Alberta's Separatist Momentum Is Fading Into the Sunset

Has Alberta's separatist movement peaked? Political scientist Duane Bratt argues recent polling suggests support for Alberta separation remains below 30 per cent and may be declining. He explains why Premier Danielle Smith is trying to balance federalism with pressure from separatists inside the UCP, the constitutional and Indigenous issues surrounding a referendum, and why the movement faces significant legal and political obstacles. The discussion also explores Smith's broader political challenges, from mounting controversies to the question of whether her political "Teflon" is finally beginning to wear thin. #Alberta #AlbertaPolitics #DanielleSmith #Separatism #CanadaPolitics #UCP #EnergyPolitics #MarkhamOnEnergy #EnergiMedia
