The article discusses the growing separatist sentiment in Alberta, Canada, following a recent referendum where nearly half a million Albertans voted in favor of holding a binding referendum on separation from Canada. The author, John Ivison, draws parallels between Alberta's current situation and historical separatist movements in Quebec and Scotland. While a majority of Albertans voted to remain in Canada, the referendum results indicate a significant underlying desire for greater autonomy. The article notes that similar levels of support for separatism in Quebec and Scotland decades ago led to the rise of viable political movements that are now in power. Ivison argues that once separatist movements are awakened, they do not easily go back to sleep, even if the immediate referendum result is in favor of remaining within Canada. The piece also examines the political landscape, mentioning that Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is caught between separatist sympathizers and federalists, while Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has positioned himself as a critic of federal immigration policies that may appeal to separatist voters. The article concludes that while separatism is a slow-burning fire that is hard to extinguish, voters are not necessarily eager to break up a successful country, and the next focus for separatists may be on immigration policy.
