Danielle Smith "We have no issue with Alberta continuing to subsidize smaller provinces with their needs, but there is no excuse for such large and powerful economies like Ontario, Quebec, B.C." "...To be clear from the outset, our government will not be putting a vote on separation from Canada on the referendum ballot." "...I know how frustrated so many of you have become with our country and the feeling of having politicians living thousands of miles away passing laws and rules that have cost you your loved ones jobs, careers, dreams and opportunities for a brighter future." "As most Albertans know, I have repeatedly stated I do not support Alberta separating from Canada." "I personally still have hope that there is a path forward for a strong and sovereign Alberta within a united Canada." Danielle Smith

For decades, Alberta has tried reform within Canada: the Firewall Letter, the Fair Deal Panel, the equalization referendum, and more. So when people say “Lead, not leave,” it’s fair to ask whether we’ve already been trying that for generations. #Alberta

A message to Doug Ford and Danielle Smith: Canadians see what’s happening. This didn’t happen overnight. For years, some American politicians, think tanks, and private healthcare advocates have promoted privatized healthcare models, and those ideas have increasingly influenced debates in Ontario and Alberta. Canada’s public healthcare system needs investment, more healthcare workers, and better access not a two-tier system where your income determines how quickly you receive care. Universal public healthcare is one of Canada’s greatest achievements. Protect it. Strengthen it. Don’t dismantle it. Watch the video.

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

WATCH: Francis Bradley, President and CEO of Electricity Canada, says that the Liberal’s so-called “clean electricity regulations” will HURT provinces like Alberta, Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia, and even Ontario. He said he’s been hearing from provincial electricity providers that the CERs will have a significant impact on the reliability and cost of electricity. Under a Liberal cost-of-living crisis, Canadians can’t afford even higher prices. Only Conservatives will scrap anti-development Liberal laws and unleash Canada’s natural resources for the benefit of all Canadians.

Peter Thiel on why the US is complacent with high taxes in 2012: “All the low-tax countries are really far away.” “So the threat of our most talented people leaving is not that great.” “If we were a smaller country like France or Sweden—there would be more pressure to reform.”

Sheila Gunn Reid asks Danielle Smith about the Chinese canola tariffs and Bloc opposition to pipelines "It seems like it's a bit of a phony war." "We've got 100% tax on EV vehicles from China that no one's buying in order to protect an EV industry in Ontario that doesn't exist." On pipelines "What Albertans and Canadians voted for was for Canada to become an economic superpower." "And that means also an energy superpower." "And that is what I would fully expect Mark Carney to do." "I hope that he's able to continue forward with an agenda that perhaps even the Conservative opposition would support him in." Sheila Gunn Reid Danielle Smith

I've never liked roadmaps. Even though they're for new things later, they've always feel like looking backwards in time. Essentially, it's a list that says "here's what we thought then". I prefer working from a "here's what we think now" position. So every few weeks we decide, from scratch, what's worth working on next. Old ideas are fair game if they're as good as the new ones today. But writing them down before doesn't give them any priority over ones we come up with on the spot today. Here's more about why I don't like roadmaps:

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: Ontario collected payments from 2009 to 2018 while British Columbia — which had a lower GDP per person than Ontario in each of those 10 years — received zero. Former federal Opposition leader and Alberta finance minister (((Stockwell Day))) joined the Buffalo Roundtable on Wednesday to break it down alongside hosts Sheila Gunn Reid and Tamara Lich 🇨🇦. "If you can't raise taxes in your province because of bad economic policy, you shouldn't be bailed out and subsidized by other provinces who are willing to be more fiscally prudent," Day said. The former Reform Party leader pointed to Bob Rae's NDP government in Ontario in 1993 as a case study. There, socialist economic policies drove away entrepreneurs and investors while Alberta, under Ralph Klein, was cutting costs, lowering taxes and attracting business. Sheila added that the formula also fails to account for provinces that deliberately refuse to develop their own natural resources — noting Quebec's undeveloped natural gas fields while it collects equalization drawn from Alberta's oil revenues. The Buffalo panel also reacted to good news: Alberta is responsible for nearly 80% of all new jobs created in Canada, with 2,677,000 people employed as of last month, up 3% from the previous year, compared to just half a percentage point nationally and comes after Meta announced its largest ever foreign investment will be in Alberta. Day called it "fantastic news" and noted that 40% of the world's 3.5 billion internet users rely on Meta products. "Alberta lands this one," he said, adding that the federal Liberals would inevitably claim credit but that Alberta would benefit regardless. Sheila and Tamara noted the Meta deal proves a straightforward point: remove the roadblocks facing the oil and gas sector and private capital flows in. "This is just a prime example of what happens when you move all that," Tamara said. The Buffalo Roundtable, where weekly guests join Rebel News hosts to discuss the top issues facing Western Canada, airs live every Wednesday at 11 a.m. MT / 1 p.m. ET.

🚨 Alberta just dropped the nuclear option. As an Ontarian I am ENVIOUS of Premiers like Danielle Smith instead we have Liberal Doug Ford 🤦🏻‍♂️ that ONLY decides to act like a Conservative when something affects HIM personally. Premier Danielle Smith announced a public vote on October 19th: Should Alberta hold a referendum to SEPARATE from Canada? Mark Carney’s immediate response? “Dangerous bluff. Just like Brexit. You’ll regret it.” Translation: Ottawa doesn’t want Alberta keeping its own money. Here’s the brutal reality the Laurentian elite never talk about: Alberta = Canada’s Texas. Oil. Agriculture. Hard work. They generate the surplus… and Ottawa takes it via equalization payments and ships it to Quebec, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Manitoba — provinces that “can’t carry their own weight” because of decades of Liberal policies. Look at the chart (timestamp ~2:50). Alberta’s bar sticks out like a sore thumb while the have-not provinces line up for their cheque. This isn’t “unity.” This is wealth transfer on steroids. Albertans are tired of: - Funding policies they never voted for - Watching their resource wealth subsidize Ontario/Quebec priorities - Being told they’re the problem Two completely different value systems. Two different countries in all but name. Carney can call it a “bluff” all he wants. Canadians are waking up to the math: Your paycheque is being raided twice — once federally, and again provincially through this rigged system. Alberta isn’t asking permission anymore. Drop your take below: Should Alberta get the referendum? Should they actually leave? Or is Carney right and this is all just “regret later”? #AlbertaSeparation #Wexit #EqualizationTheft #MarkCarney #cdnpoli #CanadaDivided #DanielleSmith #PBDPodcast
