Part 6/14:
Public Sentiment and the Future of Independence
Addressing the political landscape, Wilson points out that roughly 35% of Albertans support independence, another 35% oppose it, and the remaining are undecided. The movement, he explains, must focus on persuading the middle ground—those who are cautious but open-minded—by demonstrating that independence is a safe, viable path capable of securing a better future for succeeding generations.
He stresses the importance of not alienating opponents with hostility or insults but rather helping them understand the process and benefits of independence. Wilson advocates for a respectful approach that emphasizes the steps involved and reassures Albertans that independence will lead to a more prosperous and self-determined future.
