This is a $3,269 check Alaska mailed to every man, woman, and child in the state. Not a tax refund. A dividend. From THEIR resource fund, protected in THEIR constitution β which they wrote, own, and can amend.
Alberta ships out a trillion in resources and gets a bill from Ottawa.
Alaskans voted for this. What are you waiting for Alberta? π’οΈ Oct 19th - Vote YES!! Start the process to Independence.

Letβs be honest for a second and ask ourselves: Why are billions of dollars in major private-sector investments choosing Alberta?
1. Data centres - Meta ($13B)
2. Energy - Shell ($22B)
3. Petrochemicals - Dow ($11B)
4. Power generation - Pembina-led project ($4.6B)
5. Hydrogen - Air Products ($4.6B)
6. Oil sands - IPC Blackrod ($855M)
7. Data centres - eStruxture ($750M)
8. Natural gas liquids - Pembina Pipeline ($570M)
9. Solar & battery storage - Northland Power ($500M)
10. Logistics & distribution - Dollarama ($450M)
These are just few to mention and all are from different industries, different investors but all here in Alberta.
I donβt think thatβs happening by accident.
For all the noise in politics, something bigger is happening beneath the headlines: investors with real capital are making long-term bets on Alberta. Clearly they see what many of us see.
βοΈ A young and growing population
βοΈ Abundant energy
βοΈ Entrepreneurial people
βοΈ Room to build
βοΈ And a province that deeply believes economic growth is something to welcome and NOT apologize for.
I know politics makes it easy to focus only on what is going wrong. But sometimes we should also stop and recognize when something is going right.
Premier Danielle Smith and her UCP government deserve real credit for fighting to keep Alberta competitive, open for investment, and confident about its future.
Behind every billion-dollar announcement are real people: a young person looking for their first good job. A tradesperson building a career. A newcomer trying to build a life. A small business hoping for its next customer. A family wondering whether their children will have opportunity close to home.
That is why economic growth matters. Not for the headline. But for the people behind it.
Alberta is not perfect. No place is. But something special is happening here and I think we should be proud of it.
The world is betting on Alberta. Maybe it is time we bet on ourselves too.
