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?show more

🚨 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

I think most people who are in favour of Alberta independence are actually proud Canadians. But they are not proud of what Canada has become. We want independence to preserve what Canada used to be. And we will do what it takes. If that means leaving what Canada is we will.

Howard Anglin "While the separatists don't have answers to most of the key questions about separation, I think there are a lot of people in central Canada and Ottawa that need to step up and give some answers to the questions Alberta has been asking." "The attitude from some in central Canada, the barely concealed contempt and sometimes the open open contempt for the Alberta economy and the way of life in Alberta is something that wouldn't be tolerated with any other province." "At the end of the day, the vast majority of Albertans love Alberta and they love Canada. I'm not sure a lot of people in Ottawa can say the same thing." Howard Anglin

This Filipino Albertan supports Alberta independence because he recognizes what is happening in Canada. He came here in 1994. He loved Canada. He raised the Canadian flag proudly. But now he says this is not the same country anymore. Government overreach. Fear of speaking openly. Rising costs. Politicians who take more and give less back to the people. Many immigrants came to Canada because they wanted freedom, opportunity, and honest government. When they start warning us that Canada is beginning to look like the places they left, we should listen. Alberta independence is about recognizing the direction Canada is going and choosing a better future before it is too late. I support Alberta independence.

Pierre Poilievre on Alberta separation and Alberta's treatment by Ottawa: "I'm against separation...the message to the government in Ottawa is you can't tell Alberta to pay up shut up. Albertans want to be a part of united Canada." Well balanced comments but I think people are discounting that too Albertans have heard it before and they don't want to waste any more time. Thoughts?

🚨 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.

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:

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.

Majority of UCP voters support independence: poll She says she is a federalist. She is not campaigning for Alberta to leave Canada — she's been clear about that. But she is also not turning around and attacking the people who are talking about it. That is not an accident. One look at the numbers and you'll understand why Premier Danielle Smith is walking this line the way she is. According to exclusive polling commissioned by Act For Alberta, and full disclosure, I am the point of contact for that third party advertiser, roughly 60% of United Conservative Party voters say they would vote to leave Canada. Not think about it. Not flirt with it. They would vote to leave. That is not fringe. That is the base. These are the people who built the party, who knocked on doors, who trusted conservative leadership to fight for Alberta. And that brings us to disgraced former UCP premier Jason Kenney, Smith's predecessor. Because he chose a very different path. He calls separatists names. He mocks them as kooks and radicals and crazies, in vicious Trudeau-esque internet tirades. He derided the very people who worked so hard to get him elected in the first place. People who gave him a chance to do it his way. And what did that approach deliver? Nothing tangible. No meaningful reset with Ottawa. No shift in the relationship. No results that matched the promises. So what happened? Those same voters started looking elsewhere. Not because they suddenly changed who they were, not because they are no longer Conservatives, but because they felt ignored, dismissed, and taken for granted. The old ways of strongly worded letters and lawsuits over jurisdiction have never worked. There are no pipelines, no control over immigration, no civil liberties the feds wouldn't crush if given a chance. Smith is not making that mistake. She is reading the room, and when this many people are this frustrated, you do not lecture them. You do not insult them. You do not pretend they are a problem to be managed or berated. You listen. You acknowledge where they are at, and you let the conversation happen. This is bigger than separation. This is about trust. Trust that Alberta’s concerns are being taken seriously. Trust that political leaders are actually hearing the people who put them in power. Smith holds her position. She says she believes Alberta is better off in Canada. But she is not trying to shut down the people who disagree. She is not attacking her own base, because she understands something her predecessor did not. You do not keep support by ridiculing the people who gave it to you. You respect them, let them speak, and you deal with reality as it is, not as you wish it would be. REPORT by Sheila Gunn Reid:

It's a new day in America. Could it be in Alberta as well? In Alberta, Danielle Smith's government, to her credit, is amending the Alberta Bill of Rights. That’s a good thing. But it needs to be right. We have a moment in which to push things in the correct direction. Our job is to be precise, careful and diligent about making sure that the changes that we get are real, and that they work, and that they mean what we need them to mean.

