We respond to a question we keep hearing lately: whether Alberta is really heading toward separation from Canada. We lay out why the talk is growing, from immigration and public benefits to oil revenue leaving the province, and we share how the stress of it all intersects with staying sober.
• repeated questions about Alberta separating while travelling
• immigration levels seen as too high and poorly managed
• anger about welfare, healthcare and other benefits being handed out
• demand for newcomers who work and build a life
• claims of rising disorder and safety issues tied to enforcement and licensing
• frustration over oil wealth, equalization-style transfers and blocked pipelines
• separation talk framed as a wake-up call through petitions and political pressure
• stress named as a recovery trigger while staying committed to sobriety
I'll be back next Friday with another Pure KAOS rant.

We can choose to give in to the KAOS, or we can forge a new path forward!
