Equalization is broken and discouraging economic growth The Fraser Institute has released a report declaring that equalization is broken. In 15 of the last 25 years, one or more provinces with higher living standards received equalization payments while provinces with lower per-capita GDP received nothing. The most glaring example:...

EXCLUSIVE: Business Owner Absorbs Customers' Gas Taxes to Raise Awareness of Alberta’s Potential Whistle Stop Cafe owner Chris Scott, from Mirror, Alberta, says he is at least $6,000 out of pocket for covering the federal and provincial gas taxes himself, instead of passing them on to consumers for a day, to showcase what a truly prosperous Alberta should look like. Scott's choice of day for the event led some to question if it was an April Fools' joke. But it was no joke—it also coincided with the day the federal government lifted the carbon tax. However, for Scott, “that’s really a drop in the bucket." “If you look at what the Alberta government collects in road tax and what they spend on roads, you’ll see exactly why we don’t need it,” emphasized Scott, arguing that an Alberta without any gas taxes is entirely feasible. "We’ve been supporting the Easterners long enough. I think it’s time to look after ourselves. To hell with them!" said one customer, in favor of Alberta's separation from Canada, while filling up multiple jerry cans.

Alberta separatism rising because Canada is 'broken' and 'can't be fixed': Bruce Pardy 🍁 "They're looking for a different solution, and that solution is to leave. And I agree with them about the necessity for doing that," said law professor Bruce Pardy. On last night's episode of The Ezra Levant 🍁🚛 Show, law professor Bruce Pardy joined the show to discuss Alberta's rising independence movement and its potential future implications. Pardy discussed the likely thought process behind the rising number of Albertans who see independence as the most logical path forward after years under a federal Liberal government. "Canada is broken. It's become apparent, through the COVID period, but not limited to COVID, that there's something seriously wrong in this country in all different kinds of ways," he said. "And second, it can't be fixed. It seems like we've arrived at a place in this country, both in terms of our constitutional order and the way we're governed and the way that people think even, that contemplating any serious reform of the way the country works is not on the table," Pardy continued. "So if the country is broken and cannot be fixed, then what else do you got? And what appears to be the case is that in Alberta there's some kind of critical mass of people who understands both those two things ... And therefore they're looking for a different solution, and that solution is to leave. And I agree with them about the necessity for doing that," he added. The Alberta Prosperity Project is currently leading a citizen-led petition drive to reach 177,732 signatures in order to trigger a referendum on independence later this year. Proponents of Alberta's independence cite the province's untapped economic potential through natural resources and unfair treatment by the federal government as key reasons for seeking separation.

🚨 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

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.

Albertans have had enough of Ottawa’s economic attacks on our province and know it’s time to take a stand. That’s why today I am launching the Alberta Next Panel. Our province has contributed immensely to the prosperity of this country, yet Ottawa continues to attack our economy, abuse Alberta taxpayers with unfair equalization and federal transfers, and destructively interfere in multiple areas of provincial jurisdiction - from resource development to environmental policy to child care to health care. This status quo threatens our province’s economic future and way of life. We owe it to all Albertans and future generations to address and solve this challenge without delay. The Alberta Next Panel is a province-wide series of in-person and virtual town halls, where your voice, your ideas, and your values will help shape Alberta’s road ahead. The panel gives you a seat at the table to: • Speak directly with government and industry leaders, constitutional scholars, and policy experts • Explore ideas for Alberta to assert our constitutional rights to prosper and become an equal partner in confederation • Discuss how we can protect Alberta from outside economic attacks going forward And when the panel has finished its work, it will recommend which ideas should be put to the people of Alberta for a referendum vote in 2026. Visit Get involved. Learn more. Have your say.

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:

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.

One of the things Mickelly Carlone noticed after moving from Ontario to Alberta was how much friendlier people are here. He said in Ontario, people on the street often don’t even talk to each other. Then he came to Alberta, and one day he got home from work and found out somebody had plowed his entire driveway for free. No announcement. No invoice. No expectation. Just a neighbor seeing something that needed to be done and doing it. That might sound small to some people, but this is one of the things that makes Alberta different. We take pride in helping each other out. When someone is stuck, we help. When someone needs a hand, we show up. When there’s snow to move, a truck to pull out, a neighbor to check on, or a family going through a hard time, Albertans don’t wait around for government to solve it. We just do what needs to be done. Maybe that happens in Ontario too sometimes. But according to my friend, it is not normal there. In Alberta, it is. And that culture is worth protecting.