Carney warned Alberta about separation. Michelle Rempel Garner fired back with the part Ottawa keeps pretending not to understand. Alberta’s frustration did not appear out of nowhere. Ten years of Liberal policy stymied Alberta energy projects, cost jobs, weakened prosperity, and damaged Canada’s energy security. Now Carney wants to wag his finger? Rempel says he helped start an international banking alliance that shut down Alberta oil and gas. Then he turned around and used Brexit-style fear politics on Albertans. That is not unity. That is exactly how Ottawa made this worse. Some of the most patriotic Canadians in this country are frustrated Albertans. They know a strong Alberta means a strong Canada. But respect is not a speech. It is pipelines. It is repealing the bills that block investment. It is ending the gun grab. It is treating Alberta like part of the country, not a resource colony Ottawa lectures when convenient. Carney wants to talk about unity. Start with humility.

Carney warned Alberta about separation. Michelle Rempel Garner fired back with the part Ottawa keeps pretending not to understand. Alberta’s frustration did not appear out of nowhere.

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:

Alberta is the last stand for Canada. I’m not Albertan so personally, I would rather they stay in Canada because I understand the detrimental effects that this will have on the country. That being said, it might need to be done. Not just for Alberta - but for Canada. We might have to disassemble this whole thing so we can build something new. Nothing is working here. Our constitution, our judicial system, our parliamentary system….it’s time for a change. Maybe Alberta leaving is exactly what Canada needs to wake up.

In Stettler, I talked with a cattle rancher sitting in his pickup with his child. We had a frank conversation about Alberta independence, the United States, staying in Canada, and what kind of future he wants for his family. He told us he strongly supports Alberta independence and most of his friends do as well. He agreed to take an Alberta independence sign for his property. That matters. Because this movement grows one honest conversation at a time. One truck window at a time. One farm gate at a time. One highway property at a time. One Alberta flag at a time. If you live in rural Alberta, put up a sign. Put up an Alberta flag. Especially if your property is along a highway where thousands of people pass by and see it. But this needs to happen everywhere. Towns. Cities. Farms. Acreages. Suburbs. Main streets. Donate to Pathway to Independence so more signs can be printed. Volunteer to help hand them out. Get one for your own lawn. Signs and info: Cory Morgan Watch the full video: Alberta independence will not happen by accident. It will happen because ordinary Albertans decide to stand up publicly.

Alberta Premiere Danielle Smith explains why Alberta’s resources are so important for America and the world: Alberta has “170 billion barrels of proven reserves of oil… that’s 5 times the proven reserves in America as a whole. We have 200 trillion cubic feet of gas: proven reserves. That is essentially inexhaustible…. We are the largest exporter to the United States. We give them more of our product than Saudi Arabia, Mexico and Iraq combined.” This is precisely why an independent Alberta would be so successful, and why the anti-Alberta zealots in Ottawa hate us so very much. Don’t you think it’s time for Alberta to assert its independence? It’s our Alberta. It’s our choice.

Canadians used to be stereotyped as polite, tolerant, and willing to hear people out. That stereotype is gone inside the Forever Canada movement. When Alberta independence supporters go out and talk to people, we are constantly being sworn at, insulted, mocked, and threatened. And the thing is, we do not do it back. We keep having polite conversations. We keep putting up signs. We keep asking questions. We keep making a rational case for Alberta’s future. You would think people who want us to stay in Canada would try to persuade us with kindness, respect, and a better argument. Instead, they are determined to prove our point. If Canada is so worth staying in, why are so many of its loudest defenders so angry, intolerant, and hostile toward Albertans who simply want a democratic choice? That is not how you win people back. That is how you push them further away. I support Alberta independence.

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.

The West Wants Out: Alberta Edges Closer to Independence from Canada Canada’s most conservative province, Alberta, has grown increasingly frustrated with the federal government in Ottawa for decades. Now, the movement for greater autonomy—or even full independence—is gaining serious momentum. In this Frontlines TPUSA exclusive, reporters Tayler Hansen and Kian Simone head west to speak with the leaders of Alberta’s independence movement. They explore what a more independent Alberta could mean for America’s energy and national security. Turning Point USA

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.
