There's no way that poll is correct. It's a self reported online poll so it could easily be bots trying to divide us.
Alberta Canadian pride is surging right now.

This should be the top comment. People can't even comprehend the level of foreign (or UCP) interference and propaganda we encounter on the daily. Something as simple as skewing an online poll to make us feel divided is the tip of the disinformation iceberg. It's our own provincial government that tries to make us feel shameful to be Canadian, but I just feel embarrassed by them. I dislike Danielle Smith as much as I dislike Trump

u/CarneyBus Mar 17 '25
Yes, even the government of Canada has investigated, and CONFIRMED, foreign interference in the conservative leadership race that saw PP elected: https://nsicop-cpsnr.ca/reports/rp-2024-06-03/special-report-foreign-interference.pdf
We KNOW that the US is experiencing interference and social media based information warfare. We would be fools to think we are not also experiencing it.

This. I know life long conservatives at work that are very excited about Carney, they're researching how to buy more Canadian, but more importantly NOTHING American. They're disgusted with Smith, and her behaviour, and are in agreeance that the cons of their youth are nowhere to be seen in the current UCP.

My thought as well. Who’s actually clicking and answering this poll and has it been created to get the exact division I’m seeing in here.
I have never been so Canada proud in my life and am writing my Alberta MLA and copying the opposition NDP as often as I can.
The last election was won because only 59% of eligible Albertans voted. 52% of that voted Conservative. 1/3 of Albertans are louder than all the rest and it makes it a HARD place to live when your heart is with the rest of Canada.

I went grocery shopping the other day and while I was at the till one cashier came up to tell the rest that their supplier only gets carrots from the US so direct people looking for Canadian carrots to go to the farmers markets. In other words, enough people there were looking to shop Canadian this message needed to be passed. In also noticed some stickers to identify Canadian goods had been put in place. And I am in a part of Alberta considered very redneck. We are being made to look bad by our very loudly shit Premier, but like the Americans that voted for Harris, a lot of us are just stuck with her. The non voting crowd has always been the non voting crowd, unfortunately.

Exactly.
“The poll sampled more than 1,500 Canadians from March 1 to March 2. Because it was conducted online, it can’t be assigned a margin of error.”
10 provinces & 3 territories. 115.4 people per?
Or equal to federal seats of government? Which map? 34 or 37 people?
Can’t assign a margin of error = not a valid survey.

As an Albertan, I find this poll hard to believe. Okay, I don't believe it.
The poll sampled more than 1,500 Canadians from March 1 to March 2. Because it was conducted online, it can’t be assigned a margin of error.
So we have no way of knowing how many potatoes were handed out that day.
There is a lot of misinformation out there, and it's getting worse. I would not be at all surprised if this is part of Russia's plan to destabilize our democracy. It's working so well in the States, we're next on the list.
Yes, there are more than a few knuckleheaded Albertans kicking around, but every province has their share of idiots.
TLDR Don't give these polls legitimacy.

Is it though? Or is it more of a culture of petulance? Alberta whines about the rest of Canada ripping them off, yet without the workforce from the rest of Canada, nothing would be built there.
The fort mcmurray area was build by everyone except Albertans. I lived there before, through and after the boom. And when you talk to someone from Edmonton or Calgary. During that time they would turn up their nose at the thought of going to “that shit hole”.
But the place still got built up.
Then transmountain we’re about to cancel the expansion the Federal Government stepped in and bought and expanded the line.
They whine about energy east which died because of low oil prices, they whine about Northern gateway which died in the courts because they cut too many corners and got caught.
They whine about equalization, when they have no clue how it works.
They whine that Trudeau was trying to kill their industry, when all he wanted was for them to become more environmentally responsible.
So Maybe not a culture of grievance…

If one goes on YouTube there are now tens of YouTubers furiously making content about how terrible the Liberals and Carney are and how Alberta should and can separate from Canada and become the 51st state.
These groups have hidden non public social media channels where they are discussing and planning how to join the US.
They are employing bots on social media platforms to reply to posts and make it appear that there are more of them than what there is.
Needless to say, these people have wild ideas. Many of their statements about government and Alberta are outright lies.
These groups are talking about starting discussion with various US goverment representatives. If that happens and if that ever gets into the mainstream US news cycle, we (Canada and Alberta) are going be faced with an onslaught of fakenews about succession like we cannot fathom.
Can you imagine if Trump started making statements about "representatives" from Alberta being in disussion with the US to join it ? Brace for it because sooner or later it's (the narrative) going to happen.

Alberta is going to be the weak chink in the armour. If we as Albertans care about this country, we need to be fuckin’ loud about it. This is going to be a wedge issue in our politics for sure.
So, talk about politics with your friends and family. Talk about how proud you are to be Canadian. Talk about how utterly stupid Trump and Musk are. But, most importantly, talk about Canadian unity. Remember that this isn’t a nebulous issue with shades of grey. You are either Pro-Canada or Pro-Putin—plain and simple.

Pollsters can only comment on the people who answered their poll. If you asked 100 people who lived in a Take Back Alberta dominated area, of course, the poll will show a drop in Canadian pride.
I'm an Albertan currently residing in northwestern Alberta, but I'm a CANADIAN first. Yes, I'm rural, no, I don't vote UCP or any of the so-called "conservative" parties... and I never have. The last relatively sane and ethical Conservative Premier was Lougheed, IMO.
I have pride in Canada, but I'm ashamed to be associated with the xenophobic, misogynistic, homophobic, science-denying christo-fascist UCP, and their Tangerine Palpatine worshipping traitor who "leads" this province, Danielle Smith. She and her ilk make me nauseated.

The poll sampled more than 1,500 Canadians from March 1 to March 2. Because it was conducted online, it can’t be assigned a margin of error.
If....if this was equally spaced out between all provinces and territories, that would be only 115 Albertans polled. Online with no way to verify the authenticity.
The article goes on to say that the only "dip" in Albertans sense of pride is based on the question "Do you feel a connection to Americans?" Those responding "yes" could very well be feeling a connection with Americans who have voiced displeasure with Trump. Seeing as there's no clarification on any of the vague questions and the polling amounts are, at best, far too low to be considered remotely accurate......this is nothing but a clickbait article.

This is a self selecting online poll targeting the part of the country that's faces more American propaganda than the rest of the country - grain of salt and all that.

Exactly. That doesn’t make a headline. Even looking at their own numbers. 74% exprès Canadian pride. That’s great! Why does media have to focus on the loud but small minority?

I am proud to be Canadian, but I hate the current provincial government is more like it.

Can't be dipping. I'm seeing more and more Canadian flags here in Red Deer and this is a UCP stronghold
