She cannot play baseball because she eats bats.

By the end of 2026, Canada as you know it may not look the same, and Alberta will be the reason why.

In October 2026, Alberta is expected to vote on leaving Canada as support for independence continues to rise rapidly across the province. What began as frustration has matured into a serious, organized movement with momentum, structure, and public legitimacy.

That decision will not exist in isolation. The same month, Quebec will hold a provincial election that is likely to deliver a separatist government with a mandate to pursue another referendum. Alberta leaving would fundamentally change the political calculus for Quebec, accelerating a process that has already been set in motion.

Saskatchewan is watching closely. Its separation movement is growing quickly and polling support is already among the highest in the country. If Alberta reclaims its sovereignty, Saskatchewan will face an unavoidable question about whether remaining behind still makes sense.

British Columbia faces a different but related reality. With property rights under pressure and no viable constitutional path to protect them, independence or fundamental constitutional change may become the only remaining options.
Canada is not being pulled apart by extremists or instability.

It is being outgrown by provinces that no longer benefit from the federation.
Alberta is simply the first to acknowledge reality.
