Alberta separatist Jeff Rath kicked out of governing United Conservative Party

In a significant political shift, prominent Alberta separatist Jeff Rath was expelled from the United Conservative Party, the governing force in Alberta. The party's executive director cited Rath's public declarations of non-support for the party's platform as the reason for his removal. This move underscores the party's commitment to maintaining a unified political stance and signals a potential tightening of internal discipline. Rath's departure could have broader implications for regional separatist movements and party dynamics in Alberta.
