Is Alberta better off leaving Canada or are we stronger together?

Carlin Lutzer sits down with Thomas Lukaszuk, former Alberta Deputy Premier, and Serena Mah, communications lead for the Forever Canadian movement. 

They tackle the hot-button issue of Alberta separatism from the other side of the debate, exploring what separation would really mean for the economy, national unity, and everyday Albertans. 

From constitutional hurdles and investment fallout to emotional identity and political rhetoric, the discussion reveals why some Albertans are rallying to keep the province proudly Canadian.

4:01 What would it actually take for Alberta to separate from Canada? 

9:23 How does talk of separation affect Alberta’s economy and investors? 

12:40 Why is “a sovereign Alberta within Canada” politically risky? 

18:08 Could Alberta survive economically as a landlocked country? 

46:01 What does it really mean to be Canadian in divided times?
