Following the Liberal Party’s election win, a wave of frustration has swept across Alberta, with many residents expressing deep disappointment and reigniting calls for separation from Canada. The sentiment, driven by long-standing grievances over federal policies and perceived neglect of Western interests, has intensified in recent days.
Several pro-independence groups have reported a surge in support, organizing rallies and online campaigns under the banner of “Wexit” — Western exit from the federation. Residents who feel alienated by the election outcome say they are seeking a future where Alberta can make its own decisions on energy, economy, and governance.
Political observers note that while the movement has gained momentum, it remains unclear how far it will go in translating frustration into formal political action. Still, the post-election atmosphere in Alberta reflects growing regional divides and a renewed push for provincial autonomy.
