More than half of Canadians say they understand Alberta separatism

A growing number of Canadians say they understand Alberta’s restlessness—even if they don’t agree with the idea of the province breaking away. A new poll shows that more than half of Canadians get where Alberta separatists are coming from, but nearly two-thirds oppose the notion of an actual split. The data points to a simmering national tension: frustration in Alberta, unease elsewhere, and an uncertain path ahead as political leaders tiptoe between empathy and unity. The question now isn’t just what Albertans want—but what the rest of the country is willing to reckon with. Catherine Morrison with The Canadian Press has the full story.
