🇨🇦 When a province toys with exit, Ottawa has already failed
The real story is not nine side-show ballot questions. It is that Alberta separation is now credible enough to dominate the room, and the political class still treats it like a quirky regional mood swing. That is what decades of Ottawa extraction, regulatory sabotage, equalization resentment, and Trudeau-era contempt for the West produce. Even the establishment now admits the referendum threat is setting the agenda, while everyone pretends the problem is messaging instead of regime failure.
A country does not drift toward breakup because people are too emotional. It happens when sovereignty is hollowed out from the top down by central planners, green ideologues, and globalist careerists who punish energy producers while importing dependency, debt, and social fragmentation. Alberta is reacting to a federation that increasingly looks like a racket run for Laurentian interests and post-national fantasies. The warning is obvious: ignore regional consent long enough, and national unity becomes another casualty of elite arrogance.
