OTTAWA — A recent Pollara Strategic Insights poll reveals that 46% of Albertans support maintaining the monarchy, with a net approval rating of plus-nine, despite rising skepticism about Alberta’s future in Canada. This sentiment is notably stronger than in British Columbia and Quebec, where support is significantly lower. The findings come as discussions around Alberta’s potential independence arise, highlighting a divide between monarchist views and republican sentiments, while also considering the implications for Indigenous treaty rights during any transition.
