Billions of dollars leave Alberta every year through equalization, yet our governments throw those numbers around as if they’re just another line in a budget. But do we actually stop and think about what a billion dollars really means? Time to Let Alberta Decide 🙌🏽

Althia Raj claims false claims about equalization are fueling Alberta separation Althia Raj v Trevor Tombe "But also a lot of people completely misunderstand how equalization work, and they're upset about something that just actually is not true." Tombe "Just just to illustrate magnitudes here, if Quebec's power prices were 2 cents a kilowatt higher, and they would still maintain the lowest power prices $0.02 a kilowatt higher, and we didn't fix the size of the equalization program as we do now, then Quebec's equalization payment would fall by about $4.2 billion this year." Althia needs to clarify that remark! Althia Raj

Can someone translate for Quebeckers? "And Alberta, year after year has 20 to 25 billion dollars that is siphoned out of our system to go to Ottawa so that it can be spent mostly in Quebec, but also in other places that vote Liberal." "$600 billion in the last 40 or 50 years that have been taken out of this province." "You don't think we might be able to do a little bit more on social spending if those 20 to 25 billion dollars stayed here?" Danielle Smith Rebecca Schulz Trevor Tombe

“What about Elon Musk?" Do you really think a 40-year politician can evaluate their own pet program without bias? Elon is coming in as a consultant: dollars in & dollars out. I think every agency should be audited.

There's a crypto hack every two days now, it's time to focus on projects that take security seriously "I think we had read or reported that there's a hack in crypto every two days this year, basically, and the numbers are not necessarily huge. It's not billions of dollars a day, but it really informs your investment decisions moving forward" "I think a lot of the old stuff is dead or dying or will be exploited, and it's really time to just focus on quality, and teams that are building and actually care about security"

If Private Investors Won't Invest...Why Should Taxpayers? I'm strongly in favour of exporting more Alberta oil. As Alberta's former Energy Minister, I believe we should build the right projects for the right reasons. But these new pipeline proposals, together with a proposed $65-billion carbon capture project, raise serious questions. If the economics are sound, where are the private investors? The proposed northern pipeline alone is estimated to cost between $70 billion and $100 billion. If governments borrow roughly $150 billion to build these projects, billions of dollars in interest payments would come before Albertans ever see a return – if at all. Supporting Alberta's energy industry doesn't mean saying yes to every project. It means saying yes to projects that make economic sense, protect taxpayers, and deliver real value for Albertans. Good governments do the homework before they ask Albertans to pay the bill. #albertaenergy #alberta #abpoli #cdnpoli #abtory

Justin J. Pearson: “Israel has universal healthcare. We don’t, in the richest, most powerful country in the world, but yet we’re giving them billions of dollars. I think in this moment, we want to see those investments coming to our country and it isn’t just Israel. We need to look at all nations that we are currently giving billions of dollars to propagate war and give more money to Boeing and Lockheed Martin”

We think of budgets as about people and communities, not just numbers on a spreadsheet. So Katy Gallagher and I have broken down what the mid-year budget update means for you. #auspol #ausecon

I think most people who are in favour of Alberta independence are actually proud Canadians. But they are not proud of what Canada has become. We want independence to preserve what Canada used to be. And we will do what it takes. If that means leaving what Canada is we will.

“If we tell the president what to do, he will do it. Let’s stand up as the Senate. We are just approving a borrowing of about $2.2 billion to fund the budget—what budget?...” -- Ndume

Hi again Alberta, Naheed Nenshi here. Wow! Yesterday was beyond my wildest expectations. There were so many people that reached out, that signed up. If you haven't yet, please go to to lend your support. I’m going to have a lot more to say in the hours and weeks ahead about what I think we can do together. But today, I just wanted to say, thank you! Together, we can work towards a more affordable, healthier, smarter, fairer Alberta. A more prosperous, greener and safer Alberta. For all of us.

“Count me as skeptical, and count me as opposed to the idea of tens of billions of dollars of additional federal subsidy when we have a pipeline that is not currently at capacity,” B.C. Premier David Eby says of Alberta Premier Danielle Smith’s push for a new oil pipeline to tidewater through his province.

A hug? Pierre Poilievre is coming to Alberta to campaign on what?? "Our message is that all of Canada needs to wrap its arms around Alberta. Let's ensure that every Albertan knows that Canada loves Alberta, that Canada is Alberta, Alberta is Canada." Sounds like Hallmark card written by that purple haired aunt living in the mountains. Alberta doesn't want anyone wrapping their arms around us. We want to stop being over taxed, red taped and have actual Rights and Freedoms. If other provinces want to help, then they need to stop being dependent on welfare and voting for idiots that gave us a lost decade, mass immigration and ridiculous taxes.

This video shares some ideas on how to end the giant Ottawa money drain from our province - but I want to hear your ideas and feedback on this issue. Have your say at Alberta’s next steps are in your hands.

.Andrew Ferguson: "The states should be our partners with this. We want to partner with the states, but what we aren’t going to do, as stewards of the American taxpayer dollar, is to send those dollars—billions of them—to the states, to line the pockets of state attorneys general, who don’t want to participate in protecting our benefits programs so that the people who really need them... actually get the money."

In 2008 Californians were sold a $33 billion high-speed rail from Los Angeles to San Francisco. After decades behind schedule and hundreds of billions of dollars over budget, Gavin Newsom decided to streamline. Now what Newsom is selling as a $1.6 billion savings to taxpayers is really the comical gutting of the entire project.

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.
