Matthew Ehret on Alberta Self-Determination

National Survival or Provincial Independence? A Historian’s Perspective on Alberta’s Future

In this episode of The Lavigne Show, host Jason Lavigne sits down with historian and geopolitical commentator Matthew Ehret, founder of the Canadian Patriot Review, to discuss Alberta’s growing push for self-determination. Recorded in Montreal, Quebec, the conversation examines Alberta’s future in the context of Canadian history, national sovereignty, and the influence of global forces.

Ehret examines the deeper roots of Western alienation, the legacy of failed nation-building in Canada, and the challenges of maintaining unity in an era of centralization, globalization, and political disintegration. He does not advocate separation but strongly supports the right of Albertans to decide their future democratically. The discussion raises critical questions: Can Canada survive as a cohesive nation? Or is Alberta’s future better served by charting its course?

This episode is part of a nationwide series examining Alberta’s future through thoughtful, open discussions with voices from across Canada. Whether you're for or against separation, this conversation offers a thought-provoking perspective grounded in history and civic responsibility.
