Summary
Four ex-Conservative MPs, including Jay Hill, are now backing a referendum on Alberta’s independence, arguing Ottawa consistently undervalues Alberta’s economic contributions and ignores its resource-based interests. They say decades of unresolved grievances make separation the only realistic path forward, especially since constitutional reforms are unattainable. While most Albertans oppose independence, support runs higher among current provincial government backers. They believe pushing the idea could shift public opinion and force meaningful change—or, if not, pave the way for full sovereignty.
