“TRAITORS SHOULD BE HANGED.” That is what a Forever Canada counter-protester screeched at me at the Alberta Legislature today. She had been repeatedly screaming that Alberta independence supporters were “traitors,” so I walked over and asked the obvious question: What should happen to traitors? For a while she wouldn’t... answer. I got insults, swearing and a middle finger instead. Then she finally said it: “Traitors should be hanged.” Think about what is happening here. We are peacefully advocating for a democratic referendum. Canadians are legally free to advocate constitutional change, and the Supreme Court has already established a constitutional process that would follow a clear referendum mandate for secession. You can oppose Alberta independence. You can campaign against us. You can vote to remain Canadian. But advocating political change through speeches, signs, rallies and ballots does not make someone a traitor. And when someone repeatedly calls peaceful political opponents “traitors” and then says traitors should be hanged, I think people should hear exactly what was said. This rhetoric matters, especially when independence supporters have already reported hostility and dangerous behavior at public events. Watch the exchange yourself. If you support forever Canada, is this the Canada you want to be a part of?show more

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:

What would Canada have to do before you finally said: enough? This is my full conversation with a group of “Forever Canadians” at the Alberta independence rally outside the Alberta Legislature on August 29. Earlier I posted some of the most heated moments from this exchange. This is the complete conversation, and I think the most important part is actually a much deeper question: Is there a line that Canada could cross that would make you stop supporting it? One woman accused me of being a “traitor” who had turned against my homeland. So I tried to explain why. You can genuinely love something and still reach a point where you can no longer support it. I use the deliberately extreme example of discovering that your spouse was a serial killer. You might love that person, but eventually some actions cross a line that love cannot excuse. That is how I feel about Canada. One of my biggest concerns is freedom of expression. Canada’s Charter protects freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, but those freedoms are subject to limits that governments can attempt to justify under Section 1. Canada also has newly introduced criminal hate-speech laws (bill C9). That has crossed a line. So I turned the question around on myself: what could Canada do that might convince me to become a federalist again? A constitutional guarantee of inalienable free-speech protections would go a long way. If Canadians had rights that governments could not easily limit when political circumstances changed, I would seriously reconsider my position. And I also explain something independence supporters sometimes fail to emphasize: There are still things I love about Canada. One example is our safety culture and the value we place on protecting workers. Having worked and travelled to places where those standards are bad, I know that Canada has built many institutions worth preserving. Alberta independence does not require pretending everything Canada created was bad. My argument is that lines have been crossed and because of that I have given up on Canada. The nation is falling apart and is on a path to dystopia. Watch the entire conversation and answer the question for yourself: Is there anything Canada could do that would make you give up on it? And if you support Alberta independence, what could Canada realistically offer that might convince you to stay?

I was at a massive Pro Independence rally in Rocky Mountain House and there was a small counter protest (7 people). One of the Forever Canada guys said Alberta independence supporters should not be using the poppy. Even if a veteran supports Alberta independence, thats wrong in his eyes! If you're a veteran tell me what you think. I’m not in the military, so I’m not going to pretend I speak for them, but I have a strong suspicion many veterans would reject the idea that support for Alberta independence cancels out their right to wear a poppy. He also appealed to his grandfather fighting in the war for Canada. I treated that seriously, because I do respect that. But then I asked the obvious question: what did his grandfather actually fight for? That should have been the easiest answer in the world. He could have said freedom of speech, freedom of religion, basic liberty, self-government, or the rights that make a country worth defending. But the only real answer he could give was the freedom to survive here". That answer stuck with me, because it reveals something deeper than I think he meant to reveal. Too many pro-Canada arguments today sound like that. Not a vision of freedom. Not a belief in sovereignty. Not even a confident defence of rights. Just survival. That is the irony. The people accusing Alberta independence supporters of being dangerous often sound like they have given up on the very idea of living freely and building something better. They do not speak like people with a dream. They speak like people hanging on. Then, after all that, he pushed the claim that the UCP are “banning books.” That is incredibly disingenuous. The issue is sexually explicit material in school libraries. The facts are easy to find, and reducing that debate to “book banning” is a dishonest slogan designed to inflame people instead of inform them. And yes, I think defending that kind of material in schools is shameful. If that is the hill some pro-Canada activists want to die on, they should at least be honest about what they are defending. This whole exchange says a lot. Alberta independence supporters are constantly asked to explain what we are for, while Canada’s defenders too often fall back on emotional slogans, weak smears, and a vision of life that amounts to little more than survival. For us Albertans, this movement is about Freedom! We want a society that reflects our values and protects our rights and we have the will do make that happen. Please sign the petition! Go to: for a location near you! See the full video on YouTube:

