On Whyte Ave in Edmonton, I asked a passerby about Alberta independence. There was no argument — just anger and insults. That contrast matters. Supporters talk about the future and offer reasons. Opposition offers hostility instead of substance. #WhyteAve #Edmonton #AlbertaIndependence #OpenDebate

On Whyte Ave in Edmonton, I walk with an Alberta flag and ask people about Alberta independence. One woman argued we live on “stolen land.” I calmly followed the logic — and the contradiction ended the conversation. Real talk beats slogans. #WhyteAve #Edmonton #AlbertaIndependence #FreeSpeech

On Whyte Ave in Edmonton, I walk with an Alberta flag and ask two questions: If you support Alberta independence — what do you want in a new constitution? If you oppose it — what gives you confidence the current path will improve? Honest answers matter. #WhyteAve #Edmonton #AlbertaIndependence

On Whyte Ave in Edmonton, a geologist told me everything is fine. I asked about housing costs and oil & gas job losses. He wasn’t aware Alberta’s rig count has collapsed over the last decade — public data anyone can check. If you haven’t lost your livelihood, things feel great. Many have. #Edmonton #WhyteAve #AlbertaIndependence #OilAndGas #RigCount

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:

Hydrogen is a fuel for the future and Alberta is poised to become a global leader in both technology and fuel production. This week, I was thrilled to unveil Alberta's newest hydrogen fuelling station, south of Edmonton, that will be part of our comprehensive provincial network.

As I began filming in front of Rogers Place about Alberta independence, a woman walked past, called me a “white supremacist,” and refused to engage. No questions. No discussion. Just a label. This is where our politics are: tribe replacing thought, insult replacing argument. What does that say about public discourse in Canada today?

"Provincial Capital of Alberta, don't have to tell you you're in Oiler Country and feeling good." This isn't an ordinary day, folks. Edmonton is about to bring a level of energy that can't be matched in the world of sports.

I’m at the Rays game and I see a large sign that says “Black History Matters.” African American players make up about 6% of Major League Baseball. The contrast feels striking. I don’t see any signs here that say “White History Matters.” How about we focus on “American History Matters” instead?

Francisco Alvarez was asked about using ABS challenges early today "There was a runner on first there. I thought in challenging that one instead of having a 3-1 count, it could be a 2-2 count and I think it makes a big difference there"

A guy in Calgary told me we’re not even allowed to discuss Alberta independence. Think about that. Apparently in Canada, we’re only allowed to talk about approved political topics. Then he said Alberta leaving Canada isn’t legal because one judge said the petition can’t be counted. So I asked him: If that decision was successfully appealed, would that change your mind? He said no. And that’s the whole point. For a lot of people, “it’s not legal” is not actually a legal argument. It’s just a talking point. The second the legal process doesn’t support them anymore, they still oppose it anyway. Quebec had two referendums. The Supreme Court already dealt with the issue of secession. But somehow when Alberta wants to even talk about it, people act like the conversation itself is forbidden. All the more reason for Alberta to quickly get off this dystopian train.

Connor McDavid on Friday was asked about signing a short-term deal in Edmonton. He said all options are on the table. Including “no term”. He said that. Like…in a microphone. The potential distraction this is going to lead to in that market is going to be unprecedented.

Outside Rogers Place before an Oilers game, I asked people about Alberta independence. One woman told me it was “the worst idea ever”… then walked away without wanting to talk. That moment says a lot about modern politics — ideas get dismissed without discussion. Meanwhile, governments build relationships with authoritarian regimes that don’t respect freedom or human rights, while risking our relationship with the United States, Alberta’s closest ally and largest trading partner. For the record, not everyone felt that way. During filming, others openly said they support Alberta independence — positive reactions just don’t always go viral. The conversation about Alberta’s future should be peaceful, open, and democratic.
