When a Prairie Protest Movement and American Talk of Annexation Coincide.

The author reflects on the current political climate in Alberta and the historical context of western Canadian separatism, highlighting how economic, social, and international influences shape secessionist sentiment. Topics include the economic and political grievances driving Alberta's secession discussions, historical precedents of prairie protest movements and regional consciousness, and the impact of U.S. political dynamics, especially under Donald Trump, on Canadian unity debates.
