Alberta Independence Rally Sparks Debate at Legislature

 

Hundreds of Albertans gathered at the Alberta Legislature in Edmonton on Saturday to rally in support of separating from Canada. The demonstration, fueled by frustration over federal policies and the recent Liberal election victory, saw participants waving Alberta flags and even some displaying U.S. flags.

As tensions rise, the debate over Alberta’s future within Canada continues to unfold, with both supporters and critics making their voices heard.
