## Resource

The Republic of Alberta by Tyler Dawson explores the provinces long-standing grievances with Ottawa, fueled by recent polls showing 29% support for separation. Premier Danielle Smiths pro-federal stance before the election was criticized, and Mark Carneys prime ministership added to the tension. Albertas historical alienation, dating back to the early 1900s, has been exacerbated by social media, which allows separatists to spread their message without a central leader or distinct culture. The movement, despite lacking major media support, could impact investments, bargaining power, and federal-provincial relations, as Albertans question Canadas appreciation for their contributions.
