Reposted by John BowmanAlex Boyd @alexboyd.bsky.social · 02/10/2026This story, about the links between the top Alberta independence social media account and a well known separatist leader that I did with @jeffyates.bsky.social, has been pretty well read today. There have also been some common questions, so I'm going to add my 2 cents! www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...cbc.caIt’s the biggest Alberta separatist account on the internet. It shares DNA with a movement leader | CBC NewsThe account Rise of Alberta is anonymous and drives four times as much engagement as the next most popular account. 26437
