HANNAFORD: Alberta independence in 2026, and the difference between Eastern and Western Canada
About this episode
A new petition approved by Elections Alberta could put Alberta independence to a vote. Launched by the Alberta Prosperity Project, organizers must collect 177,732 signatures to trigger a referendum.
Political scientist Barry Cooper of the University of Calgary joins The Hannaford Show to assess whether Alberta is heading toward a historic vote—or another warning shot to Ottawa.
