Alberta’s Separatist Stampede
Manage episode 482978269 series 3407224
Alberta separatism is making headlines again, this time driven largely by figures associated with far-right politics and the Freedom Convoy who are disgruntled about the federal election results.
Groups within the province are now organizing a petition for a referendum and it looks increasingly like they may succeed at putting a question about Alberta independence on the ballot in some form or another next year.
How likely is it that the Alberta independence movement could achieve its goals? How seriously should they be taken? And what are the origins of Alberta's independence movement? Mount Royal University professor Roberta Lexier joins PressProgress' Alberta Reporter Stephen Magusiak to explore the roots Alberta's separatist movement.
