🚨 ALBERTA DOESN’T HAVE A POVERTY PROBLEM — IT HAS AN OTTAWA PROBLEM Alberta could be one of the wealthiest nations on Earth. Energy superpower. Food security giant. Innovation hub. Freedom economy. But every year, Ottawa bleeds it dry. Billions sent east. Punished for producing. Crushed by federal taxes,...

An Independent Alberta means no more federal taxes and no more Ottawa control. No federal income tax. No GST. No carbon tax. No more being dictated to by a government that does not represent Alberta’s interests. Alberta answers to Albertans.

Canada may still work very well for Ottawa. But it no longer works for Alberta. Alberta has outgrown the old arrangement. Alberta is ready to chart its own path.

🇨🇦🍁 LOL! Alberta will hold a referendum to exit from Canada: "Should Alberta remain a province of Canada, or should the government of Alberta commence the legal process required under the Canadian Constitution to hold a binding provincial referendum on whether or not Alberta should separate from Canada?" — Premier of Alberta, Danielle Smith on the referendum in October, 19 "It's time to have a vote, understand the will of Albertans on this subject, and move on." — adds *Alberta is an oil-rich province, so they want to sell oil to the US directly, without Canada. What will be the Ottawa's response?

🚨 ALBERTA AWAKENS — THE WEST REMEMBERS WHO IT IS Something historic is stirring on the Canadian plains. Not protest. Not complaint. But resolve. For decades, Alberta has powered Canada while being ruled by a distant political class in Ottawa that neither understands nor respects it. The deal was simple: Alberta would produce, Ottawa would decide. And year after year, that deal bled the province dry. Now, Alberta is asking the question no one was supposed to ask: Why do we stay? Alberta is not poor. Alberta is not dependent. Alberta is not fragile. It is one of the most resource-rich regions in the Western world. • Vast oil and gas reserves • Critical minerals and rare earths • Timber, agriculture, and energy infrastructure • A highly skilled workforce • A culture built on production, not bureaucracy If Alberta were a country, it would rank among the wealthiest per capita on Earth. And unlike Ottawa, Alberta actually creates wealth. For years, that wealth has been siphoned off through equalization payments, federal regulation, and policies written for urban centres thousands of miles away — policies that punish energy, restrict land use, and criminalise the very industries that made the nation viable. Albertans have watched their rights curtailed. Their livelihoods targeted. Their values dismissed as backward. And still, they paid the bills. Until now. A new generation of leaders and citizens are openly challenging Ottawa’s grip — not with anger, but with clarity. They are pointing out an obvious truth: Alberta does not need permission to succeed. It already feeds, powers, and funds the country. Independence is no longer unthinkable. It is being discussed seriously, methodically, and confidently. Because Alberta has something Ottawa cannot manufacture: • Economic leverage • Cultural cohesion • Energy sovereignty • And the will to stand alone History shows that nations are not born from chaos — they are born when productive regions refuse to be ruled by systems that drain them. Alberta is reaching that moment. Not in haste. Not in hatred. But in strength. This is not a threat. It is a reckoning. And if Alberta does choose its own path, the world may soon witness something rare in modern politics: A wealthy, capable, freedom-minded people stepping out from under a collapsing centre — not to burn bridges, but to finally build their own future. The West is remembering who it is. And Ottawa can feel it. Jason Coursey

Pierre Poilievre on Alberta separation and Alberta's treatment by Ottawa: "I'm against separation...the message to the government in Ottawa is you can't tell Alberta to pay up shut up. Albertans want to be a part of united Canada." Well balanced comments but I think people are discounting that too Albertans have heard it before and they don't want to waste any more time. Thoughts?

IS ALBERTA GOING TO LEAVE CANADA? OTTAWA - wants to add $10.00 a barrel to the cost of oil in Alberta, so no one will want to invest in Alberta. He says Alberta needs to leave Canada. When President Trump says reciprocal tariffs - he means reciprocal tariffs and if Alberta leaves Canada the tariffs will be zero for Alberta and zero for the USA. They will be wide open for American banks and financial institutions. AND - Alberta won't have Ottawa doing everything they can to shut down oil production for the benefit of Communist China.

Alberta Independence is about ending the ripoff. No more watching Ottawa take Alberta’s wealth, choke our industries, and hand us the bill. An independent Alberta means lower taxes, unleashed resources, and a future built for Albertans, not against them.

