The Conservative Leader in the House of Commons has expressed strong support for a united Canada but refrained from explicitly condemning a potential referendum on Alberta separation. When questioned about his reluctance to oppose such a referendum, he emphasized that provincial leaders should address matters within their jurisdictions.

Recent online discussions indicate growing support for a separation referendum in Alberta. The provincial government has introduced legislation to lower the threshold for petitions to trigger such a vote, though the Premier has stated that separation will not be pursued directly. Instead, the government would respect democratic processes if a petition meets the required criteria.

The Conservative Party, which secured most seats in Alberta and Saskatchewan in the recent election, argues that reversing certain federal policies would address regional discontent and reduce separatist sentiments. Key demands include repealing specific criminal justice reforms, eliminating carbon taxes, and overturning energy-related legislation.

As Parliament resumes, the Conservative Leader will focus on opposing Liberal policies while promoting national unity. Meanwhile, the government has signaled that while the consumer carbon tax remains inactive, no immediate legislative action is planned to repeal it.