Act For Alberta launches billboard truck campaign to fuel independence movement Act For Alberta has kicked off a provincewide mobile billboard campaign aimed at building support for Alberta independence and pushing back against Ottawa’s grip on the province. The registered third-party advertiser has hired Rebel News’s famous “Big, Beautiful Billboard Truck” to roll across Alberta with messages supporting sovereignty and challenging the federal political class. The truck made its first stop at the Alberta Legislature Building — and Rebel News was on scene to welcome it as the campaign officially hit the road. Albertans have spent decades being ignored, overtaxed and overruled by Canada’s Laurentian elite, while decisions affecting Alberta jobs, energy and freedoms are made thousands of kilometres away in Ottawa. Unlike legacy media outlets that often dismiss Western frustration, the billboard truck takes the message straight to the streets; impossible to censor, impossible to spin, and built for viral attention online and in person. Act For Alberta is one of several groups tapping into long-running anger over blocked pipelines, equalization payments, firearms policy, federal overreach and a political system many westerners believe is rigged against them. While separatism has long sat outside the mainstream, support tends to surge whenever Ottawa tightens the screws. And are they ever! The province will hold a direct referendum on independence and the right to choose its own future on October 19, 2026. REPORT by Sheila Gunn Reid:

🚨 David David Knight Legg: Why Meta chose Alberta for a $13-billion investment 'This is something that takes Alberta into the next century,' said Legg on Thursday's episode of The Ezra Levant 🍁🚛 Show. On Thursday's episode of The Ezra Levant Show, David Knight Legg joined the show to discuss Meta’s $13 billion Alberta project, the failure of crony capitalism and Alberta’s resurgence as a tech powerhouse. Here’s something you haven’t seen in Canada for a long time, a colossal industrial investment that didn’t come with a government handout. Meta, the company formerly known as Facebook, is putting $13 billion into a new data centre in Sturgeon County, Alberta. Not in Ontario, not in Quebec and not with a single federal minister claiming credit. Private capital, real jobs and a bold new stake in the digital economy. Contrast that with what’s become the norm in Canada. Under Justin Trudeau and Mark Carney, industrial projects have meant government projects, taxpayer-funded battery plants and wind farms, mostly in Ontario and Quebec, with politicians demanding their cut of the credit. Tens of billions shovelled into factories that only exist because governments paid them to. That’s called crony capitalism. But Meta’s announcement flips that script. This isn’t a backroom deal cooked up in Ottawa. There’s no major project office smoothing the path, no prime ministerial intervention. Instead, what Alberta has built is a climate for investment, tax cuts, regulatory reform and a pro-business attitude that says if you want to build, build. And they have. Meta’s data centre will mean 3,000 construction jobs at the peak, more than 300 permanent roles and $60 million in local infrastructure upgrades. Not a cent of it was paid for by taxpayers. In fact, the money that governments are bragging about is tax revenue and salaries, not outflows but inflows. David Knight Legg, who helped shape Alberta’s investment strategy, spells it out: Alberta’s approach is paying off. Private investors are coming back. Meta isn’t alone. Dow, Linde Corporation, and Air Products have all chosen Alberta recently, drawn by the same formula: low taxes, stable regulation and abundant energy. Alberta has done what the Irish Development Agency did for Ireland, turning the province into a magnet for global capital with policy, not handouts. This is the clearest sign yet that Canada can compete when the government gets out of the way. Meta’s centre is a next-generation, AI-optimized hub, one gigawatt of power, fully matched by renewable energy and designed for zero operational water consumption. It’s the 33rd in Meta’s global fleet but the first in Canada and the largest outside the United States. This is exactly the kind of project politicians say they want: high-tech, green and future-focused. Only this time, they didn’t write the cheque. What those advocates for government-led industrial policy won’t tell you is this: When you let the market work, when you set the right incentives and when you stop treating business as a cash cow, real investment follows. Alberta is proving it. And Meta’s $13 billion bet is just the start.

On Thursday's episode of The Ezra Levant Show, David Knight Legg joined the show to discuss Meta’s $13 billion Alberta project, the failure of crony capitalism and Alberta’s resurgence as a tech powerhouse. Here’s something you haven’t seen in Canada for a long time, a colossal industrial investment that didn’t come with a government handout. Meta, the company formerly known as Facebook, is putting $13 billion into a new data centre in Sturgeon County, Alberta. Not in Ontario, not in Quebec and not with a single federal minister claiming credit. Private capital, real jobs and a bold new stake in the digital economy. Contrast that with what’s become the norm in Canada. Under Justin Trudeau and Mark Carney, industrial projects have meant government projects, taxpayer-funded battery plants and wind farms, mostly in Ontario and Quebec, with politicians demanding their cut of the credit. Tens of billions shovelled into factories that only exist because governments paid them to. That’s called crony capitalism. But Meta’s announcement flips that script. This isn’t a backroom deal cooked up in Ottawa. There’s no major project office smoothing the path, no prime ministerial intervention. Instead, what Alberta has built is a climate for investment, tax cuts, regulatory reform and a pro-business attitude that says if you want to build, build. And they have. Meta’s data centre will mean 3,000 construction jobs at the peak, more than 300 permanent roles and $60 million in local infrastructure upgrades. Not a cent of it was paid for by taxpayers. In fact, the money that governments are bragging about is tax revenue and salaries, not outflows but inflows. David Knight Legg, who helped shape Alberta’s investment strategy, spells it out: Alberta’s approach is paying off. Private investors are coming back. Meta isn’t alone. Dow, Linde Corporation, and Air Products have all chosen Alberta recently, drawn by the same formula: low taxes, stable regulation and abundant energy. Alberta has done what the Irish Development Agency did for Ireland, turning the province into a magnet for global capital with policy, not handouts. This is the clearest sign yet that Canada can compete when the government gets out of the way. Meta’s centre is a next-generation, AI-optimized hub, one gigawatt of power, fully matched by renewable energy and designed for zero operational water consumption. It’s the 33rd in Meta’s global fleet but the first in Canada and the largest outside the United States. This is exactly the kind of project politicians say they want: high-tech, green and future-focused. Only this time, they didn’t write the cheque. What those advocates for government-led industrial policy won’t tell you is this: When you let the market work, when you set the right incentives and when you stop treating business as a cash cow, real investment follows. Alberta is proving it. And Meta’s $13 billion bet is just the start.

