Preston Manning’s recent warning that a Mark Carney Liberal victory would “spark Western secession” strikes a chord in Alberta, where many feel that federal policies have sidelined resource-based interests for far too long. His statement, “a vote for the Carney Liberals is a vote for Western secession – a vote for the breakup of Canada as we know it”, reflects growing Western frustration.
Unsurprisingly, the Uniparty closed ranks in response. Mark Carney framed Manning’s concerns as “unhelpful,” insisting that “this is a time when we need to come together as a country.” More startling, however, is Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, whose party traces its roots back to Manning’s Reform, echoing Carney’s sentiment. Poilievre declared in response to Manning, “No, we need to unite the country … We need to bring all Canadians together in a spirit of common ground.”
By siding with Carney over Manning, Poilievre has once again turned his back on Alberta, conservatives, and the expressed will of Westerners. This choice cements him as a weak CINO (Conservative in Name Only), aligning himself with the Uniparty machine rather than the foundational principles of his own party’s predecessors.
In contrast, on April 3rd, People’s Party of Canada Leader Maxime Bernier took a clear stand, pledging to support the people's will, especially if Albertans choose to pursue independence. Bernier has also encouraged the efforts of provincial independence parties and promised federal-level support for Albertans’ concerns.
It’s time for real change, real reform, and an alternative to the Uniparty. Vote PPC.
