Recent polls suggest Alberta independence support is around 41%. At a similar stage, Quebec separation support was about 30% — and it climbed to 49.5% by referendum day. That tells us something important: momentum matters. With a clear campaign and honest debate, picking up another 10–15% isn’t unrealistic. And...

One of the most encouraging conversations I had in Red Deer was with the Alberta snowbirds from Yuma. These are Albertans who spend part of the winter in places like Arizona, and instead of checking out politically while they were away, they helped turn Yuma into one of the most unexpectedly inspiring little hubs of the independence movement. In this conversation, they explain that their Yuma team held six pop-up signing events, and at one of the bigger turnouts they saw roughly 350 people show up, with only a handful of canvassers trying to keep up. That is not a gimmick. That is real support showing up in the middle of another country because Albertans abroad still care deeply about what happens back home. That is why this matters. A lot of people saw the Yuma story as a funny social media moment. But it is actually much more than that. It is a sign that this movement has reached a level of mainstream visibility where ordinary Albertans are no longer waiting for permission, no longer hiding their support, and no longer treating independence as some fringe theory that only gets discussed in private. They are carrying it with them wherever they go. Arizona, Mexico, Hawaii, even farther afield. That tells you something important: this idea is alive in people now. It travels with them. It is becoming part of their identity. The Yuma team also makes another point that matters. They were not calling themselves heroes. They said they were just tough Albertans who were not going to put up with any more nonsense. That is exactly the spirit behind a lot of this movement. Not celebrity. Not performance. Not paid activism. Just regular Albertans deciding to do something real because they believe this can actually happen. And in the conversation I say exactly that: the reason so many people are out there, whether in Arizona heat or Alberta wind, is because we genuinely believe this can happen. That is a big part of why the Yuma story hit so hard online. It gave people a visible example of momentum. It showed that support is not confined to one town, one rally, or one demographic. It showed that even when Albertans are temporarily outside the province, they are still emotionally and politically invested enough to organize, collect signatures, and encourage others. That kind of behavior only happens when a movement starts to feel real. People do not go to that kind of effort for something they think is doomed. And yes, a few naysayers tried to mock it or imply there was something improper about collecting signatures outside Canada. But that criticism mostly reveals how weak and short-sighted the opposition is. An Albertan with Alberta identification is still an Albertan wherever he or she happens to be standing. There is nothing absurd about that. In fact, it would be absurd to suggest that Albertans somehow lose their political rights the moment they cross a border for a holiday. The mockery never really landed because it was rooted more in reflexive sneering than in serious thought. What the Yuma story really symbolizes is critical mass. When people start setting up pop-up canvassing events not just in Alberta but around the world, it means the movement is no longer surviving on theory alone. It means people feel momentum. It means they want to be part of it. It means they can picture success. And that encouragement matters, because political movements grow when ordinary people start seeing visible signs that victory is possible. That is why this was such an important little segment. It was not just about Yuma. It was about proof that Alberta independence is spreading, normalizing, and becoming something more and more people believe can actually be done.

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:

Today outside MP Matt Jeneroux’s office (Matt Jeneroux), I witnessed something that feels bigger than a protest — it felt like the early stages of a democratic turning point. Albertans showed up in large numbers to sign an independence petition, and the energy was hopeful, determined, and remarkably grounded. The people I spoke with weren’t political insiders or activists chasing attention. They were volunteers — salt-of-the-earth Albertans. Mothers and grandmothers thinking about their grandkids’ future. Ordinary people who work hard, pay taxes, and simply want a province where their efforts lead to opportunity and stability. Many told me they feel deeply betrayed — not just by one MP switching sides, but by a federal system they believe no longer listens to Alberta at all. Over and over, I heard the same sentiment: their vote federally never seems to change outcomes. For them, independence isn’t driven by anger as much as by a desire for a positive future and meaningful democratic participation. A major part of our conversations focused on what a “clear majority” really means. Canada never defines it, yet democracy has always operated on majority rule. In my recent poll, about 70% of respondents said 50% plus one is enough. History supports that view — Newfoundland joined Canada in 1949 with just 52% of the vote. If that was accepted as legitimate consent to join a country, then it is entirely reasonable that a similar majority represents legitimate consent to leave one. At its heart, this movement is about consent to be governed. Governments only hold authority because people agree to it. Many Albertans now believe that agreement has been stretched beyond recognition — and independence is being discussed as a peaceful, democratic way to renew that consent. What struck me most was the optimism. People weren’t talking about tearing something down; they were talking about building something better. Several volunteers told me this could be the first time in Canadian history where an Albertan’s vote truly decides Alberta’s future — where their voice actually counts. It’s impossible to ignore what’s happening: regular people are stepping forward, organizing peacefully, and choosing to believe that Alberta can chart its own path.

