Leaders on the Frontier: Alberta’s push for independence, driven by decades of federal neglect and anti-energy policies (Trudeau’s emissions caps, pipeline cancellations et al.), has reached a tipping point. With 30% of Albertans open to separation, Premier Danielle Smith’s astute alignment with separatist petitions—while not outright endorsing them—signals a strategic challenge to Ottawa (she is effectively serving as Opposition to the Liberal government at the current time).
