And AB will be TINY cause they can give away land that’s not there’s. Ie. Indigenous land.
Sorry to make assumptions, but if these right wing separatists are anything like American right wing separatists, would they not eventually just try to take it even if it wasn't officially given to them?
That's what I believe the U.S. separatists plan to do. Similar to the U.S.S.R., you'll probably see multiple states try to leave the union and form superstates. Once the larger superstates are formed they'll eventually join Trump's confederacy to invade, and attack their surrounding smaller states in order to force the remainder of the union to collapse.
Wouldn't be surprised if these Canadian separatists allied with them to eventually break up even more of Canada. In other words, it never stops with just one territory. The long term goal is to break apart countries piece by piece, and then invade to take over and reform all of North and South America.
There's this other fellow with similar goals in Europe. I'm not entirely sure, but I also suspect they (or more specifically the people who fund them) have been working together much longer than most people realize.
Seems like there's similar plans for the entire globe.
They are a tiny minority in AB. Most Albertans are very proud to be Canadian. That being said there is all of social media (US) and mainstream media (all US owned with few exceptions) which will amplify this. There’s only 5 million ppl in the entire province (there’s 6-8 million in the GTA as comparison). The main thing is they can’t take land with them that’s not theirs. It will start a war if these separatists get help from the US military to take Alberta. Also there is no independent Alberta, there is only Alberta as part of Canada or Alberta as part of the US. The US wouldn’t keep the name Alberta either cause it’s named after Queen Victoria’s husband.
I'm not disagreeing with you, but war is always the point. It's usually a tiny minority, but these movements are backed by a global campaign of disinformation and destabilization funded by oligarchs trying to gain control of natural resources and global power.
It's preventable, but you just have to be prepared for wolves in sheep's clothing who rely on the victim narrative and in-grouping.
Agree. We know.
I previously linked to a map of Alberta that shows the land that isn’t indigenous.
It’s a really small and disconnected area.
Kind of like the number of Albertans who want to separate.
My recommendation: they should just move to Idaho or Montana and become Americans.
Where? Just looked through your comment history and can’t see the map.
Well that’s annoying; my history only seems to go back 6 months; I added it last July I think. I’ll see if I can find it again; it was an official governmental map.
[edit] This isn’t the one, as it’s missing certain types of land, but it gives a feel for the situation: https://open.alberta.ca/dataset/04074608-dabc-49c6-b25e-840a4b2844ee/resource/3c91195e-9b5e-4c69-aa9e-963d4bec520e/download/ir-first-nations-reserves-and-metis-settlements-map-2025-10.pdf
Note that there’s also federal land that doesn’t belong to Alberta.
So an independent Alberta would be really REALLY small?! If I read this map correctly.
