Alberta Businesses Weigh Separation

Alberta’s separation debate is hitting home hard: nearly half of surveyed businesses are considering leaving if Alberta goes independent, with two-thirds already feeling operational harm—and 74% seeing no economic upside. Economist Trevor Tombe warns separation could slash GDP per capita by 6%, wipe out 175,000 jobs, cost $62 billion annually in trade, and drain $10–15 billion in investment, drawing parallels to the UK’s Brexit fallout. Voters will decide this fall—businesses are already fleeing the conversation. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
