Young Albertans are driving a massive surge in support for Alberta independence, a new poll reveals, with separatist sentiment sharply climbing among voters under the age of 35.

Support for Alberta separating from Canada is highest among young people, according to a Research Co. survey.

The poll found that 42 per cent of Albertans aged 18 to 34 supported the province becoming an independent country, a 15-point increase since 2023. Support was lowest among those 55 and older, despite a nine-point jump compared to June 2023.

Overall support for Alberta becoming independent was 31 per cent.

When asked whether Alberta should join the United States, overall support fell to 24 per cent. However, those wanting the province to join its southern neighbour were again highest among those aged 18 to 34 and lowest among those 55 and older.

Research Co. noted that overall support for separation has climbed nine points since a similar poll conducted in June 2023.

The poll, conducted from Jan. 4 through 6, revealed that while 17% of respondents strongly support independence, 49% strongly opposed it.

No M/F breakdown. Do young women also want a republic?

No, they want the iPhone 18 and all-inclusive Bora Bora this March.

Even though as a Maritimer many Albertans hate my guts I wish them all the best in their secessionist movement. Decentralized and localized governments are accountable governments

Why do Albertans hate Maritimers? A lot of us have property out there and spend our summers in the region?

I personally prefer the maritimes as a place i am looking to settle at when i retire. Very nice people and country out there. My son even wants to be a fisherman, own his own boat and catch lobster and crab.

When this forum started a few years ago there was quite a lot of anti-Maritime vitriol coming from Alberta posters, though it has died down a lot recently as Edmonton and Calgary have started joining Clown World

Considering most of the youth coming up in the next few decades will be non-white, I struggle to see a light at the end of the tunnel.

Greenland or the remnants of Canada? Which will American gobble up first?

Withthe new source of oil America won't need Canada and have to deal with their stupid bullshit.

Like North Korea without the ethnostate

America does need Canada. Canada can no longer continue to be a threat to America. The US has a new National Security Strategy, The Trump Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine. It's about restoring American preeminence in the Western Hemisphere.

 

[TheGreatestState]

I'd guess Greenland is meant to pave the way. Seems to be having that effect.

Polls... How can we ever know a poll is for real let alone unbiased. Besides, ever known anyone who actually answers polls?

I’m not saying it’s either one.
