A study by the Angus Reid Institute found that there is more anti-Canadian sentiment in Alberta and Saskatchewan — and especially among Conservatives — than there is in the province of Quebec.

A previous study by Research Co. found that 38% of Albertans believe their province would do better as its own country.

The Léger/Québecor web survey was conducted from October 4 to 6, 2024, with 1,036 Quebecers, 18 years of age or older, randomly recruited from LEO’s online panel.
