“You have this large cohort of Conservative MPs. How does the government function? How does the Trudeau government function? What is (Alberta Premier Jason) Kenney’s response?” Bratt said. “I think this is a real danger to national unity.”

Mount Royal University political analyst David Taras shared similar sentiments.
“Let’s face it, the anger and alienation in western Canada is real and this government will have to deal with it,” Taras said.
“There’s a sense of just awful alienation, of really feeling deeply offended and I think the (Trudeau) government has to really take a look at what it has to do in terms of energy policy and pipelines in order to get any kind of hearing here.”
On Oct. 20, the Facebook group VoteWexit.com had just over 2,000 members. By Tuesday morning, the group’s membership had skyrocketed to more than 135,000* members.
The group is calling for the separation of western Canada from the rest of the country.
“We’re going to be free from the blood-sucking, parasitic relationship we have with eastern Canada right now,” Wexit Alberta founder Peter Downing said.
