BREAKING: The “massive” Forever Canada anti-Alberta protest at the UCP headquarters today reportedly drew… about 10 people. After months of calling hundreds of thousands of Albertans “extremists,” this is what showed up at 10:30 a.m. - homemade signs, outrage, and political theatre. Meanwhile, Alberta independence supporters gathered over 300,000... show more

“Forever Canada” protesters are apparently losing their minds because someone dared to film them… at a public protest… in public. (Meanwhile their own group members were livestreaming, recording, and posting photos online the entire morning at the UCP headquarters.) You cannot stand in front of a political party office with giant signs, cameras everywhere, and then act shocked that the internet noticed. Alberta politics in 2026 is pure comedy.

The Conservative Party has an Alberta problem — a big one It's not because Alberta has abandoned the Conservatives, but because Alberta's Conservative voters might be outgrowing Ottawa, and we have the poll numbers to prove it. A new @ActForAlberta poll shows something remarkable: 66% of Conservative Party of Canada supporters in Alberta support independence; 51% strongly support it. Another 15% somewhat support it. That is not a fringe. That is not a handful of angry keyboard warriors. That is the federal Conservatives' Western engine room looking at Confederation and saying: maybe this deal is done. And that explains something important about the way Pierre Poilievre and the federal Conservatives talk about Alberta independence. They oppose it, of course. They have to. The Conservative Party of Canada cannot win without Alberta. Take Alberta out of Confederation and the CPC loses its safest seats, its donor base, its volunteer army, and its moral claim to represent Western Canada. Without Alberta, there may never be another Conservative government in Ottawa again. So yes, they are against independence. But notice what they are not doing. They are not going full Liberal-style Project Fear. They are not screaming that Albertans are stupid, racist, reckless, dangerous separatists who need to be shamed back into line. Why? Because they can read a poll. If two-thirds of your own Alberta supporters back independence, you cannot sneer at them without blowing up your own base. You cannot smear them as extremists when they are your riding presidents, your donors, your door-knockers, your sign crews, your voters. So, the CPC is trapped. Ottawa needs Alberta to stay. But Alberta conservatives are increasingly asking: what exactly are we staying for?

Alberta flags allegedly stolen from children at Canada Day parade Imagine taking Alberta flags out of the hands of children because you don't like how their parents might vote. That's exactly what one Alberta independence campaign says happened in Wetaskiwin. Now, the RCMP investigation has reportedly been escalated. I spoke with the man behind United Alberta Flags, John Tomkinson, at Keith Wilson's sold-out 1,000-person Let Alberta Decide Stampede breakfast. The turnout at Wilson's Stampede breakfast made one thing clear: Alberta's independence movement is drawing crowds in the real world, not just online. Nearly 1,000 people packed Ranchman's Cookhouse just days after tickets went on sale, bringing together supporters and third-party advertiser groups from across the province ahead of the October 19 referendum. One of those groups was United Alberta Flags, founded by Tomkinson. His organization has been travelling the province, handing out Alberta flags and encouraging Albertans to proudly display them as part of the referendum campaign. But Tomkinson's group has also become embroiled in a growing controversy. United Alberta Flags alleges that volunteers with the opposing Forever Canadian campaign removed Alberta flags and referendum campaign materials from children and families during the Wetaskiwin Canada Day parade. According to Tomkinson, additional witnesses and video evidence have led the Wetaskiwin RCMP to elevate the investigation to the Central Alberta RCMP Investigations Division. Tomkinson told me about the alleged incident, the RCMP investigation, and what he is doing to grow support for Alberta independence across the province. REPORT by Sheila Gunn Reid:

Howard Anglin "While the separatists don't have answers to most of the key questions about separation, I think there are a lot of people in central Canada and Ottawa that need to step up and give some answers to the questions Alberta has been asking." "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

In Stettler, I talked with a cattle rancher sitting in his pickup with his child. We had a frank conversation about Alberta independence, the United States, staying in Canada, and what kind of future he wants for his family. He told us he strongly supports Alberta independence and most of his friends do as well. He agreed to take an Alberta independence sign for his property. That matters. Because this movement grows one honest conversation at a time. One truck window at a time. One farm gate at a time. One highway property at a time. One Alberta flag at a time. If you live in rural Alberta, put up a sign. Put up an Alberta flag. Especially if your property is along a highway where thousands of people pass by and see it. But this needs to happen everywhere. Towns. Cities. Farms. Acreages. Suburbs. Main streets. Donate to Pathway to Independence so more signs can be printed. Volunteer to help hand them out. Get one for your own lawn. Signs and info: Cory Morgan Watch the full video: Alberta independence will not happen by accident. It will happen because ordinary Albertans decide to stand up publicly.

