Alberta has a brilliant future ahead as soon as we cut loose from the rotting corpse of Canada. Canada's a dying communist country. We need to get away from it. No federal income tax. No GST. No Ottawa shutting down our oil industry. Vote for independence. #Ableg

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?

Poilievre today "You need to take home more of your pay, and that's why Conservatives want to cut your income tax, so that of every dollar you earn, you bring home more of that dollar." "We're going to end all taxes on home building." "Right now, the single biggest cost for a new home is taxes." "If we got rid of the taxes, the average home would be about $200,000 less across Canada." Pierre Poilievre

Democrats independence a bill to abolish the income tax on lower income Americans, but increase the income tax on high earners “Under the bill, any income up to $46,000 for individuals, or $92,000 for couples would not be subject to enter any federal income taxes” “Now, to fund it taxpayers making more than a million dollars a year would get a progressive tax hike - Those making between $1 and 2 million would pay an extra 5% for a total top rate of 42% (current federal) - Those making more than $5 million a year would have a top federal rate of 59% So what does that mean? Well, someone here in New York City making more than $5 million a year, their combined state, city, and federal rate would be over 73%. For New Jersey taxpayers making more than million a year, the combined state and federal rate would be over 69%”

Ready for your mind to be blown. Donald Trump revealed on Joe Rogan the only reason we’re still paying an income tax in America is because US Politicians are paid off by foreign countries You should be furious “in the early 1900, they switched over stupidly to an income tax. And you know why? Because countries were putting a lot of pressure on America. We don't wanna pay tariffs. Believe me, they control our politicians. If you look at the kind of numbers that these guys make then and now” We are all literally paying an income tax because US Politicians are taking bribes from foreign counties to enrich themselves

🇺🇸 JD VANCE: “BIGGEST TAX CUT FOR FAMILIES THIS COUNTRY HAS EVER SEEN” “What [One Big Beautiful Bill] means for you is that your take-home pay is going to go up over $10,000 over the next few years. If you're working an hour of overtime, the federal government is going to keep its money the hell out of your pocket. If you're making your income via tips, we are not going to tax tips anymore. That’s why we increased that child tax credit in the Working Families Tax Cut.” Source: Rapid Response 47

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.

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:

While walking through a Walmart parking lot in Wainwright with my friend who moved here from Ontario, a man walked up, recognized me, and started talking about why he supports Alberta independence. Totally random. Totally unscripted. And honestly, that’s what made it powerful. Wainwright is a military town, so naturally the conversation turned toward soldiers, veterans, and what independence would mean for them. He said a lot of soldiers support independence, but many are worried about their jobs because there is still uncertainty about what transition would look like. That concern is real, and it deserves to be taken seriously. But here’s what we believe: Albertans have deep respect for our veterans. We are ashamed of how Canada has treated too many of them. A country that tells veterans they can access MAID instead of making sure they receive the care, honour, and support they deserve has lost something very important. An independent Alberta would have the chance to build something better. A proud military. A serious defence culture. A country that honours its veterans, protects its people, and treats service as something worthy of respect. Veterans and soldiers who support Alberta independence should not feel abandoned by this movement. They should know that many of us see them as essential to the country we are trying to build. This was just a random encounter in a Walmart parking lot. But it said a lot about where Alberta is headed. Vote Yes For An Independent Alberta! Full video on YouTube:

🚨 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.

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.

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.

