Juno News - Why do Albertans support separation？

00:00:00.000 Hi everybody, it's Alexa Poza with Juneau News and I'm at the Alberta Prosperity Project Town Hall here in Edmonton

00:00:05.480 and I'm about to get some reactions on Alberta separation.

00:00:09.160 Can you name some of the reasons why you're in favor of Alberta separation?

00:00:12.620 It's nothing against Canada or Canadians.

00:00:14.860 It doesn't seem like the Canada of today is the same as the Canada of my past.

00:00:19.860 Nothing is going to change unless we become independent.

00:00:23.360 Mostly fiscal ramifications.

00:00:25.640 Yeah, just the amount of money that exits Alberta and goes to the Eastern Provinces,

00:00:30.640 you know, particularly the Mary Times and Quebec.

00:00:33.640 Also because of, like, the trajectory that I see Canada going in, in terms of, like, authoritarianism.

00:00:38.640 I like the idea that perhaps in five years' time, after we go independent,

00:00:44.640 there may not be any more income tax.

00:00:46.640 I like the idea that there'd be $45 to $65 billion more a year coming into Alberta,

00:00:53.640 Alberta and that's going to enable us to fix our health care system, lower the tuition for kids

00:00:59.560 going to school, work out a nice, a better deal with the Indigenous people. So, you know, it's

00:01:06.920 just, it just, the list just goes on and on.