301,000 Albertans demand independence vote as massive petition haul delivered to Elections Alberta🗳️ Alberta's independence movement surges forward amid widespread dissatisfaction with Mark Carney's Liberal government. More than 301,000 Albertans signed on the dotted line for a chance to vote on independence, and on Monday, those signatures were physically delivered to Elections Alberta in one of the largest citizen-driven political mobilizations in modern Alberta history. The petition, spearheaded by referendum proponent Mitch Sylvestre and organized through Stay Free Alberta (Stay Free Alberta), was carried to the Elections Alberta office by supporters after months of canvassing across the province, each box bearing a photo of canvassers in action. According to organizers, nearly 7,000 volunteers helped gather the signatures during the depths of a bitter Alberta winter, knocking on doors, setting up tables at events, and driving countless rural backroads to collect names from Albertans demanding a say on the province’s future inside Confederation. The number to trigger a referendum under Alberta's citizen-led initiative rules was 177,732, or 10% of the votes cast in the 2023 general election. If certified by Elections Alberta, the petition would trigger a provincewide referendum on Alberta independence set for October 19, 2026. The boxes containing the petitions were wrapped in evidence tape upon delivery, a reflection of the increasingly high-stakes political and legal fight surrounding the initiative. A court challenge launched on behalf of a small group of activist Indigenous chiefs is attempting to stop the referendum process before Albertans ever get the chance to cast a ballot. But supporters say the sheer scale of the petition effort sends a message Ottawa can no longer ignore: dissatisfaction in Alberta is no longer something that can be ignored. Sheila Gunn Reid

At the Forever Canada rally in Red Deer, one of Thomas Lukaszuk’s people followed me through the crowd and said he was there to “protect” me. I wasn’t sure how to take that, so we joked about it a little. But then we talked about something serious. A few days earlier in Edmonton, a Forever Canada supporter attacked an Alberta independence supporter who was peacefully waving his flag on the side of the road. The man tried to rip the flag away and pushed him toward traffic. That could have ended very badly. We both agree that that kind of behavior is wrong, and the person responsible should be in jail. That matters. We can disagree about Alberta independence. We can debate equalization, immigration, pipelines, federal control, Ottawa, the constitution, and the future of this province. But political violence has no place in this debate. Peaceful Albertans have every right to wave a flag, support a referendum, ask questions, and advocate for Alberta independence without being assaulted or threatened. But that is where we are at right now in Alberta. Full video:

Keith Wilson's Let Alberta Decide draws 1,000 to sold-out Stampede breakfast Keith Wilson's (Keith Wilson) third-party advertiser, Let Alberta Decide, drew approximately 1,000 supporters to a sold-out Stampede breakfast at Ranchman's Cookhouse & Dancehall on Sunday, marking one of the largest public events yet of the referendum The breakfast, announced just days ago, sold out well before the event. Wilson told the crowd the first 500 registrations were claimed in just 30 hours, forcing organizers to expand capacity to accommodate roughly 1,000 attendees. "We planned this thing on the 26th of June. It was a last-minute decision... we sold out the first 500 in 30 hours," Wilson said during his address. "You are the future of Alberta." Long lines formed outside Ranchman's before the doors opened, while photos and videos shared throughout the day showed a packed venue filled with supporters wearing western attire and Alberta flags. The event also featured speeches from campaign organizers and volunteers. The breakfast served as the official launch of Let Alberta Decide's province-wide lawn sign campaign. Organizers unveiled the first production run of referendum signs, with distribution beginning at the event and expanding across Alberta in the coming weeks. Social media posts from attendees described a "massive turnout," with supporters travelling from across Alberta to attend. The sold-out breakfast comes as Wilson's TPA ramps up campaigning ahead of Alberta's Oct. 19 referendum, where Albertans will vote on whether to authorize a future referendum on Alberta becoming an independent country. The event is another indication that the referendum campaign is relying heavily on in-person organizing, following months of town halls, volunteer sign distribution, and the citizen initiative petition drive that collected more than 300,000 signatures before court proceedings temporarily halted the verification process.

