Premier Smith asked for Alberta to have a real voice in choosing judges who rule on Alberta matters. Ottawa shut it down almost immediately. Quebec already has protected judicial representation. So the question is simple. Why is this acceptable for Quebec but not for Alberta?

Bloc Leader Blanchet offers tips for Alberta Separation. "Define oneself as a Nation. This requires a culture of their own..... oil and gas does not define a culture." Blanchet would never interfer in that but wants Quebec to be first.

Quebec doesn't want equalization to be about helping poor Provinces maintain a better quality of life. Quebec wants to dictate to Canada how we operate and give themselves vast sums money, for keeping their resources like natural gas, in the ground. They have said this for years.

Smith yesterday "So do you hope that Quebec will approve a new gas pipeline from Alberta like the one that is proposed by Marinvest?" "if there was a possibility for us to restart that conversation, I'd be open to it." "As you may know, Alberta Oil already comes to Quebec by way of line nine." "And then it gets put into a tanker and comes up to Quebec. It's part of the reason why I'm going to be able to fly home today, because aviation fuel from Alberta processed here is going to fill the plane that gets me back to my province." Danielle Smith

Bloc Leader Blanchet comments on the Danielle Smith / Mark Carney agreement. Saying both Canada and Alberta get something out of it. Blanchet said Quebec will support BC when it comes to fighting the pipeline. (Video issues from source. Apologies).

⚜️🖕🇨🇦 : I am so fed up with Quebec demanding they get special treatment in Canada, at the expense of everyone else. Are you just as fed up? The Bloc Québécois demand that Quebec tax dollars to only be invested in Quebec. The Bloc Québécois says they must protect key sectors of the Quebec economy & the French language. At the same time Quebec takes in huge sums of taxes from the rest of Canada through a rigged equalization formula that gives Quebec over $13 billion every year in “equalization”. This despite Quebec having a comparable economic strength to British Columbia, which is forced to pay into equalization. Quebec gets to hide their #1 source of natural revenue (Hydro) from the equalization formula, making them poor on paper only. Quebec also gets extra Canadian taxpayer cash for… 💰Immigration 💰Heritage 💰Culture 💰Languages 💰French only government jobs 💰Corporate bailouts 💰SNC Lavalin contracts across 🇨🇦 Meanwhile Quebec demands the rest of Canada shift away from oil & gas to Quebec approve clean energy. This directly hurts Alberta and the rest of Canada that relies on equalization payments, to keep their Provinces from becoming super poor. This also stifled foreign investment because it adds an extra layer of uncertainty to any major oil & gas project. Yet Quebec is quite happy to allow foreign oil to pour into the Canadian economy. Time to treat Quebec like everyone else. There is nothing special about a Province that leeches off the poor, while claiming they're a Nation in waiting.

Quebec got referendums. Alberta gets courtroom lectures. Rebel News asked Danielle Smith if Albertans are treated differently than other Canadians. Smith pointed to democratic rights, the Constitution, the Clarity Act, and Quebec. That is the part Ottawa hates. Equal treatment should not require an appeal. Unless the province asking is Alberta. @rebel

Watch Stephane Dion rail against Alberta and Danielle Smith over separation—with all the spittle and head-jiggling theatrics—yet when asked about his own Quebec, it’s suddenly just “foolish” This wasn’t an interview. It was a hellfire-and-damnation sermon against a Premier and a province for doing exactly what Quebec and its separatists have done for decades Rosie doesn’t even try to point out—or question—Dion’s avalanche of opprobrium aimed at Alberta but never at Quebec separatists. Worse, she actually encourages it The irony never ends: Alberta has sent hundreds of billions in equalization payments to Quebec, yet Dion warns Albertans they’d be forced to “share the dividends of their natural resources with 240 million Americans” if they left. This interview is a perfect example of everything wrong with CBC’s coverage of Alberta separatism. Stéphane Dion Rosemary Barton Danielle Smith

Fun Fact : In 2019, the separatist Bloc Québécois said oil & gas producing Provinces in Canada should be forced to pay more equalization money, to Quebec. For a Federally funded party that wants Quebec to leave Canada, they sure seem to love leeching money away from Western Provinces. But we are told Alberta separatists are the villains in Canada.

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.

So what I'm telling you, I'm telling you, you may have a referendum also like Quebec in 2026, next year. Vote yes, because if you don't vote yes, look what happened in Quebec with 49%. You want to have your own police force like Quebec, you must have it. You want to be able to have your pension plan like the Caisse de dépôt in Quebec, you must have it. You must be able to develop your own natural resources, you must be able to do it. You must have more private delivery in healthcare to be more efficient, you're fed up with the Canada Healthcare Act, you must be able to do it. Maxime Bernier People's Party of Canada Daniel Brisson

Daniel Smith responds to a question about Bloc Leader Blanchet saying, " There's no future for oil and gas in Quebec and probably everywhere". Smith responds with, "Canadians did not vote for fringe parties like the Bloc, Green, or NDP." "Canadians and Albertans voted for Canada to be an economic powerhouse."

CBC's Lyndsay Duncombe did a piece on equalization for the National, interviewing Trevor Tombe and Tegan Hill of the Fraser Institute, but pretended the math and formula is complicated and hard to understand. It isn't that difficult. Quebec keeps domestic hydro rates artificially low through Hydro-Québec, which slashes its measured fiscal capacity and inflates its equalization payments by billions Meanwhile, Duncombe omits that Quebec deliberately suppresses other resource development (oil/gas exploration limits, etc.), further reducing its own-source revenues—yet provinces like Alberta get full clawbacks for actually developing theirs. Quebec polls show that they are open to both resource development and pipelines Conveniently omitting that crucial detail from the national broadcast is once again giving Alberta separatists ammunition. They can rightly argue that the full story isn't being told Trevor Tombe Danielle Smith The Fraser Institute

🦅👮🌹🗳️ : Alberta Premier Danielle Smith tars and feathers First Nation Chiefs for undemocratically demanding an investigation into possible treason, by Danielle Smith. 🗳️ The accusation is, Danielle Smith allowing a non binding referendum, on the possibility of a future referendum on Alberta separation, constitutes an act of treason. ⚜️ I wonder why no one ever accuses the Bloc Quebecois of treason? They actually call for Quebec to leave Canada, all the time.
