  • This poll followed increased political tensions highlighted by Alberta Premier Danielle Smith’s bill easing citizen-initiated referendums, including on separation.
  • The survey found 55% of Canadians understand Alberta’s reasons to separate, while 26% support independence and 50% oppose it strongly.
  • Leger executive Sébastien Dallaire noted a “level of empathy” for Albertans but warned that separation “would have dire consequences” and impact the country widely.