🚨 Premier Danielle Smith just dropped truth on the Alberta separation fight. She’s making it crystal clear: she and her entire UCP caucus support Alberta remaining in Canada. But she’s not backing down from democracy. The court ruling that threw out the separatist petition? She calls it “incorrect in law and undemocratic.” Her government is appealing it immediately. This is leadership that actually respects the will of Albertans instead of Ottawa’s gag order. While Carney and the Liberals keep pushing their anti-Alberta agenda, Danielle Smith is drawing a line: Canada yes — but not at the cost of Alberta’s voice. Albertans are done being treated like second-class citizens in their own country. #DanielleSmith #AlbertaStrong #StandUpForAlberta #CDNPoli #AlbertaSeparation #FreedomToChoose

POLL: Nearly half of First Nations voters in Alberta back independence A poll commissioned by @ActForAlberta found 46% of First Nations respondents said they'd vote to leave Canada in a referendum on independence. Sheila Gunn Reid shares details from a poll commissioned by Act For Alberta, which found 46% of First Nations respondents would support independence if a referendum were held on the matter. For months, we’ve been told Alberta independence is fringe. That Indigenous people oppose it. That claim is doing a lot of work right now, especially in court. And then this lands: Nearly half of indigenous voters support independence. Someone tell the activist chiefs — the narrative just blew apart. According to exclusive polling commissioned by Act For Alberta, and full disclosure, I’m the listed contact for that third-party advertiser, 46% of First Nations respondents say they would vote to leave Canada. Nearly half. That's higher than support in the general Alberta population, which sits at one in three. That alone should force a rethink. Now layer this on top: 301,000 signatures, collected by 7,000 volunteers. In a long, bitterly cold Alberta winter. And what happens next? They don’t get verified. Not counted. Not certified. They're stopped, wrapped in evidence tape like some crime scene because a judge has issued a stay blocking the validation process while a legal challenge from First Nations groups plays out. So, line this up. Nearly half of First Nations respondents are open to independence. But activist chiefs claiming to speak for all Indigenous Albertans want to protect the failing federalist status quo, not just for their people, but for all of us. Hundreds of thousands of Albertans signed a petition to at least ask the question. And the activist chiefs involved in the lawsuit are asking the court to freeze the process before it reaches a result. That’s the moment we’re in. A political question with massive public engagement, halted before it could be measured. There’s a gap here. Between what’s being argued in court by gatekeepers and what people are actually saying when you ask them directly. And it is not a small gap. Indigenous communities are not one voice. Albertans are not one voice. That is the whole point of a vote. Everyone gets their say on referendum day. So, here’s the question that does not go away: if the answer is so obvious, why not let the process finish? Why not count the signatures and drop the lawsuit? Why not let people speak? Because once it becomes one person, one vote, the outcome is not controlled anymore, and the narrative is shattered for good.

🚨 OTTAWA AND EDMONTON ARE NOW TRYING TO STOP ALBERTA SEPARATION The Alberta Premier is now openly admitting that independence support is too big to ignore — while simultaneously trying to pull people back toward Ottawa. Listen carefully to what she said: • “35% or more” of ALL Albertans could vote for independence • Around “55%” of UCP supporters support separation • She and Mark Carney are now working together to “bring those numbers down” That last line matters. For years Albertans were told separatism was fringe. Now the Premier herself admits the movement is powerful enough that Ottawa and Edmonton must actively work to stop it growing further. And notice the shift: Suddenly Carney is being framed as “different” from Trudeau. Suddenly there’s talk of “confidence building.” Suddenly promises are being made again. Because the political establishment knows the ground is moving beneath them. The real issue now isn’t whether Alberta frustration exists. It’s whether enough Albertans still believe Canada can be fixed at all.

