It's interesting that CBC has a quite different article about this.
$1:
The party's stated goal is to push for a referendum that would withdraw Alberta from Confederation. From there, the party plans to establish its own defence force, police and currency, and elect a president of Alberta.
The group also hopes to run candidates at the provincial level in B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba

They are too stupid to recognize what is really going on.
Trying to compare this new Wexit to the Bloc is simply wrong, the Bloc is on par with
the SNP in Scotland, a small regional rump party, that simply screws up the Labour Party.
No, the real work by Wexit needs to be to scare the Conservatives enough to force
them into making real changes.
It was the fear of UKIP draining a lot of votes from the UK Conservatives that forced Cameron to offer a referendum in 2015, he didn't do it for any magnanimous reasons,
nor because he thought it was a good idea.
It was also the Brexit Party's support of the Tories in 2019 that allowed them to
increase their majority, by bleeding Labour support in their ridings, while not
competing with the Conservatives in theirs.
Farage won without ever having more than a couple of MPs in the UK Parliament.
If Wexit takes this approach, they van be successful.
