Part 4/8:
The discontent isn’t limited to just the Liberal supporters who once rallied behind Carney for his anti-Trump stance. Conservatives are equally irate, feeling they have traded one ineffective leader for another. The emergency election that unseated Justin Trudeau was meant to signal a departure from Liberal incompetence, but many Canadians now perceive that nothing has fundamentally changed.
The dissatisfaction has boiled over in Alberta, where a petition calling for the province to separate from Canada has gained traction, amassing over 29,000 signatures. Albertans are frustrated with perceived disenfranchisement, feeling that the leadership chosen by the overall electorate does not represent their interests.