Something is changing in Alberta… and you can feel it. Drone shots of a convoy rolling into Mirror. Trucks and cars lined up. Horns blaring. Alberta flags waving in the wind. An anthem playing over top that captures exactly what this moment feels like. Pride. Unity. Momentum. This wasn’t just a group of people showing up. These were volunteers and canvassers who had just spent an entire day traveling town to town, knocking on doors, reaching communities with no permanent signing locations, and collecting hundreds of signatures for Alberta independence. And then they came together to celebrate. Young and old. Rural and urban. All united by one idea: 👉 Alberta can stand on its own 👉 Alberta deserves a future built by Albertans 👉 Alberta is waking up I’m proud to have been part of it. And here’s the truth… If you’re watching this and thinking “I wish I was there” — you can be part of the next one. We are just getting warmed up. There are going to be more convoys, more rallies, and bigger gatherings all summer long. So here’s what you do: Get yourself a big blue beautiful Alberta flag Grab a few friends Show up next time Be part of something that actually matters. 🚨 HOW TO SIGN THE PETITION If you haven’t signed yet, this is critical: • You must sign in person • Look for an official Elections Alberta canvasser (badge required) • There are pop-up signing locations happening all over Alberta • There are permanent signing locations listed at • And there are canvassers going door-to-door right now This is how we turn momentum into real action. This isn’t just about a petition. It’s about the future of this province. And from what I saw in Mirror… Alberta is ready.

Alberta separation: Outrage → full operations. Citizen-led petition (Stay Free Alberta / Mitch Sylvestre) is collecting signatures province-wide — and it’s written to mirror the Clarity Act standard. 📌 “Do you agree that the Province of Alberta should cease to be a part of Canada to become an independent state?” Hard to claim it’s “unclear” when it’s built from their own clarity framework. Town halls are packed — Red Deer, Millet, Okotoks, Calgary, Edmonton… lines around the block. More scheduled. Organizers say a draft constitution is already ready if a referendum passes. Threshold: 177,732 signatures (10% of 2023 voters). Target: 300,000+ Deadline: May 2. This isn’t rallies anymore. It’s clipboards, verification, and a paper trail that forces a response. And Saskatchewan moving in parallel is the multiplier — not one province pushing back, but a region. Together: 6.9M people, 98% of Canada’s oil, $350B+ GDP. One province can be stalled. Two moving together can’t be ignored. Do you think it reaches a referendum? #AlbertaIndependence

And Saskatchewan moving in parallel is the multiplier — not one province pushing back, but a region. Together: 6.9M people, 98% of Canada’s oil, $350B+ GDP. One province can be stalled. Two moving together can’t be ignored. Do you think it reaches a referendum? #AlbertaIndependence

