Alberta Seperatism is polling at around 30% conservatively.
This is a strong movement. If the Canadian federal government doesn’t address this issue and make concessions to Alberta the movement will only get stronger.
Furthermore, if the Cold War between the US and a Canada escalates, I expect more attention from the US government along the lines of what’s already been mentioned by Trump and Bessent.
As the movement gains more strength I expect polling numbers to rise, and a monetary offer from the Americans might blow the lid off the whole thing.
It would be a massive paradigm shift, but it’s energizing to imagine a significant change, and many right wing conservatives in Canada have reached their breaking points.
Migration from across the country to Alberta to support independence would happen, along with a migration out by those opposed.
I’d like to see the provenance of the block watches be transferred to much higher quality pieces as their value increases with time. That would be really cool.
