NEW - Manufactured or Real: Jamie Ellerton and Lindsay Broadhead on Alberta Separatism and Foreign Interference

Alberta separatism is in the news. Jamie Ellerton and Lindsay Broadhead both question how much of it is Albertans and how much of it is being fed from outside the country.

Lindsay Broadhead puts a number on baseline opposition: eight to thirteen percent of the population will be against something regardless of what it is. Her point is that separatism has always existed in some form. What is different now is the platform those voices have been handed, amplified by accounts with no stake in Canadian politics. Jamie Ellerton says the harder question is whether the response should be policing the rules or simply winning the argument, and notes that even the government does not have a clear answer on who enforces what or how.

On the domestic front, both see early signs of pressure on Mark Carney. Jamie Ellerton says Carney won the election on the inputs. Lindsay Broadhead says Canadians are still waiting to see what comes out of the oven.

Topics: Alberta separatism, foreign interference Canada, Mark Carney domestic policy, Canadian political discourse, self-checkout ethics