🚨 We're launching an Alberta independence campaign — and this is why we had to do it We’re going 'all in' on the independence referendum on October 19. I have major news to share with you. We are officially launching Act For Alberta — a legally registered third-party campaign group supporting the Alberta independence petition drive, which is ending on May 2, 2026. When Alberta independence goes to a referendum later this Fall, Act for Alberta will also be there. "Third party" doesn't mean we're forming a political party. Think of it as a SuperPAC: the same kind of organization we've set up federally for past elections. In Alberta, this registration is the only legal path for us toadvertise in support of Alberta independence, both during the petition drive, and during this Fall’s referendum. If we don't register, Elections Alberta can — and will — prosecute us. So: reason number one is legal protection. Act for Alberta will advocate fearlessly in favour of the Yes campaign, you know the bureaucrats would come for us otherwise. Reason number two is that the mainstream media, and the entire establishment — every major political party, every major media outlet, every union, every TV talk show — is going to go to war against Alberta. Alberta is about to be overrun by pro-Liberal, pro-Carney, anti-Alberta propaganda. Someone needs to fight back. Reason number three is even more simple: we genuinely believe in this independence referendum, and we believe Albertans should have their say. Two weeks ago, a citizens' petition with more than 170,000 signatures was submitted to trigger a constitutional referendum on Alberta independence. I love the idea of a referendum. Let the people speak! There are issues that politicians refuse to touch because they're too scared or politically correct — and Alberta independence is exactly the kind of thing ordinary people talk about privately that official people are terrified to mention publicly. Now, ordinary people get a vote, even if politicians are afraid. This is your chance to be part of it. Please visit our website at right now to learn more and find out how you can help — before this campaign really heats up. Here’s what's at stake. Quebec has had two independence referendums — the last one came within 0.5% of passing — and no one called them traitors for it. The Supreme Court of Canada has confirmed these votes are legal. Parliament passed the Clarity Act specifically to govern how such a vote works. And yet when Albertans ask for the same democratic remedy, the regime media calls it treason, and government lawyers line up to say why only Quebec gets those votes, not Albertans. Why the double standard? Because the establishment makes a very good living off Alberta, and they will say and do anything to protect that arrangement. Alberta sends $20 billion a year to Ottawa — only to have its pipelines blocked, its oil tankers banned (while OPEC tankers sail freely into eastern ports), and its workers ruled out of senior federal jobs for not speaking French. Here's the question I keep coming back to: if Alberta were its own country today, would it vote to join Ottawa on these terms? I doubt it. Visit to see how we're going to make that case. going to fight on the Yes side using real professional campaign tools: TV ads, digital ads, our billboard truck, and public events. Because every powerful institution in Canada has already lined up against this referendum. Alberta needs a fearless, unapologetic voice on the other side. That's us. We need your help. Please go to to join us. The independence referendum is October 19th, barely six months away. Elections Alberta bureaucrats would love nothing more than to prosecute Rebel News for daring to speak up during this campaign. So we registered Act For Alberta as a third-party campaign group. Now they can't touch us. We're going all in - stand with us. This is the exact playbook Quebec used — twice. The separatist Bloc Québécois has sat in Parliament for decades and no one blinks. The Parti Québécois is currently leading the polls in Quebec. But when Albertans ask for the same democratic conversation, the regime calls it treason. That double standard is exactly why this referendum matters — and why we're fighting for it. Alberta sends $20 billion to Ottawa every year. In return: blocked pipelines, cancelled LNG projects, banned oil tankers, and sneers at us because they think Alberta has nowhere else to go. Well, now Alberta does have somewhere else to go. The U.S. has already said they'd buy Alberta oil if Alberta were independent.

Fort Saskatchewan shows up for Alberta independence petition despite deep freeze 🍁 Despite claims from mainstream media that independence supporters are 'fringe,' the crowd was anything but. Families, seniors and young people filled the hall. Lines stretched past 50 people at a time, in temperatures below -20 C. Rebel News was in Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta, where organizers hosted a town hall and petition signing aimed at triggering a referendum on Alberta independence and locals turned out in force. Under Alberta law, citizens can force a referendum by collecting 177,000 valid signatures within 120 days. Just three weeks in, organizers have already held dozens of town halls and signing events across the province. This one hit close to home. Fort Saskatchewan is an agricultural, oilfield, and refining community — three sectors battered by more than a decade of federal Liberal policies. Residents didn’t mince words about why they showed up. “I started working under Pierre Trudeau before the NEP,” said one signer. “I’ve seen nothing but destruction for this province since equalization was entrenched. It’s only gotten worse.” Others compared Canada’s treatment of Alberta to a bad marriage. “I’m tired of giving my money away. Alberta makes the money, and Ottawa takes it,” one woman said. Despite media claims that independence supporters are “fringe,” the crowd was anything but. Families, seniors, and young people filled the hall. Lines stretched past 50 people at a time, in temperatures below -20 C. About 350 people packed the town hall to hear speakers Mitch Sylvestre and Dr. Dennis Modry explain the petition process and the case for independence. Organizers say turnouts like this are happening across the province. Rebel News will continue covering petition events in both small towns and major cities to give a voice to Albertans the mainstream media ignores, or worse, willfully misrepresents. Sheila Gunn Reid

