Notley, Kenney join forces to co-chair business campaign against Alberta separation
The campaign will be driven by discussions with chamber members and aims to show that a prosperous Alberta includes Canada, the chamber said.
- On Aug. 25, 2026, The Canadian Chamber announced that Jason Kenney and Rachel Notley will co-chair a campaign urging Albertans to vote to remain in Canada during the Oct. 19 referendum.
- Kenney and Notley argue separatism threatens to undermine legitimate provincial grievance resolution, noting the referendum is "bad for business" amid ongoing trade tensions with the United States.
- This unlikely alliance between former rivals, who competed in the 2019 election, aims to "put it to bed once and for all," Notley said of the separatist push.
- The Canadian Chamber president Candace Laing stated that "Canada will be only better off with greater economic co-operation," emphasizing the business community's rationale for national unity.
- Albertans will head to the polls on Oct. 19 to decide whether to remain in Canada or hold a second binding vote on quitting, following Premier Danielle Smith's separatist agenda.
