Some Quebec separatists see Alberta 's brand of separatism as fundamentally different from Quebec sovereignty.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says she will hold a referendum on separation next year if a petition meets the threshold.

Quebec 's separatist movement took a blow in the recent federal election when the Liberals made big gains in the province.

Michael Wagner , an advocate for Alberta independence, agrees that Alberta isn’t a distinct nation, unlike Quebec .

“Most Albertans , even those that support separation, don't really want it,” he said.

Wagner said Alberta separatists should take inspiration from Quebec in at least one respect.
