Is Alberta’s Separation Movement Falling Apart?

About this episode

The episode discusses the growing frustrations and divisions within Alberta's separation movement amidst political turmoil and leadership questions.

Frustration with Ottawa is growing, emotions are running high, and the separation movement in Alberta appears more divided and chaotic than ever. Court decisions, political infighting, and questions about leadership and strategy are leaving many Albertans asking: what’s actually going on? Is there a real plan behind the movement—or is this spiraling out of control? And instead of dismissing the anger, should Canada be addressing the policy issues driving people toward separation in the first place? Join David Leis live with Cory Morgan, author and contributor with the Western Standard, and Marco Navarro-Genie, VP of Research at Frontier Centre, as they unpack the growing tensions, the political fallout, and what could happen next.