More than 700,000 Albertans signed a petition for a referendum. Disenfranchising those voters won't go over well. Alberta should remain in Canada. Canada should work for Alberta. Denying Albertans a vote is not the way to achieve that.

BREAKING:🚨 ALBERTA HAS HAD ENOUGH — AND THE CRACKS IN CANADA ARE NOW VISIBLE 🚨 “For far too long we’ve been held hostage by the Ottawa elites — and it’s time for that relationship to end.” That wasn’t rhetoric. That was a declaration. Cameron Davies, leader of the Republican Party of Alberta, has said out loud what millions of Albertans have been thinking for years: This is no longer a federation. It’s an abusive arrangement. Alberta produces. Ottawa consumes. Oil. Timber. Energy. Revenue. And in return? • Punitive federal control • Rights stripped under emergency powers • Firearms confiscation • Policies written by coastal elites who don’t live Alberta’s reality • Taxation without fair representation Alberta is the engine of Canada — and it’s being treated like a colony. Davies put it plainly: “We pay the bills and we’re treated like second-class citizens.” Two votes in Alberta carrying the same weight as one elsewhere. Federal programs funded by Alberta’s resources. Cultural values overridden by a government that no longer represents them. And now the line has been crossed. This isn’t just about economics. It’s about identity. Faith. Family. Freedom. While Ottawa embraces euthanasia over healthcare… While veterans are asked if they’ve “considered dying”… While basic self-defence is criminalised… Alberta is saying: No more. This is why independence is no longer fringe. It’s organised. It’s political. And it’s gaining momentum. Davies laid out the formula: Two ingredients. That’s it. • The will of the people • International recognition Albertans will vote. And when they do, they will demand recognition as a sovereign republic. And here’s the part Ottawa fears most: If Alberta goes — Saskatchewan follows. If both go — Canada collapses as we know it. This isn’t noise. This is tectonic movement. Empires don’t fall all at once. They fracture — starting with the producers. Alberta isn’t asking anymore. It’s preparing to leave. Carl Higbie Cameron Davies

Mark Carney has now made it obvious: Ottawa will use the Clarity Act as a gatekeeping tool against Alberta independence. Quebec responded to the Clarity Act with Bill 99, a law asserting Quebec’s right to self-determination, defending the authority of its National Assembly, and recognizing that a referendum is decided by a majority of valid votes cast. Alberta needs its own Bill 99. The future of Alberta should be decided by Albertans, not by the House of Commons.

"The attitude from some in central Canada, the barely concealed contempt and sometimes the open open contempt for the Alberta economy and the way of life in Alberta is something that wouldn't be tolerated with any other province." "At the end of the day, the vast majority of Albertans love Alberta and they love Canada. I'm not sure a lot of people in Ottawa can say the same thing." Howard Anglin

Most Canadians have no idea Alberta owns its land, its oil, and pays billions more into Ottawa than it gets back. Crown land? Provincial. Oil royalties? Provincial. Healthcare? Paid for by Albertans. We send over $30 billion more to Ottawa each year than we receive. Imagine what Alberta could build if we kept that money here—schools, hospitals, pipelines, prosperity. It’s not about grievance. It’s about self-respect and economic independence. The facts are clear. The future is ours to build.

Let’s get one thing straight: Alberta does not “fund B.C.” — and B.C. isn’t some poor, helpless province clinging to Alberta’s wallet. They’ve got a booming economy, fat revenue streams, and oh yeah… a massive pipeline that everyone is lining up to applaud. Good for them. Seriously. Build it. Grow your economy. That’s what every province should be allowed to do. But here’s the part that magically gets ignored: If B.C. can build a pipeline and cash in, why does Alberta instantly get cast as the national villain for wanting to do the exact same thing? Why is resource development “visionary” for one province but “evil” when Alberta touches it? This isn’t about handouts. It’s not about who “deserves” more. It’s about the basic concept of fairness — you know, that thing Ottawa loves to preach but rarely practices. Alberta is done being told to sit quietly in the corner while other provinces run the same playbook and get showered with praise. If fairness actually means something in this country, it can’t magically stop at the B.C. border. Alberta has every right to build, grow, and protect its economy. And Alberta is CLEARLY done apologizing for it.
