Alberta independence is increasingly being discussed in Washington through a national security lens. With recent U.S. action in Venezuela, it’s clear the modern Monroe Doctrine is about securing the hemisphere from hostile influence and stabilizing energy and security conditions. Alberta is a key part of that strategy. From the...

U.S. Supports Alberta Independence? A town hall in Airdrie erupted with applause after Jeffery Rath, a constitutional lawyer and advocate for an independent Alberta, proclaimed that the U.S. administration “will support Alberta independence.” Rath stated that the U.S. would back their movement for sovereignty from a national security standpoint — “and freeing Alberta’s oil reserves from the control of the Chinese communists that govern Ottawa.” Follow Media Bezirgan for more on-the-ground coverage you won’t find anywhere else.

Now, the movement for greater autonomy—or even full independence—is gaining serious momentum. In this Frontlines TPUSA exclusive, reporters Tayler Hansen and Kian Simone head west to speak with the leaders of Alberta’s independence movement.

Alberta is the answer to global energy security, and if the U.S. wants energy dominance - they need a strong partner. To achieve this we must put an end to harmful tariffs, and strengthen collaboration. That was my message when meeting with elected officials and industry leaders in Washington D.C. recently.

Alberta is proud to be a reliable, responsible energy partner to Japan. During my recent visit, our government promoted new ways to help ensure Japan has the energy security it needs for the future — and that Alberta continues to lead as a global supplier of clean, dependable energy. Here’s a clip from my interview with 日経CNBC while I was there, sharing Alberta’s story with the world.

Keith Wilson: $119K Raised as Alberta Independence Campaign Takes Off A major update on the growing Alberta independence movement. In this video, the Let Alberta Decide campaign’s record-breaking first week is discussed, including more than $119,000 raised from over 740 donors in less than a week. Also covered: the Calgary Chamber of Commerce’s anti-independence claims, why Ottawa’s policies are driving investment and opportunity out of Alberta, and why the Smith-Carney MOU is a bad deal for Alberta’s economy, oil and gas industry, and future competitiveness. The discussion also outlines the work being done to reach undecided voters, the upcoming Alberta transition white paper, Alberta’s economic leverage, and why independence is becoming a serious and practical path forward.

Alberta is a reliable ally. We don’t just talk trade, we deliver energy, resources, and opportunity. Had the chance to join Bloomberg in Washington, DC to talk about what matters most: securing North American energy dominance, tackling harmful tariffs, and building smarter partnerships between Canada and the U.S.

Yesterday, Premier Danielle Smith and I unveiled the route of the new 3,300-kilometre Northern Shield Energy Corridor from Hardisty, Alberta to Sarnia, Ontario. By connecting Alberta oil with Ontario refineries through a pipeline made with Canadian steel, we’re creating jobs and protecting workers in every part of Canada.

🚨 CANADA MAY FINALLY BE MOVING TOWARDS ANOTHER MAJOR OIL PIPELINE Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says she is open to multiple routes to the West Coast — including alongside existing infrastructure. Her message appears clear: Canada cannot keep sitting on vast energy reserves while allies face shortages and global trade shifts accelerate. With tariffs, geopolitical tensions and energy security back in focus… The argument for getting Alberta oil to tidewater is growing louder. Supporters say: Build. Export. Strengthen energy independence. Critics warn of environmental impact and long-term costs. Question: Should Canada rapidly expand oil infrastructure — or double down elsewhere?

Carney warned Alberta about separation. Michelle Rempel Garner fired back with the part Ottawa keeps pretending not to understand. Alberta’s frustration did not appear out of nowhere. Ten years of Liberal policy stymied Alberta energy projects, cost jobs, weakened prosperity, and damaged Canada’s energy security. Now Carney wants to wag his finger? Rempel says he helped start an international banking alliance that shut down Alberta oil and gas. Then he turned around and used Brexit-style fear politics on Albertans. That is not unity. That is exactly how Ottawa made this worse. Some of the most patriotic Canadians in this country are frustrated Albertans. They know a strong Alberta means a strong Canada. But respect is not a speech. It is pipelines. It is repealing the bills that block investment. It is ending the gun grab. It is treating Alberta like part of the country, not a resource colony Ottawa lectures when convenient. Carney wants to talk about unity. Start with humility.

Could Alberta actually leave? Keith Wilson joins Glenn Beck Americans with an interest in their northern neighbours are curiously looking on, wondering about the possibility of Alberta breaking away from the rest of Canada to create a new province. Glenn Beck raised the subject with Keith Wilson during the prominent Alberta independence activist and constitutional lawyer's appearance on Blaze Media's The Glenn Beck Program. “Is there enough support in Alberta to actually get that done,” Beck asked, in addition to whether Wilson actually thought “Canada would allow” the province, “the Texas of Canada,” to leave Confederation. Wilson pointed to the unique legal framework in Canada, which allows a province the ability to exit through a referendum. “If a clear majority of voters within a province vote on a clear question for independence, that triggers two routes to independence,” the constitutional law expert said. “One is the parties have to enter into good faith negotiations, meaning Alberta needs to go into a meeting room with the federal government and the other provinces and say, 'alright, we've got national parks here; we've got military bases in Alberta. We'll pay you, the federal government, a certain amount of money for those bases and national parks,'” Wilson explained. “The other path is if the parties don't enter into good faith negotiations,” he continued, noting that was “something we're very concerned about here in Alberta.” This route could see a “unilateral declaration of independence,” something that “relies on international recognition,” he cautioned. “If the United States and other countries are prepared to recognize Alberta independence, it creates a clear pathway,” Wilson told the American host. Wilson and Beck also discussed two other federal policies that are contentious in Alberta — the Liberal government's gun grab and its continued expansion of the Medical Assistance in Dying program. Independence campaigners assert they've collected enough signatures to trigger the citizen-led referendum, with a vote expected to take place in fall 2026.

Winter’s back, and so is Quebec’s energy hypocrisy. Quebec relies on Alberta oil and gas, then receives equalization payments funded by the very industry it condemns. Meanwhile, Blanchett tells Alberta to “stop drilling” and “transition” our economy which is easy to say from a province with no production and plenty of revenue. Let’s have honest federalism: if you rely on Alberta energy, don’t vilify the people who produce it or the province that helps pay the bills.

Alberta Premiere Danielle Smith explains why Alberta’s resources are so important for America and the world: Alberta has “170 billion barrels of proven reserves of oil… that’s 5 times the proven reserves in America as a whole. We have 200 trillion cubic feet of gas: proven reserves. That is essentially inexhaustible…. We are the largest exporter to the United States. We give them more of our product than Saudi Arabia, Mexico and Iraq combined.” This is precisely why an independent Alberta would be so successful, and why the anti-Alberta zealots in Ottawa hate us so very much. Don’t you think it’s time for Alberta to assert its independence? It’s our Alberta. It’s our choice.

🚨 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

Alberta will not support cutting off our Alberta energy exports to the U.S., nor will we support a tariff war with our largest trading partner and closest ally. Now is the time to secure our southern border from illegal migration and drug trafficking, and reach out to our friends and allies in the U.S. to remind them just how much Americans and Canadians mutually benefit from our trade relationship - and what we can do to grow that partnership further. Tariffs just hurt Americans and Canadians on both sides of the border. Let’s make sure they don’t happen.