One of the most moving moments in Red Deer was talking to a kindly older woman standing on a busy street, waving an Alberta flag alongside a crowd of hundreds, and explaining exactly why she was there. She said she was doing it for her kids and her grandkids. She wants them to live free, be able to buy a house, get educated, and have a good life. That is what made the moment so powerful. This was not politics as a hobby. This was a grandmother looking at the direction of the country and deciding that if she wants a better future for the next generation, she has to step out into public and stand for it. That is deeply symbolic. Because when you see an older woman on the side of a major road waving a flag for Alberta independence, you are not looking at extremism. You are looking at concern, love, memory, and hope. You are looking at someone who has lived long enough to compare the Canada she remembers with the Canada we have now, and who no longer believes the current path will deliver a decent life for her family. She says very plainly that Canada has betrayed Alberta, that Ottawa wants Alberta’s money and resources but will not help Alberta prosper, and that this is why she now believes Alberta has to take care of itself. That matters because it shows what is driving this movement at a human level. A lot of people outside Alberta still try to frame support for independence as anger or protest alone. But conversations like this show something deeper. Many people are being motivated by love of family and a desire to leave their children and grandchildren something better than debt, housing insecurity, declining affordability, and a political system that seems to take Alberta for granted. She says her kids may never buy a home the way things are now, and that some cannot even afford food. That is not abstract ideology. That is a moral alarm bell. She also makes the case many Albertans now make instinctively: if Alberta kept more of its own money, managed its own affairs, and stopped endlessly subsidizing a system that does not serve it, families here would have a real chance to get ahead again. More opportunity. Less tax burden. More control. More ability to build a future in our own province. Whether people agree with every detail or not, the emotional truth behind it is clear: she sees independence not as destruction, but as rescue. And maybe that is the most significant thing about the whole exchange. For her, Alberta independence is not mainly about grievance. It is about hope. Hope that her grandkids might still buy a home. Hope that they might live free. Hope that Alberta might finally start working for Albertans again. When a grandmother is standing on the roadside saying that out loud, people should pay attention.

Property tax bills are due today. Imagine if Ottawa forced Alberta to collect a big federal tax hike on provincial letterhead. That's how municipalities are treated with the Province's 57% property tax increase over four years. It's time to keep property taxes local, with clear accountability and transparency. Imagine if Justin Trudeau ordered Danielle Smith to collect a massive federal tax increase through Alberta's tax bill. She'd be furious. That’s exactly what’s happening today to Alberta’s cities, with today’s deadline to pay your property tax bill. Not many of you may know, but now upwards of half of your property taxes go to the provincial government, and not the town, city, or municipality you live in. The biggest increase on your property tax bill didn't come from City Hall. It came from the Provincial government. The Province imposed a 21 percent increase on your property tax bill, the largest property tax increase in Calgary's history. Over the past four years, it has increased the education property tax by 57 percent. By comparison, our Council held the municipal property tax increase to just 1.8 percent. That funds police, firefighters, roads, transit, parks, snow clearing, recreation centres, and the infrastructure that keeps Calgary moving. Because of the Province's education property tax equalization formula, Calgary homeowners are paying about twice the increase faced by Edmonton homeowners. Don't take my word for it. Here's how the Premier herself describes where a large share of your property tax goes. "If we're going to rail against equalization at the federal level, then we can't keep doing the same thing to our municipalities..." The Premier is right. If we're going to oppose equalization at the federal level, we shouldn't be doing the same thing to Alberta's municipalities. Property taxes are local taxes. They should stay local. The Province should fund provincial priorities through its other revenue sources, and municipalities should collect property taxes for local services. Thank you for supporting the City services that keep Calgary safe, moving, and growing.

These are the 5 worst states for retirees financially: - Number 5, California, they tax your entire 401k withdrawal, $100,000 in distributions, $8,000 bucks straight to Sacramento. And if you own a home at the median price, which is now above $900,000 bucks, property tax is nearly $9,000. On top of that, not to mention it's the only state to fully tax military retirement benefits. - Number 4, New York, they give a $40,000 exclusion for married couples. Sounds decent, but — the other$60 grand gets taxed, add on 8.25% sales tax. And if you live in the city, add an additional extra city income tax because why not - Number 3, Jersey highest property tax in the country with the average bill just hitting $10,000. But they do offer retirement income exclusion up to a $100,000. The only catch total income has to stay below $150 grand, cross that threshold by even a dollar and say hello to $6,500 bucks of new taxes - Number 2, Connecticut property taxes. Third highest nationally at $7,700 a year on a $400,000 home, but they are phasing in full retirement income exemption. That hits a hundred percent in 2026. They're the only state on this list actually getting better. They're not there yet, and I blame Greenwich - Number 1, Illinois. Yes, they exempt all retirement income, zero state tax on your 401k. but property tax is second highest nationally and in Chicago the sales tax is 10.25%

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.
