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?

Bruce Atchison commented 2025-05-07 23:27:24 -0400 FlagIt’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.
