## Resource

Alberta’s separatist movement, once roaring in late 2024 fueled by anger over federal Liberal policies, is now facing a dramatic shift. With Prime Minister Mark Carney’s rising popularity and a new pipeline deal on the table, many voters are reconsidering separation ahead of October’s referendum. Critics like Michael Wagner argue Carney’s bridge-building is undermining their cause—claiming the Liberals were once their best advocates. Carney’s approval has jumped to 49%, buoyed by international pressure that’s energized federalist sentiment. Alberta’s Premier signing a pipeline MOU with Carney may signal progress, offering a fresh reason for Albertans to stay united.
