If they're paying taxes or receiving social program benefits they're certainly not separatists. 'Somewhat support' probably means they'd like to send Ottawa a message, but likely wouldn't when they thought through the implications. It's going nowhere except to let the complainers have their voice. Alberta alone could support more social spending, per capita, than Canada can, and Alberta already has its own pension plan.

LinkSoul60 Posted May 7 Report Posted May 7 4 hours ago, WestCanMan said: I saw a poll (3,000 ppl) that said 66% of conservative voters are separatists now. Poll Findings: A May 2026 "Act for Alberta" poll showed that 51% of federal Conservative supporters in Alberta "strongly support" independence, with another 15% saying they "somewhat support" it. Note that's "federal" conservatives, not just Alberta conservatives. I'm not sure what to make of "somewhat support", but the number of separatists is always growing. So, no polls huh... Just do the Fxx and Goddess thing by pulling it out of your àss and running with it. You go girl 👍 1 Quote

All of Canada would quickly dissolve as a coherent nation should Alberta leave. Access to eastern Canada would cease for BC, and Ontario would become destitute having to pay for Quebec all on its own. It’s no longer a matter of if but when your doom will be decided Canucks. America will be patiently awaiting your return to the fold. Best you learn to speak American! It is severely unlikely that Alberta would actually leave per se. What would happen is they would be able to negotiate a species of sovereignty association where they have a considerably larger amount of autonomy within Canada. This has been talked about at length when Quebec was thinking about leaving. There's really no provision in the constitution that allows for a province to actually leave and that presents problems That isn't to say that other provinces may not demand the same sort of autonomy if it's granted to alberta and we may see a radical change in Canada that severely de-emphasizes federation and moves closer to something like the European Union where each province basically makes its own rules but there's certain common trading agreements etc Quote "That which doesn't kill me...

So where are these 'polls'? Just listened to Jason Kenney on Power & Politics who in a nutshell thinks this separatist movement is a joke that will go absolutely nowhere, and ultimately benefit the liberals by costing Alberta conservative MP's seats because of the 'perennially angry fools'. His take is that most Albertan's are strongly Canadian, albeit with valid complaints for the previous government, and see's this as hurting both the federal conservatives and the Alberta UCP. That's a shame... This has turned into a real joke that won't be so funny for some when the dust settles... That's why clowns don't run the circus. Quote

Just do a Google search ffs, m0r0n. You probably put too much stock in polls. I think they're about as honest as politicians. And it's doubtful if elections are even legit. Jason Kenney is an a-hole. Right now I do agree with Kenney, in that, right now there's a real risk that the separatists will split to conservative vote, which would be a catastrophe. Alberta can't afford... and Canada can't afford, another NDP gov't in Alberta.

Even our membership in the League of Shithole Nations is at risk. Haiti, NoKo and Iran are questioning if we still meet the minimum requirements. We might get bumped down to the League of Pathetic Shithole Nations, with Gaza, Pakistan, and England.
