Conservatives built the Alberta separatist movement. Now they have to break it Former Alberta premier Jason Kenney spent years whipping voters into a frenzy against Ottawa. Now, at least, he's doing something to put out the fire he helped start. Will any of his Conservative coll...

Conservatives spent over a decade feeding the insatiable appetite in Alberta for anger and alienation towards Ottawa.

Identity protective cognition prevents facts from being effective in changing opinions. A segment of Albertans, especially separatists, have tied their identity to being victims. This makes it nearly impossible to rationalize with them.

Alberta Separatists Are About to Flood the Internet With Propaganda. Here’s What to Watch For. In four days, the Alberta Prosperity Project (APP) will begin collecting signatures for a citizen-led initiative they hope will trigger the process for Alberta to leave Canada.

”Take your life as it exists today. Now imagine no Canadian passport. Imagine border checks to visit family in B.C. or Manitoba. Imagine your pension, healthcare, trade agreements, currency, and mobility all thrown into uncertainty, overnight.”
