Alberta Separatism
Alberta separatism is a movement advocating for the province's secession from Canada, with some groups seeking a union with Western provinces or joining the United States. The movement has gained traction due to perceived power disparities with Ottawa and issues surrounding Alberta's economic policies. Recent legal challenges have emerged regarding the constitutionality of a proposed referendum on separation, particularly concerning First Nations treaty rights.
