Former Alberta Premier Jason Kenney Speaks Out Against Separatism

Former Alberta Premier Jason Kenney criticized federal policies while defending Alberta’s approximately $20 billion annual contribution to Canadian fiscal federalism in a detailed social media statement, urging the province to pursue alliances rather than separation from Canada.

“Despite making a net contribution of ~$20 billion to fiscal federalism every year, we have faced a government in Ottawa fundamentally hostile to our largest industry,” Kenney wrote on X.

“Alberta wins when we make alliances with other provinces,” Kenney added, pointing to multiple successful court challenges his administration launched against federal carbon taxes and environmental regulations.

The intervention comes as Alberta and Saskatchewan oppose proposed increases to industrial carbon taxation that Kenney claims would “massively disadvantage our trade exposed industries.”

“Separatists can’t elect a dog catcher in Alberta,” Kenney wrote, dismissing independence movements despite growing frustration over federal policies some Albertans view as hostile to the province’s primary industry.

In a Calgary Herald column, Don Braid quoted Kenney describing the separatist movement as “a fringe movement that I think is counterproductive,” noting that in 50 years, separatists have only managed to elect one candidate in a byelection.

“We know that Canada isn’t perfect, but it is our home and native land,” Kenney concluded.
