Alberta’s threat to divorce Canada is getting more serious than ever. Premier Danielle Smith announced this week that the oil-rich province could hold its first-ever referendum on independence in 2026, as the area’s pro-51st state activists ramp up calls to ditch the Great White North in favor of the star-spangled banner.
“Staying with Canada is finished,” Alberta resident Steve Harvey, 52, told The Post. “We’ve been an eagle locked up in a cage for decades because of Canada. It’s time that we’re set free.” Alberta’s beef with Canada comes from growing anger over what’s viewed as the Liberal government chocking the province’s oil industry.
“They’ve blocked new pipelines, cancelled various oil and gas projects and banned the very tanker ships needed to carry these resources to new markets,” Smith said this week in a livestreamed address to Albertans. Fed up Albertans, who held a separation rally last week at the Edmonton legislature attended by close to 500, are also urging their countrymen to write to the White House to express support to join the union.
Danielle Smith, Premier of Alberta and Leader of the United Conservative Party, has tried to calm growing tensions by agreeing to hold a referendum on separation if enough people ask for one.

States are almost always admitted in pairs. But one advantage of having 51 is the VP will rarely have to cast a tie-breaking vote in the Senate.
ReplyDeleteThis is just hot air to get attention from Ottawa. It's NOT going to happen. The Canadian commies would send their military, such as it is, into Alberta to prevent it if necessary. NO WAY they allow that much in resources to leave their control.
ReplyDeleteI can tell you that Albertans are tired of funding eastern Canada. Liberal thinking...the entire country should share the wealth of Alberta...
