In the wake of the recent Liberal election victory, political tensions in Western Canada have intensified. Many Albertans and Saskatchewanians feel increasingly alienated from Ottawa, citing concerns over federal policies that they believe undermine their economic interests.

As the new government settles in, the challenge will be to bridge the growing divide between Ottawa and the West. Whether Carney can successfully engage Western leaders and address their concerns remains to be seen, but the stakes for national unity have never been higher.
