The Alberta government’s proposal to the Feds for this pipeline
This pipeline will cost taxpayers upwards of about $44 billion, according to the Alberta government
The private company would only carry 10% of the costs

🎞️ Now playing in Alberta:
“Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases:
If it moves, tax it.
If it keeps moving, regulate it.
And if it stops moving, subsidize it.”
~ Late former United States President Ronald Reagan
🇺🇸 Happy Fourth!
Congratulations Alberta, you just bought yourselves a TransMountain-like pipeline.
If all goes well it will be operational by 2035, and will only cost $50 billion in taxpayer money.... money we don't have.
Let's run some very simple economics.
It will transport 1 million barrels per day, at a fee of $10/barrel. That means it will generate $10,000,000/day in revenue, which is $3.65 billion/year. But it will cost at least $1 billion/year to operate (power, labour, chemicals, maintenance, interest on the borrowed money, carbon tax, etc).
So the initial payout is $50 B divided by $2.65 B/yr. which is 18.8 years. Who wants to wait almost 20 years before they get a return on their investment?
The economics don't work because the regulations make the pipeline too expensive and risky. There was a time, lest than 15 years ago, when the private sector could have built this for $10 billion.
This is not a win. The real problems aren't being addressed, and this is making things worse.
📣Alberta government says this pipeline will cost between $35.2 billion & $43.7 billion
*Taxpayers are on the hook for this
Why is government blowing taxpayer money on a problem caused by government?
Just scrap carbon taxes & polices choking production

📢NEWS RELEASE:
Governments are blocking pipelines with carbon taxes & red tape & then wasting taxpayers’ money trying to get projects built
It’s unsustainable for taxpayers to keep subsidizing projects because governments are in the way
Huge cost to taxpayers + interest
https://t.co/YZSpwYJ6Dc
⁉️Ask the question:
“If the government stopped strangling a project with taxes & laws, would a private company pay for it?”
If YES:
Get government out of the way & let private sector pay
Oil companies WANT to sell oil
Government is the problem & taxpayers will pay the cost
Carney:
The Trans Mountain Corp will build the pipeline some day
Note: that’s the GOVERNMENT
Trans Mountain, the government, spent more than $30 billion of taxpayers money on what was supposed to be a $8 billion private company build on the last pipeline
Unbelievable
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Let Alberta Decide Raises Over $207,000 in Under Two Weeks as Albertans Rally Behind Independence Referendum Campaign
CALGARY, AB — July 2, 2026 — Let Alberta Decide, the registered third-party advertiser campaigning for a Yes vote on Option 2 in the October 19 referendum, announced today that it has raised more than $207,000 from over 1,260 individual contributions in less than two weeks since launch.
In its first reporting week, the campaign raised $122,107.95 from 771 contributions, which the campaign believes is the fastest and largest first-week fundraising total ever recorded by a third-party advertiser in an Alberta campaign. Momentum has continued into the second week, with more than $85,000 raised from an additional 489 contributions.
"These numbers tell a story that Ottawa doesn't want to hear," said Keith Wilson, K.C., lawyer and co-lead of Let Alberta Decide. "In less than two weeks, more than 1,200 Albertans reached into their own pockets to fund this campaign. That's not the fringe. That's mainstream Alberta saying it has had enough of a system that takes $20 billion more from this province every year than it gives back. Albertans are done waiting for fairness that never comes, and on October 19 they will finally have the chance to decide their own future."
"Every one of these donations comes from a family like mine," said Tanya Clemens, co-lead of Let Alberta Decide, a fifth-generation Alberta farmer, wife, mother, and former school teacher. "I look at my kids and I ask what kind of future we're handing them if nothing changes. The support we've seen these past two weeks tells me thousands of Alberta families are asking the same question. This movement is about hope. It's about building a future of freedom and prosperity for our kids and grandkids, right here at home."
The fundraising surge reflects growing concern among Albertans about the direction of the country and rising support for the independence movement heading into the fall referendum. Let Alberta Decide is campaigning for a Yes vote on Option 2 on October 19, 2026.

After listing some of the government-strangled pipelines that companies gave up on because the government stood in the way, Smith explains why taxpayers will now be on the hook:
“We want companies to know we are walking this path with them”
How much will this cost taxpayers?
@FreeAlbertaRob There’s no pipeline. And not only that, the issues Albertans have with Ottawa go far beyond infrastructure projects.
There’s still no relief on property rights, immigration issues, free speech infringements, or excessive taxation. A pipeline proposal makes none of that go away.
“Canada isn’t perfect.”
“Just work harder.”
How about no?
How about Albertans leave and build something new, something better?
How about we strive for perfection instead of settling for a mediocre, nepotistic, and corrupt status quo?
Why should Albertans settle for "that'll do"?
We are being held back from greatness by inferior men.
There are 7,500 tankers in the world moving oil every day without issue.
North America had a problem with one 40 years ago with a drunk captain and a single hull.
Let's quit pretending we need to ban tankers for environmental reasons
It's about ideology
Another politician who failed to resolve a single issue that Albertans have with Canada.
Let’s talk about one: Do we not even deserve fair representation? Why is a Quebec or Atlantic vote worth more than an Alberta one?
Why should a PM who serves the East pick senators to represent Alberta?
In farming terms, it’s been a 50 yr drought, it’s time to try something new.