🚨 'EXPERTS' SILENT! There was more to today's economic report than just GDP, and we can't allow the elite economists to get away with lying for months. Trump Economic Director Kevin Hassett: "There's blockbuster [GDP] growth WAY above expectation and there's also a real, almost COLLAPSE, in inflation. Went down by about a percent and a half all the way down to 2.1%, which is the Fed's target." "It's really one of the best GDP announcements or releases that you could imagine." "To have high growth with low inflation and also high income growth, personal income growth was 3 percent. That's just like about a sweet spot for a GDP release." "All of this happened while $127 billion in tariffs was raised, which is clearly not harming the American consumer. And we've been downsizing government in order to be more fiscally responsible. 70,000 federal jobs have been reduced at 5%. There was a 5% reduction in federal government spending while all this was going on." All of it, in tandem, is exactly what I voted for.

I was in Rocky Mountain House recently for a massive pro Alberta independence rally. Hundreds of people were waving Alberta flags and driving around town, and I found a small group of about seven pro-Canada counter protesters and decided to engage them. One man challenged me. He said that if Alberta independence loses, I should give up. I told him plainly that yes, if we lose, I will respect the will of the voters. Then I asked him the same question back. If Alberta wins, will you accept it? He reluctantly said yes, but the moment I pressed him on what percentage he would accept, he would not even engage with the argument. He would not clearly accept a majority. That tells you a lot. For too many on the pro-Canada side, this is not really about democracy. It is about imposing their will on Albertans who disagree with them, then using shame and fear to pressure us into silence. The second part of his argument was that the independence movement is hurting investment in Alberta. My answer was that Ottawa already did that and we have nothing to loose. For years, federal policy has blocked pipelines, restricted market access, and damaged confidence in Alberta’s future. Then, when Albertans finally start pushing back, we are told that we are the problem. He even claimed there is no tanker ban. That is factually false. Canada’s Oil Tanker Moratorium Act does restrict large crude oil and persistent-oil tankers from stopping, loading, or unloading at ports on BC’s north coast. The details matter, but the broader point stands: Ottawa has put real barriers in the way of Alberta getting its resources to market. His response was basically, if that is true, then why is Alberta still so rich and prosperous? My answer was simple: because we work hard, we have a lot going for us, and it takes a lot to sink us. But that does not prove Canada is working. It proves Alberta is strong enough to keep carrying a country that keeps dragging us down. Canada feels more and more like a sinking ship, and Alberta is the last thing holding it up. That is why I support independence. Please sign the petition. Go to to find a signing location near you.

🚨 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.

'Alberta Forever'? New petition pushes to keep the province in Canada Former PC deputy premier Thomas Lukaszuk leads a counter-petition to block Alberta sovereignty, racing to collect nearly 300,000 signatures by October 28. A new petition is making the rounds — one that calls for Alberta to stay in Canada. The campaign, titled “Alberta Forever Canada,” is being positioned as a direct counter to the growing Alberta independence movement. The timing isn’t a coincidence. This petition was launched almost immediately after a citizens’ initiative was filed to hold a province-wide vote on whether Alberta should separate from Ottawa and pursue sovereignty. That separation petition has clearly rattled the political atmosphere. Now we’re seeing the counter-offensive. Former Progressive Conservative deputy premier Thomas Lukaszuk, one of Alberta’s most vocal critics of independence, quickly sought approval from Elections Alberta to put forward his own initiative. The question being asked is: “Do you agree that Alberta should remain in Canada?” Lukaszuk and his team has just 90 days to gather nearly 300,000 valid signatures before the October 28th deadline. But make no mistake: this is more than just paperwork. This is political warfare. On one side, Albertans who feel Ottawa has repeatedly attacked our energy industry, our farmers, and our provincial autonomy. Many believe independence is the only way to safeguard Alberta’s future and preserve our traditional way of life. On the other side, federal loyalists insist Alberta is inseparable from Canada. In this report we speak to petition organizers and those who came to sign.