In Sylvan Lake I spoke with an Iraqi Christian family who came to Canada in 2006 about what immigrants owe the country that welcomed them. Their answer was blunt: come here for a better life, obey Canadian law, work hard, care for your family and leave the conflicts of the old country behind. They told me newcomers should not come to Canada and then try to force the same politics, divisions or customs on everyone else. Canada gave their children safety and a future, and they believe immigrants have a duty to protect that. Then I told them I support Alberta independence. Their response surprised me: they support it too, and they have lawn signs in support of independence up! Support for Alberta independence is not limited to people whose families have lived here for generations. Immigrants who came here legally, worked hard and integrated can also see that Alberta is losing control over its culture, immigration and future. This is a powerful conversation. Listen to the end. Let me know what you think. Watch the 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.

Pierre Poilievre confirms he is against Alberta's independence and will fight for a united Canada; Q: As an Alberta MP, what action will you try to take to keep Alberta within Canada in the face of a referendum? A: I'm a strong Canadian federalist, a proud Albertan, and a proud Canadian. I want a strong Alberta within a united Canada. And all Conservative, all Conservatives will be campaigning for Canadian unity.

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.

This video captures something people need to see. I was having a polite conversation with a reasonable man who supports staying in Canada. We disagreed, but we were talking respectfully. Meanwhile, from way across the field, another Forever Canadian apparently spotted me and made a straight line toward me, visibly angry. I never saw him coming. I was recording over my shoulder, so the camera could see what I couldn’t. He approached quickly from directly behind me, and just before he reached me, a random bystander saw what was happening and stepped between us. I’m extremely grateful that he did. The man approaching me was shouting that I wasn’t allowed in the park, that this was “his park,” that I wasn’t allowed to be there, and that I was being disrespectful. The bystander stood his ground, exchanged a few choice words with him, and eventually got him turned around. Watching the footage afterward was unsettling. From my perspective, this man appeared to be approaching me aggressively from behind, and I had absolutely no idea he was there. There is something revealing about the contrast in this video. The man I was actually interviewing supports remaining in Canada, yet we were able to have a civil and reasonable disagreement. In many ways, reasonable centrists probably agree with Alberta independence supporters about a great deal—right up until the question of actually becoming independent. Then there is another faction: people who seem to treat peaceful advocacy for Alberta independence as something that makes us enemies. That attitude has consequences. People publicly supporting Alberta independence have already faced aggressive confrontations. We have seen supporters shoved, threatened, and in one particularly disturbing incident, an older man was pushed toward traffic and could have been seriously hurt. I don’t go looking for confrontations. I would much rather talk to people. But I’m also not going to be intimidated out of peacefully expressing my political beliefs. And this is where the leadership of the Forever Canada movement needs to think very carefully about their rhetoric. When political leaders repeatedly throw around words like “traitor” and “treason” to describe Albertans participating in a peaceful, democratic and lawful political process, some unstable people are going to take those words literally. If you convince someone that his political opponent is genuinely a traitor, it becomes much easier for that person to convince himself that aggression is justified. That is an incredibly dangerous road to go down. Albertans advocating independence are operating within Canada’s legal and democratic system. We are talking, organizing, campaigning and trying to persuade our neighbors. That disagreement should be settled with arguments and ballots—not intimidation. The full conversation with the reasonable Forever Canadian I was speaking with will be released soon. But I wanted to publish this part first because people should see what happened behind me—and because I’m very grateful to the stranger who saw the situation developing and stepped in before I even knew what was happening.

