One clear message from the referendum: Alberta separatists should go back to their separatist micro parties, rather than trying to destabilize Alberta by infiltrating a party created and elected to support national unity. Reminder: 👉The last time a separatist party contested an Alberta provincial election, the Alberta Freedom Party got a province wide total of 9,000 votes (0.54%) in 2019. 👉The last time a Western separatist party contested a federal election, the Maverick Party got 35,000 votes (0.2%) in all of Western Canada in 2021. 👉Since they began running in 1980, Alberta / Western separatist parties have contested over 20 federal & provincial elections, winning on average 1% of the vote, one seat, and zero governments 👉By comparison, since the PQ’s foundation in 1968, Quebec separatists have won over 1500 seats federally and provincially, and elected 5 provincial governments Albertans have absolutely legitimate grievances. Too often we have faced federal and some other provincial governments that undermined our province and its hugely positive contribution to the federation. We must continue to build alliances, and make the case for fairness in the federation. But let’s be clear about one thing: Alberta separatism is not, and never has been, a serious political movement.
