Will the Province of Alberta break away from Canada?

Canadian province makes major move for independence — and it's not Quebec | Blaze Media

Albertan separtists had to secure roughly 178,000 signatures for their referendum petition. They apparently collected a wagonload more.

Ottawa and members of the eastern ruling class of Canada have made no secret of their contempt for Canada's resource-rich prairie provinces and their inhabitants, proving time and again their willingness to simultaneously exploit the West's wealth and hinder its progress.

While the powers that be might not be losing sleep over alienating the residents of these provinces, they could soon lose something far more precious: a province roughly 1.56 times bigger than California that's home to over 5 million people, vast natural beauty, the fourth-largest proven oil reserves in the world, a large variety of valuable metallic and industrial minerals, and Atlanta's former NHL franchise.

How it started​

Canadians — not so much those in the 18-to-34 age bracket, who largely voted Conservative, but those over the age of 55 — decided last year to award another four years to the Liberal government that in the preceding years oversaw a historic growth of the federal deficit, numerous tax hikes, an unprecedented influx of immigrants, a spike in illegal immigration, rising crime, unanswered church burnings, a worsening housing crisis, and the rise of state-facilitated suicide as a leading cause of death nationally.


Unlike certain progressive regions that got what they wanted in the form of another Liberal government, the Province of Alberta flatly rejected World Economic Forum regular and self-identified "European" Mark Carney and his woke party.

For the record, I don't see this happening. The Left will never ever let these people have their freedom because they have no interest in freedom. All the Left wants is never ending regulation and control, that is, if you are lucky.

If it comes down to voting, they will rig the vote or stop it altogether.

I don't know if it was your linked article or another but I read that overall 75% of their residents prefer staying with Canada as opposed to becoming an independent country. So, it doesn't seem likely in the long run.

If so, you are looking a little over a million people who are trapped in that province and who will never have any reprsentation.


Sad.

But as long as they are in the minority, democracy dictates that it is just fine cuz the mob rules.

In the short term, no. Though they are obtaining a large number of signatures and that cannot just be dismissed.

In the long term, both them and Quebec are possible, especially if we continue to lose U.S market share to Mexico and China. Poverty and a nation without shared values of blind justice, transparent and accountable government always leads to unhappy citizens and we sit beside the most free nation on earth as a model.

Once a nation spits on their own Charter of Rights and Freedoms, there is only one predictable outcome.

We can turn it around but it would take some courageous and concerned government officials. We haven't had that really since Mulroney.

Almost nothing about it on actual Canadian news sites.

Maybe they could join America and become the 51st State?