They Called Me Racist at an Alberta Independence Rally At the Alberta Legislature on August 29, I approached a small group of apparent counter-protesters holding signs about treaty rights and openly calling out to people attending the Alberta independence rally. I wanted to hear what they believed. Instead, the conversation immediately turned hostile. I was sworn at, accused of racism, and told that because my ancestors came from Europe, I am not Indigenous to this land and am living on “stolen land.” So I tested the logic behind that argument. If ancestry determines who legitimately belongs on a piece of land, how should we think about large-scale migration into Europe from Africa and the Middle East? Their answer was that Europe deserves what is happening because Europeans have oppressed people around the world. That led to an obvious question: if ancestry determines who belongs in Canada, why wouldn’t the same principle apply to Europeans in Europe? The conversation didn’t get very far after that. What concerns me most is how casually the word “racist” is now thrown at people during political disagreements. Racism is a serious accusation and a genuinely serious problem. If we use the word for every disagreement involving identity, immigration, Indigenous issues or Alberta independence, the word loses its meaning. Watch the exchange and decide for yourself: was I asking a fair question?

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.

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.

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.

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.

I was having a friendly conversation with a Canadian citizen who immigrated from Chile 28 years ago. He does not support Alberta independence. He said he wants Canada to stay together. Then a local Red Deer man walked up, assumed we were both pro-independence, and started swearing at us. When I told him we were just having a friendly conversation, the Chilean Canadian asked him a simple question: Why do you think these people want to separate? His answer? “I don’t know.” Then he just kept swearing. That moment says a lot. A 28-year Canadian immigrant was willing to ask the question. He could see that something has changed. He had real concerns about mass immigration, integration, and how the system has changed since he came here. But the “Forever Canada” local didn’t want to ask anything. He didn’t want to understand. He didn’t want to listen. He just wanted to defend the idea of Canada he still has in his head. When I asked him about mass immigration, he brushed it off and said Canada is the best place to live. Apparently millions of other people agree, because they are all showing up here. That is the problem. Too many people are attached to what Canada used to be, while refusing to look honestly at what Canada is becoming. Full video: An Immigrant Told Me What Canadians Are Afraid to Say

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.

At the Forever Canada rally, a man started yelling at me about pipelines. His argument was basically: “Canada built you a pipeline, so you should be grateful.” But that completely misses the point. The Trans Mountain Expansion was originally estimated at about $5.4 billion. It eventually climbed to $34.2 billion after the Liberal government took over the project. That is not a success story. That is what happens when Ottawa delays, blocks, politicizes, nationalizes, and mismanages a project that the private sector was once prepared to build. Then another man walked up, told me I had my facts wrong, and when I asked him to explain, he just walked away. Forever Canada means, I'm right, its impossible for me to be wrong, and grrrrrrr... Albertans should be grateful that Ottawa eventually allowed a pipeline to exist after making it vastly more expensive than it needed to be. Do you still have hope for the future of Canada?

GOP Sen. Bill Cassidy says "there are not the votes" to pass the SAVE America Act, and he doesn't think it should be a priority: "Clearly, [Trump] wants the SAVE Act passed, so you can say that is a priority. What I think should be the priority is how do you make life more affordable for the American people...I can't tell you what his priorities are beyond the SAVE Act; I can tell you what I think they should be."

🚨PROOF: CBC’s Headline Misrepresented Premier Smith’s Position🚨 I’ve obtained the English version of what Premier Danielle Smith actually said in her Radio-Canada interview, and it confirms that CBC’s original headline was false. The Premier did not say she would campaign against Alberta sovereignty in the event of a referendum. Her answer in French matches exactly what she told me at the UCP AGM: She supports Alberta sovereignty within a united Canada, and she reiterated that position, nothing more. CBC has now quietly updated its article and added a correction stating the Premier did not specify which side she would take. In fact, the Premier also said Thomas Lukaszuk’s petition is a referendum on separation, not sovereignty within Canada. In addition, with the repealing of section 2(4) of the Citizens Initiative Act proposed yesterday, the Premier has opened the door for the Alberta Prosperity Project’s binding constitutional question: “Do you agree that the Province of Alberta shall become a Sovereign Country and cease to be a province in Canada?” Watch the clip yourself. The Premier’s words speak for themselves.

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.

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.

I'll spare you from watching the whole video - she was underage, wearing tight shorts and some guy took a video talking about it. She says she did nothing wrong - she's almost right. The thing she got wrong is expecting the world to be what it should be. Most problems can be traced to that today. People living in the world, angry it is not what they think it should be instead of recognizing it is what it is and you can ignore that and get bad outcomes, or recognize it and get better outcomes. It's really a choice between delusion and wisdom.
