The West wants out, Quebec wants in, and Canadian unity turned
into a campaign issue this week after former Reform Party and
opposition leader Preston Manning claimed increasing numbers of
Westerners – particularly Albertans – may see secession as the
only option if the Liberals win. Yet in Quebec, Bloc Quebecois
leader Yves-Francois Blanchet took the opposite tack, downplaying
separatist sentiment and arguing Canada needs to be united in its
response to Donald Trump’s tariffs. So is separatism REALLY a
ballot box issue this time around? Catherine Cullen in Ottawa,
Jason Markusoff in Calgary and Daniel Thibeault in Montreal try
to unite their 3 solitudes with an answer.
