Prairie Canadians are fed up.
In the province of Alberta, you’ll find Canada’s most politically conservative residents. They don’t feel represented by Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government. They constantly push back against the American stereotype that Canada’s people are by enlarge, mostly liberal.

If you analyze their voting patterns, that’s not the case at all. In fact, while Trudeau got re-elected twice, he lost the popular vote both times. This is because Canada has a riding system, which is similar to our electoral college. Trudeau won simply because the liberal ridings are all carved up and concentrated south of Toronto. That neck of the woods has disproportionate dominance when it comes to Canadian elections.
So Albertans are fed up. They’re one of the world’s top producers of oil. But Trudeau wants to nix future pipelines and step on their industry.
So why not just leave and become part of the USA?
Now, Alberta51 has been established and is gaining momentum as a key Canadian advocacy group.
Someone from the group spoke to Fox News anonymously. He points out the seizure of freedom convoy supporting bank accounts, the axing of pipelines, and the arrest of a pastor who spoke to a group convoy protestors. The government said he was making threats. Recordings show that during his speech, he specifically asked his viewers not to get violent.
You can’t the blame the group at all.
The source in the group tells Fox News, “The monarchy is the supreme ruler and his representative is the prime minister and the governor general. And really, it’s just a rubber stamp. Whatever the prime minister says, that pretty much goes. We saw that during the trucker convoy when Trudeau basically shut off everybody’s rights and freedoms, and nobody did anything. No one said anything. In Canada, we don’t have rights and freedoms like in the U.S.”
Will these separatist dreams ever become reality? It’s doubtful, but never say never.
For the longest time, Quebec has flirted with separating from the Canada and becoming their own nation. In 1980 and 1995, Quebec held a referendum to leave. If voters said yes, they’d have the power to do so. Quebecers decided to remain in Canada, but each time the margin was razor thin. Only one percentage point made the difference both times.
And in the last federal election, the Block Quebecois won big. While they didn’t take the prime minister post, the Bloc held steady with 32 seats in parliament won. And in the election before that, the Bloc gained a whopping additional 22 seats, becoming a force to be reckoned with.
Their leader, Yves-Francois Blanchet, was at the helm in both elections. He has flirted with the idea of separating, without outright endorsing it.
Still, expect Blanchet to connect with his separatist allies on the other side of the nation. Perhaps he’d ally with this group and instead of becoming part of the US, they’d become their own disjointed nation. Or Quebec’s independence could garner some momentum for Alberta51.
