Albertaâs wealth from oil, its history as a petro-state, and the drive for self-determination reveal a complex relationship between provincial aspirations and national identity, especially amid influential economic factors.
The Alberta Prosperity Project is actively pursuing a referendum for independence from Canada, seeking support from 600,000 Albertans to challenge the current provincial leadership.
Mark Carney's recent visit to Washington emphasized Canada's rejection of Trumpist ideologies and asserted its independence, highlighting the differences between Alberta and Ottawa.
