Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

What could the consequences be if Alberta turned its back on Canada?In The Republic of Alberta, Globe and Mail journalist Tyler Dawson delivers the definitive history and analysis of Alberta's long-simmering separatist movement. From its colonial roots and early resentment toward Ottawa, through the oil-fuelled grievances of the NEP era, to the rise of modern populism and convoy protests, Dawson charts a clear trajectory of Western alienation. Blending historical insight with contemporary reporting, he examines the thinkers, politicians, and cultural flashpoints that have shaped the separatist impulse. As Alberta Premier Danielle Smith courts separatist sentiment more openly than her predecessors, Dawson explores the uncertain future of a province increasingly questioning its place in Canada.
