A side-by-side split image contrasting silence with speaking out. On the left, dark grey text on a muted, off-white background reads: "Stay neutral. Stay silent. Stay comfortable." On the right, bold yellow text over a soft green background reads: "Speak up. Stand out. Make a difference."

What physicians have told us about separation
There is another health system consideration we believe is important for Albertans to understand: the
potential impact of separation on Alberta's physician workforce.
In our recent Pulse Survey, we asked practicing physicians what they would do if Alberta were to separate from Canada.
Among the 1,649 physicians who responded to this question:• 55% said they would move to another province or territory and discontinue practicing in Alberta
• 8% said they would retire or leave medical practice earlier than planned
• 15% said they would continue living and practicing in Alberta
• 18% said they were uncertain about what they would do
• 1% said they would continue living in Alberta but reduce or discontinue medical practice
• 1% said they would move to another province or territory but continue practicing in Alberta (where permitted)
• 1% provided "other" open ended answers
