Alberta Independence is Inching Forward; Glenn Beck Says the Trump Administration is Ready to Recognize Alberta as an Independent Country

The Alberta Independence Movement is proceeding toward secession from Canada. Toward that end, there will be a peaceful rally at the provincial capital in Edmonton tomorrow.

“Independence rally at Alberta Legislature could see tens of thousands” [Juno News – 10/21/2025]

Tens of thousands of Albertans are expected to descend upon the Alberta Legislature this Saturday for the “I Am Alberta” rally, organized by the Alberta Prosperity Project, which is also coordinating bus transport across the province.

This is a topic I keep returning to because I want to do my little part to help move the needle. Although I have stated my support for statehood for Alberta and Saskatchewan, the important thing is that the conservative prairie provinces break free from Ottawa’s suppression, irrespective of statehood, and that they know they have the support of the United States. A conservative, new nation north of the 49th parallel, with a petroleum and ranching based economy, would be a welcome neighbor.

In an August piece titled “Canada Has Recognized the Nation of Palestine, Trump Should Recognize the Independence of Alberta & Quebec” I wrote that the U.S. should offer ”whatever US security and aid is necessary for those provinces to liberate themselves from the Canadian federation, if requested.”

The Trump administration is apparently ready to do just that. Glenn Beck reports that, ”My understanding from the meetings that have occurred is that the Trump admin officials have indicated that the US would recognize a vote by the people of Alberta to become independent.”

Whatever Canada might have once been in the 20th century, that country is gone. The population of the Toronto metro area is now less than 50% Canadian-born, and Vancouver is little different. There is no expectation that immigrants assimilate or become culturally Canadian, because Canada’s own political leadership rejects the legitimacy of the country. As I have written before, “Canada’s strange political experiment is showing signs of collapse. The ruling class in Ottawa derides the very existence of their country — obsessed with ‘stolen land’ narratives and hostile to their own national culture. Their last remaining shred of civic unity is anti-Americanism.”

The prairie provinces have nominal political influence in the national government and they’re not anti-American. They’re treated like colonies or territories at best, and they deserve independence. I am glad to hear that recognition from the Trump administration is ready and waiting as soon as Alberta declares itself independent.
