Alberta is Canada's Texas. Its voters are the country's most conservative. In the 2015 Canadian general election, 33 of the province's then 34 constituencies or districts elected a Conservative Member of Parliament. And while Canadian conservatism is notably less red in tooth and claw than the Texan variant, Alberta is at the far conservative end of Canada's political spectrum, along with its neighboring province of Saskatchewan. In this episode of 'Civitas Conversations,' James Allan joins host Richard Reinsch to discuss his recent essay 'Will Alberta Leave Canada?' and the future of the Alberta secession movement.

Civitas Conversations features leading scholars, commentators, and thought leaders for in-depth discussions of the latest essays in Civitas Outlook—and the ideas behind them.