“TRAITORS SHOULD BE HANGED.” That is what a Forever Canada counter-protester screeched at me at the Alberta Legislature today. She had been repeatedly screaming that Alberta independence supporters were “traitors,” so I walked over and asked the obvious question: What should happen to traitors? For a while she wouldn’t answer. I got insults, swearing and a middle finger instead. Then she finally said it: “Traitors should be hanged.” Think about what is happening here. We are peacefully advocating for a democratic referendum. Canadians are legally free to advocate constitutional change, and the Supreme Court has already established a constitutional process that would follow a clear referendum mandate for secession. You can oppose Alberta independence. You can campaign against us. You can vote to remain Canadian. But advocating political change through speeches, signs, rallies and ballots does not make someone a traitor. And when someone repeatedly calls peaceful political opponents “traitors” and then says traitors should be hanged, I think people should hear exactly what was said. This rhetoric matters, especially when independence supporters have already reported hostility and dangerous behavior at public events. Watch the exchange yourself. If you support forever Canada, is this the Canada you want to be a part of?

🚨 WOW! Support is ramping up among Alberta citizens to SECEDE from Canada, with the first vote taking place Oct. 19 The province is right-wing and Albertans are FED UP with not having sovereignty, sufficient rights, and feel like BILLIONS are being taken away from them 💯 Treasury Sec. SCOTT BESSENT has voiced support for Albertans taking the step to secede. If the Oct. 19 passes, another vote would be required to make it final. After that, any notion of joining the United States would require a separate process SECEDE AND JOIN THE USA 🔥 We'd gain a red state, 2 GOP senators, beautiful land and natural resources. And Alberta would likely gain even more in return. "Massive oil and gas reserves. They provide high employment, high incomes and a lot of money to Canada's federal budget." "We're looking at just about over a $30 billion outflow of economic activity from Alberta to confederation for which we don't get anything back!" "Albertans aren't exercising their sovereignty and it's costing them billions of dollars."

Canadians used to be stereotyped as polite, tolerant, and willing to hear people out. That stereotype is gone inside the Forever Canada movement. When Alberta independence supporters go out and talk to people, we are constantly being sworn at, insulted, mocked, and threatened. And the thing is, we do not do it back. We keep having polite conversations. We keep putting up signs. We keep asking questions. We keep making a rational case for Alberta’s future. You would think people who want us to stay in Canada would try to persuade us with kindness, respect, and a better argument. Instead, they are determined to prove our point. If Canada is so worth staying in, why are so many of its loudest defenders so angry, intolerant, and hostile toward Albertans who simply want a democratic choice? That is not how you win people back. That is how you push them further away. I support Alberta independence.

ANNOUNCING: The Alberta Independence Tour! Get your tickets NOW! Alberta’s future is up for debate — and this time, the conversation won’t be controlled by Ottawa or the legacy media. For years, Alberta has been told to sit down, shut up, and pay the bill. Pay equalization. Pay for federal failures. Pay for policies dreamed up in Ottawa — and dumped on the West. And every time Albertans asked a simple question — is this still working for us? — they were told not to ask it. That ends now. This winter, Rebel News is hitting the road with the Alberta Independence Tour — a live, in-person series of events across Alberta focused on the province’s future, its rights, and its place in Confederation. And we’re not coming alone. I will break down what Alberta can learn from Quebec’s independence movement — not the slogans, but the strategy — drawn from years of reporting and research. Also on tour is Tamara Lich, one of the most recognizable figures to emerge from the Freedom Convoy. Now a Rebel News reporter, Tamara covers government power, civil liberties, and political movements that legacy media either ignores or deliberately distorts. And you’ll hear from the Western Standard's Cory Morgan, a senior Alberta columnist, veteran commentator, and author of The Sovereigntist’s Handbook. Cory will walk through the political and practical realities of Western independence — what’s possible, what’s legal, and what’s pure fear-mongering. These aren’t sanitized panels. These aren’t media-approved conversations. This is straight talk. Real debate. And honest discussions the establishment won’t host. We’ll talk autonomy. We’ll talk sovereignty. We’ll talk about what Alberta can do — legally, democratically, and peacefully — when the status quo keeps failing. And this isn’t a spectator sport. You’ll ask questions. You’ll challenge ideas. You’ll be part of the conversation. Because Alberta’s future should be decided by Albertans — not dictated by Ottawa insiders who never pay the price for their decisions. The Alberta Independence Tour is coming to cities across the province.
