Central Canadians need to pay attention and come up with solutions that work for Albertans, instead of pointing fingers and calling them and their Premier traitors to Canada. This is the first article that acknowledges how past attitudes and policies in Central Canada have led us to where we are today.
Albertans aren’t victims and we’re not quitters. Let’s build on the great Alberta we’ve all created by fixing the flaws not tearing down the house. Alberta’s best days are still ahead of us.
Albertans deserve to know exactly what some of the leading voices behind separation are advocating: mandatory military service, citizenship based on birthplace, and a vision of society that belongs in the past.
At a time when Calgary is attracting talent, investment, and opportunity from across Canada and around the world, the provincial referendum decision is giving oxygen to a movement that creates uncertainty, division, and risk.
Our city needs more homes, more jobs, more infrastructure, and stronger ties with the rest of Canada and the world. Instead, we're being dragged into a debate that threatens investment, undermines confidence, and distracts from the real challenges facing Albertans.
Calgary's future is as a growing, confident Canadian city. We must be focused on building that future, not legitimizing a movement that puts it at risk.
I’m a proud Canadian. I’m also a proud Albertan.
And I don’t think those two things are in conflict.
A lot of people are misunderstanding what Premier Danielle Smith is trying to do.
Whether you agree with her approach or not, I do not see this as pushing Albertans out of Canada. I see it as recognizing something many people have been feeling for years:
A large number of Albertans feel unheard, frustrated, and want a stronger voice in Confederation.
Ignoring that frustration does not make it disappear. Talking about it openly does.
I love Canada. I want Alberta to stay in Canada. But I also want an Alberta that is respected, heard, and treated as a full partner in building this country.
Canada is stronger when Alberta is strong. Both can be true.
Let’s keep this dialogue civil and respectful. At the end of the day, we have far more in common than differences.
Most people simply want fairness, opportunity, prosperity, and a future where our children and families can thrive.
Dear God. Two Alberta gentlemen debating what’s best for Alberta’s future without vitriol or demonization of each other. Well done @MichaelSolberg and @ikwilson
This is the Alberta way.
Incredibly proud of my friend, mentor, and old boss John Larsen for his efforts to narrate world history by a Canadian legend.
Watch for his book to hit shelves yall!

I can't ever see the words Wells Gray Provincial Park without thinking of this horrific crime. This man should be dead, not trying to talk his way out of prison. Sickening.
Seven dogs stolen from their owners have gone viral after escaping from an illegal transport truck and making their way home.
They traveled around 17 km together, led by a corgi across highways and fields, now safely back with their respective owners..🐶🐾🥺❤️
