Alberta Unbound

Zounds! Western separatism—and the Western Standard—made the Drudge Report today. It seems a poll by the Western Standard suggests 35.6% of Westerners would consider separating from Canada. It’s up to 42 percent in Alberta. That’s a percentage similar to that for separatism in the PQ’s first Quebec referendum, on a similar question. Bad mojo here.

Even more ominously, separatism is most popular among the Western young.

There goes the neighbourhood, eh?
