Poll tests support for Alberta separatism referendum
Original: Alberta separatism referendum poll
A new poll has gauged whether Albertans would back a referendum on separating from Canada, putting a long-simmering fringe movement back into the provincial conversation. The results arrive amid ongoing frustration in Alberta over federal energy and equalization policies, with commentators divided on whether separation sentiment reflects real momentum or a vocal minority.
Why now: Separatist sentiment in Alberta resurfaces whenever federal-provincial tensions over energy policy flare, and the poll gives the debate fresh numbers.
Rank over time, top of the chart is #1. 3 snapshots from 13 h ago to 8 h ago.