Another strong conversation in Red Deer was with a supporter who put his finger on something important: for a lot of Albertans, this is no longer mainly about oil or even economics. It is about freedom, rights, and whether Alberta still has a future inside a country that no longer feels like the one people grew up loving. He says it directly: this is not the Canada he fell in love with, and more and more people feel the same way. What makes this exchange significant is that it shows how the movement is maturing. It starts with the visible size of the line, the honking, and the energy on the street, but very quickly the conversation goes deeper. He argues that if people really understood what Ottawa is doing, they would be all over this. That is a revealing point because it frames Alberta independence not as some fringe impulse, but as a conclusion people arrive at once they stop assuming Canada still operates on the values it claims to stand for. We then get into one of the deepest issues of all: rights. He makes the argument that Canadians are taught to think they have rights, but in practice many of those rights function more like privileges that can be overridden. I respond by pointing to the first clause of the Charter and the broader constitutional problem that Canadians often speak as if they have American-style guarantees when they do not. That matters because once people conclude their freedoms are conditional, they stop thinking only in economic terms and start thinking civilizationally. What kind of country do we actually live in, and what kind of country do we want to build? He also makes a crucial point when he says this has gone way beyond oil and pipelines. He brings up unfair representation, the treatment of Alberta, and the feeling that the system has never really been fair to this province, only now it is being said openly and to our faces. That is one of the reasons the independence argument is broadening. It is no longer just resource frustration. It is about political dignity, democratic legitimacy, and whether Alberta is treated as a partner or as a region to be used. And the ending says a lot too. He brings it back to the kids, to affordability, to family formation, and to the people who are hurting the most. That is the deeper moral force behind this movement. For many supporters, Alberta independence is not mainly about anger. It is about creating a future where the next generation can still afford a home, raise a family, and live with real freedom and real opportunity.

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.

Alberta just opened the door to separation—and we’re done getting screwed Let me (Sheila Gunn Reid) be clear: This isn’t a meme. It’s not wishful thinking. This is a legal path to independence. And it just became achievable. Mark Carney is Prime Minister. Ontario, Quebec, and Atlantic Canada handed him a majority. The West? Irrelevant again. We’ve been here before—forced into policies we didn’t vote for, led by a man we didn’t elect, governed by people who think Alberta exists to be taxed, scolded, and shut down. But this time, Alberta did something different. Because the very next day, Danielle Smith’s government introduced a bill that could change everything. Buried in Alberta's Election Statutes Amendment Act, 2025 is a change that makes it possible—finally—for regular Albertans to trigger a binding referendum on separation. The Citizen Initiative Act has been in the books for years. But it was a fraud. It required 600,000 signatures in 90 days—20% of all eligible voters. That’s not a citizen petition. That’s a brick wall. But now? Smith’s government just cut the threshold in half, and changed the calculation to 10% of voters from the last election. According to constitutional lawyer Keith Wilson, that’s fewer than 200,000 signatures. Let me be clear: This isn’t a meme. It’s not wishful thinking. This is a legal path to independence. And it just became achievable. This isn’t about bluster—it’s about options. It’s about leverage. It’s about Alberta saying: we’re done getting screwed. And that’s why we’re launching It’s where you can support fair-minded journalism on Western alienation and the growing push for real autonomy—or even independence. It’s where you’ll find honest reporting that the Laurentian press won’t touch. It’s where you can say: we’ve had enough. We’re not here to blow smoke. We’re here to tell the truth. Because the next time Ottawa tries to grab our guns, kill our industries, or ram through their globalist vision—we’ll remind them of one number: 177,000. That’s all it takes now. And the West? We’re done getting screwed. And we are not going to tell people who want out, 1/3 in the West, to shut up. They are not fringe, not radical. They are bigger than those who vote for the NDP and Carney in the West. And you ignore them at your peril. Go to to learn more, buy your Western First merch and support our journalism.

