A group advocating for the prairies to separate from the rest of Canada has launched a series of billboards across Saskatchewan. The Prairie Freedom Movement put up four billboards on Thursday that ask "should Saskatchewan leave Canada?"

Three of the billboards are in Regina and one is in Saskatoon, according to Global News. The movement's website says their goal is to "promote and grow interest towards an Independent Western Canada." "Federal election campaigners will always appease those in the East simply because it is strategic," the website explains. "Taking into account the massive increase in immigration projections, and the fact that an overwhelming majority of immigrants settle within Ontario & Quebec, the direction of our Prairies will soon be determined by those who have just gained Canadian citizenship — many of whom have never stepped foot in the Prairies or understand our economy." Trudeau drives desire to secede: Downing The group's spokesperson, former RCMP officer Peter Downing, told CBC News that the West has been getting a raw deal because it's used to bribe the East. "Oil and gas in Alberta has already been rocked and we're seeing the same thing going toward agriculture and meat production in Saskatchewan," he told the broadcaster.
