Election Night: Election Results and Confederation Isn

election night: The separatist movement saw new life breathed into it on election night 2019, with the Liberal win tapping into anger and frustration among voters who felt they've been short-changed by the federal government, according to CTV. Wexit began trending on Twitter in Canada in the early morning hours after the election results came in. The Wexit party's view is that Confederation isn't working for Western Canada, specifically Alberta and Saskatchewan, and that it's time to split off from the rest of the country. In an interview on CTV's Question Period, host Evan Solomon asked Hill who served as a Conservative MP for 17 years and was the house leader and government whip under former prime minister Stephen Harper when he came to the conclusion that it was time for Western Canada to go it alone. But when Justin Trudeau was elected, largely because of the Maritimes and Quebec and Ontario it was very clear then that the West is once again completely out of step with central Canada. I think the deal breaker was the re-election of Justin Trudeau and his Liberal government last October, but I've been speaking out on independence for Western Canada, writing newspaper columns over the last two years now, and I was clearly leaning that way, I was trying to lead some, or at least prompt some discussion on the subject, Hill said.
