More than half of Canadians say they understand Alberta separatism: poll
- A Leger poll conducted from May 16 to 18, 2025, revealed that over half of Canadians recognize the reasons behind Alberta's interest in pursuing independence.
- The survey follows growing frustration in Alberta over natural resource management and dissatisfaction with federal election results, as Premier Danielle Smith seeks a new deal with Ottawa.
- The poll shows 26% of Canadians support Alberta's independence while 62% oppose it, with strong division especially visible within Alberta where 47% support separation.
- Leger’s executive vice-president Sébastien Dallaire remarked that many people are open to the idea of challenging the status quo, though he emphasized that the movement’s future momentum will largely depend on upcoming developments.
- The survey suggests Alberta separatism remains a sensitive issue that could influence national unity discussions, especially if other provinces consider similar paths.
