Poilievre says 'listen carefully' to separatists and blames feds for Albertan discontent

June 8, 2026

OTTAWA — Opposition Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is expected to give a speech on Monday blaming separatist sentiment on the federal government and urging Canadians to “listen carefully” to the concerns of people who say “they want to leave.”

Poilievre is in Calgary to deliver what his office has billed as a speech arguing for a “stronger Alberta within a united Canada.” He will urge the provinces to ‘lock arms’ and band together to change laws and regulations that are holding them back.

“We do not need a different country, Alberta. We need different government policies in Ottawa,” Poilievre will say, according to an excerpt from the speech provided to reporters.

“Unblocking resources and pipelines, respecting firearms owners, locking up criminals, relieving taxpayers, respecting provincial autonomy, unlocking free enterprise — we know that these are the things Albertans have been demanding.”

Poilievre will also call for the industrial carbon tax to be eliminated, among the policy changes he argues will “make every province better off.”

Poilievre is expected to speak in Calgary at noon MT.

More to come.

In early February, Trump pushed back on the opening of the bridge, saying on Feb. 9 that he would block it. The $6.4 billion, Canadian-taxpayer funded Gordie Howe bridge could be seen as a threat to Maroun’s bottom line. The...

On September 16, 2007, Nelly Arcan appeared on Tout le monde en parle, a popular weekly panel show in Quebec with a viewership of 2 million people. The thirty-four-year-old writer was promoting her third book, Breakneck. Arcan had shot out of left field six years prior, when—in a turn of events every writer dreams about—the major French publisher Editions du Seuil read the manuscript she had mailed across the Atlantic in a brown paper envelope. Her debut, Whore, published in 2001, is a furious, stream-of-consciousness, autofictional rendering of Arcan’s experiences as an escort. It...
