Alberta’s separatists have no case for breaking away from Canada

April 11, 2025
Of all the dumb ideas kicking around the world right now, the dumbest may be making Alberta a separate nation. I am in God’s Country now and it is the luckiest, richest, most privileged place in all of Canada, blessed with low taxes, bountiful resources, thriving cities and a spectacular natural setting.Yet some Albertans insist it is so hard done by that it must bolt from Confederation and issue passports of its own. A recent poll showed that a quarter of the province’s residents would vote to leave Canada if a referendum were held today. Asked if they are proud to be Canadian, Albertans are less likely than Quebeckers to say yes.
