Alberta independence figure reacts to Poilievre’s Rogan appearance
Alberta independence figure Jeff Rath pushes back after Pierre Poilievre dismisses separation on The Joe Rogan Experience
Alberta Prosperity Project leader Jeff Rath is pushing back after Pierre Poilievre dismissed Alberta independence during his viral appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience, arguing the Conservative leader is out of touch with growing support for separation in the province.
Rath joined Marc Patrone to respond to Poilievre’s comments, pointing to what he says is a surge in grassroots momentum and support for an independence referendum across Alberta.
The interview—now with over a million views—earned Poilievre rare praise across political lines, with even some media voices crediting his decision to avoid attacking Prime Minister Mark Carney while speaking to an American audience. Instead, he focused on promoting Canada and making the case for tariff-free trade.
But his firm stance that separation “won’t happen” has sparked backlash among independence advocates, highlighting a growing divide as Poilievre’s national unity message collides with rising regional frustration.
