I think they are harkening back to a golden age where they felt like their rights weren’t being trampled by Ottawa. I’m not sure that time ever existed, and I’m not sure that their rights are being trampled, but that’s not the point.
Similarly, they seem like the kind of people who believe they’re mavericks in a world of sheeple, so it could also be saying “don’t let yourself be sheeplified”.
Yeah. Unless they mean “the exact minute before Justin Trudeau took office”, I’m struggling to picture that moment. If you go back past the first Trudeau that people hate, you hit the worker-populist UFA/SoCred era, and the era that fueled it right before. And then that’s all the history there is.
100% chance this imaginary version of Alberta is also devoid of old but now unfashionable bits of Prairie life, and saturated with red American lifestyle imports, instead.
More like they feel trampled by the Liberals, the leader of this movement was on CBC the other day (layer of irony here) to explain their views, and it was mostly “we’re upset our party keeps losing and we want to make everyone who voted for them suffer in the same way Trump is making all of those lefties down south suffer”.
I can’t stand that fat fuck Doug Ford but I’m not threatening to secede North Bay from Ontario because the people of this province would rather shoot themselves in the foot. Like God damn, get over yourself people.
The regionalist thing is just absolutely paper thin, too. Everyone knows they’re the freshly rebranded far right, and they’re open that the entire point of sovereignty is just to force through more far-right policies. They’re not defending our linguistic and cultural distinctness from Saskatchewan, because lol.
They want to go back to a time before they felt angry about everything… which started sometime around when they started going on social media. How can they ever get back to those times again? Quick, go on social media to see what it’s telling us what to do!

I think you’re right about the Liberal thing. It seems like the Conservatives have morphed into a regional party tied to Albertan and rural identity.
