Former British Columbia premier Christy Clark said she never thought she would see the day where Alberta would want to leave Canada.
“And that speaks to, Jay (Martin), I think the intense sense of alienation that people in Saskatchewan and Alberta are feeling now,” said Clark in a video.
The video starts off with Clark saying her father used to say Quebec always wants out, but Alberta wants in. Her father joked about British Columbia sitting by and being happy with where it is.
She said Canadian politicians are “trying to divide us on so many different issues, but especially around this invented conflict between protecting the environment and extracting resources.”
She added the Canadian government is setting provinces against each other.
The former premier went on to say people in parts of Canada are telling Western Canada they do not want their dirty oil and filthy resources. She said energy workers end up believing their way of life is disregarded.
Clark said these people feel like the dignity of their work is being downgraded. Most of all, she said these people “feel like the rest of the country is ungrateful for what Western Canada contributes to this country.”
“And I don’t think people want to keep on giving when they don’t get any thanks,” she said.
About one-fifth of Canadians in various provinces believe their jurisdiction would be better off joining the United States and becoming an American state, according to a February 1 poll done by Research Co.
The province with the highest proportion of people who want to turn into an American state is Alberta at 21%.
The proportion of Albertans who think their province would be better off as its own country fell to 26% this month, down seven points since June and well below the all-time high of 40% registered in 2019.

"all-time high of 40% registered in 2019." . . . .
What was happening in 2019? The US Trump Economy was flying high . . . Lowest Minority Unemployment in History, 1000s of Manufacturing Jobs returning, Best US Economy in 40 years . . . and the US was putting Tariffs & Pressure on the ChiCommies . . .
Of course this upset the Elites & Wall Street . . . who were and are heavily invested in China . . . then they Released the Wuhan Virus from the Fauci Funded Bio Lab . . .
“The proportion of Albertans who think their province would be better off as its own country fell to 26% this month, down seven points since June and well below the all-time high of 40% registered in 2019.“
So where did this come from? One of fake polls I suspect. Or maybe it’s from the “maple syrup” they been injecting to make people comply and “be happy”! I don’t get it. 🤔
Christy Clarke has zero validation . Read SAM COO0ER’S BOOK WILFUL BLINDNESS she is as bad as Trudeau. She loved the money the Chinese were LAUNDERING IN,THE CASINOS IN BC. If WE DO NOT HAVE A CONSERVATIVE PROVINCIAL CANDIDATE IN MY RIDING ON VAN ISLAND I WILL NOT VOTE🤯😤
We need to separate NOW, why wait..? This bullshit has been going on long enough. Wake up Alberta, we do not need the Feds or anyone else telling us what to do...
Alberta could compromise on the 51st state idea by becoming independent in free association with the U.S. That way we could keep more of the riff-raff in the U.S. from coming up here (not just Americans, but all the illegals) but still benefit from greater ties to the U.S. economy.
I have been an Alberta separatist for the last 5 years. I don't want to give up on Canada.... But, if Pierre Poilievre is beaten by Trudeau and the Liberals in the next federal election..... I'm done.... Time for Alberta to separate!
Let's not wait for Mr Poilieve to win, lets separate now. We do not need a Federal Govt that's owned by Charles that leech in England. They write policy. NOT LAW... We do not need monarchy...PERIOD
Christy and her Liberal government (BC does not have a competitive provincial conservative party) are one of the main reasons that BC has an NDP government. Self-entitlement/arrogance coupled with a disdain for any area outside of certain sections of the lower mainland/South Okanagan and did not result in voter adulation.
Unfortunately, in a situation similar to Canada, the lower mainland/island voted in an NDP majority with some NDP seats in the interior. The provincial Liberal party has undergone a name and hopefully perspective change so there may be the faintest glimmer of hope on a distant horizon come next election.
Dubious of the low numbers given the aggressive levels of alienation coming out of our national urinal in Ottawa. Alberta needs to take control of everything that Quebec has, and just like Saskatchewan is doing. Then, lets see if the Feds and Eastern Canada have a change of heart when their transfer payments cease and their pensions dry up due to no money coming from the province with the dirty oil and resources.
I could not care less what this unctuous glad-hander from BC has to say. How patronizing that she wants to somehow validate the opinions of people whom she generally has contempt for. Ruin your own province, leave us alone.

Stupid pig was one of the main enablers of ChiCom fentanyl dealing money laundering into our BC real estate
You do remember how she won the leadership race?
Clueless Pamela Martin signed up 100s of members to vote her in . . .
