Rebel News to discuss the growing Western separatist movement in the province and the federal government's overreach into provincial jurisdiction.

The independence movement is picking up steam in Western Canada following the Liberal Party's securing of a fourth consecutive term in government with the party's new leader, Mark Carney.

A deep divide exists between pragmatic Westerners and the bureaucratic ideologues in Ottawa, whether its regarding resource management or inadequate representation in our national Parliament.

Never mind Quebec, Alberta is a hotspot for independence talk — but even in Saskatchewan and British Columbia, people are beginning to ask whether or not it's time for change, seeing as Ottawa hasn't.

That is why today we spoke with Independent MLA Dallas Brodie, from British Columbia, to see why even some in B.C. are thinking it's time to move on from the fed.

Time will tell where this separatist movement is headed, but one thing's for certain: many Western Canadians have finally had enough of the federal government and are seriously considering moves towards further independence.

Let us know in the comments, is there a good reason to stay in Confederation? Or is it time to take our future into our own hands?

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!

    Canadians want the corruption to stop, from one coast to the other, Canadians want accountability on all levels, where as the current Governments coast to coat can not deliver.

    Thanks for creating this piece. I admire MLA Brodie and agree with what she says. Eby is another Chinese influenced leader and BC will continue to suffer.

    I wish that Yukon would consider to separate with the west. But then Yukon would have to live without money sent from Ottawa. And actually have an economy that is not hinged to federal money. Oh! well I can dream!

    It’s Ottawa that’s to blame for separatist aspirations. If they were responsive to the west’s needs, nobody would be advocating for separation. The west has had a long history of being treated like a second class region. Meanwhile Quebec gets all the attention. Both Trudeaus accelerated the divide and Carney’s win just crossed a red line.

    After hearing Eby’s comments in that piece, I’m glad I sold the house in B. C. that I inherited.
