SUMMARY:Western Alienation and Alberta Sovereignty: Myth\, Power\, and Political Reality Lecture #1: The Roots\, Delusions\, and Future of the Separatist Movement in Alberta With Alvin Finkel\, Professor Emeritus
DESCRIPTION:Special Lecture Series\nWestern Alienation and Alberta Sovereignty: Myth\, Power\, and Political Reality\nJoin us for a timely and thought-provoking two-part lecture series examining Alberta’s separatist history\, contemporary sovereignty debates\, and the future of democracy in the province.\nFee for series: $25 for members or $36 for non-members\nFrom its origins as a federally administered settler colony with limited Indigenous control\, Alberta has experienced recurring waves of political tension with Ottawa. Early colonial settlers voiced resentment toward federal policies they believed favored “Eastern interests.”\nDuring oil booms and busts\, petroleum interests—often dominant within Alberta’s major political parties—leveraged Western alienation to intensify conflict with the federal government\, at times echoing separatist rhetoric.\nThis lecture explores:\nThe historical roots of Alberta separatism\nThe role of oil politics in shaping provincial identity\nThe myths and realities behind Western alienation\nWhat the future may hold for separatist movements
