Why Alberta leaving could cost workers $15,000 annually

Adam Legge, president of the Business Council of Alberta, discusses why Alberta should remain in Canada ahead of the province's separation referendum. He outlines the economic uncertainty and practical disruptions separation could create, from currency and trade to jobs and investment. Legge also addresses legitimate Alberta grievances—particularly equalization and federal energy policies—while highlighting recent progress under Prime Minister Carney. He argues Alberta's prosperity and leadership role are best secured within Canada, despite needed reforms to achieve greater fairness in the federation.
