Absolutely 100% no. I am a Canadian first and an Albertan second.
And I think if this type of movement ever went to a poll, it would never pass. Why? Because as I have just stated, I think most Albertans are like me, Canadian first. Then there is the fact that around half those living in Alberta now, originally came from another province, and in fairly recent times too. They have not been Albertan long enough to support Alberta's secession from Canada.
There are alternatives to go through in regards to parliamentary reform before separation should even be considered.
And perhaps now, seeing how democracy at Canada is badly failing, there might be a renewed interest in reforming our system to actually make it work.
We are a young country, we are going through growing pains, but we are not at the stage yet of leaving the family and running away and slamming the door.