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.

A few days ago Kathy Flett (insert Alberta flag here) and I had a woman walk up to us in the park and tell us she disagreed with Alberta independence. To be clear, I was already obviously recording our conversation with a LARGE camera. She said she didn’t want to be recorded, but then continued engaging in the conversation while the camera was still there. My position is simple: if you keep talking to someone who is clearly recording in a public place, that is consent enough for me. And in public, consent to record is not required anyway. It’s just a polite thing to ask or respect when possible. That said, I still blurred her identifiable features and even adjusted her voice because I’m not trying to embarrass anyone. I’m trying to have real conversations with Albertans. She talked about immigrating to Canada from Ireland as a child, how her family chose Canada because of Canadian values, and how she worries Alberta is moving away from things like a social safety net, education, professions, and liberal democracy. I don’t agree with her conclusion, but I do think the conversation revealed something important. A lot of people who oppose Alberta independence are angry at the Alberta government. Fair enough. So am I on many issues. But my answer is not to cling harder to a broken Canadian system. My answer is to ask whether the system itself is the problem. If both Ottawa and Edmonton keep failing people, then the answer isn’t more of the same. Alberta Independence is about the power to build something better.

One of the most significant conversations I had in Red Deer was not with a longtime political activist, a public figure, or someone who lives and breathes this stuff every day. It was with ordinary Albertans who told me they had never really been involved in politics before. They said they had never canvassed. Never stepped forward publicly like this. Never imagined they would be out on the side of the road waving flags and speaking openly about Alberta independence. And yet there they were. That matters. It matters because movements do not become real when the loudest voices get louder. They become real when regular people, people who used to stay out of politics entirely, start feeling that the situation has become too important to ignore. That is what I think this moment represents. These were not people looking for a hobby or some political tribe to join. They were people who felt that Alberta may be staring at a rare window of opportunity, and that if we let it slip through our fingers, we may never get another one like it again. That is a very different kind of energy. It is one thing for committed independence supporters to keep making the case year after year. It is another thing entirely when people who were never engaged before begin to say: This is our chance. We cannot waste it. We may not get another one. That tells me the movement is moving beyond its old boundaries. It also helps explain why this issue hits so deeply for so many families. A lot of these people are not motivated by abstract theory. They are thinking about their kids, their grandkids, their cost of living, their ability to build a future here, and whether Alberta will remain a place where ordinary people can still prosper and live with a sense of freedom and dignity. When people like that start showing up, it means the issue has become personal. And once something becomes personal, it gets much harder for the political class to dismiss it as fringe. That may be the deeper significance of what is happening. The independence movement is no longer just being carried by the usual voices. It is pulling in people who had almost given up on politics entirely. People who had tuned out. People who thought nothing would ever change. People who are now saying that maybe this is the moment when Albertans finally have to stop waiting for Ottawa to fix things and start taking responsibility for their own future. Agree or disagree with them, that is not something to laugh off. That is a sign of a population beginning to wake up. And when ordinary people start believing that this may be their last real chance to change the direction of their province, that is when movements become powerful. That is when they stop being theoretical. That is when they become hard to ignore.

Today, I’m proud to share that I’ve officially joined The College for Advance UK. This is not just a political move—it’s a deeply personal one. After years of fighting for justice, accountability, and truth, I’ve finally found a space that reflects those same values at its core. Advance UK is a new kind of party—built from the ground up, not top down. At the heart of it is The College, a powerful and independent body that gives real people a real say in shaping the future of this country. As a College member, I’m part of a team that: — Elects the party Leader — Helps shape national policy — Selects candidates with integrity — And holds leadership accountable through democratic processes The application process to join was robust, independent, and honest—something I was truly grateful for. It confirmed everything I hoped was true about this movement: that it walks its talk. This isn’t about party politics. It’s about principle. It’s about people. It’s about building a fairer, freer, more united Britain—where your voice matters, your rights are protected, and truth is not negotiable. For those of you who have followed my journey—through law, advocacy, motherhood, and reform—you’ll know this isn’t a decision I take lightly. This is the beginning of something that finally reflects what I’ve always fought for. I’m honoured to serve. And I’m ready to do the work. The future doesn’t belong to the powerful. It belongs to the people. Let’s move forward—TOGETHER. #advanceuk Advance UK #forthefuture
