@FrontlinesTPUSA @JackPosobiec This has been the prevailing attitude of the east towards Alberta for over 120 years. They view us as a resource colony to be exploited for their own gain. Time to divorce the abusers in the East.

@FrontlinesTPUSA It's about being nothing more than a colony of Ontario and Quebec.

And we're done with it.

CTV brought up the Calgary Chamber’s warning that Alberta independence would scare away investment.

Keith Wilson flipped it instantly.

Investment is already leaving because Ottawa has made Canada hostile to development.

Alberta independence is not the risk.

Ottawa is.

In 1911, only 6 years after becoming a province, Saskatchewan asked for a portion of the District of Keewatin (a large portion of the Northwest Territories) which would have given them access to the Hudson Bay.
When Alberta and Saskatchewan were made provinces, the Dominion of Canada took away a portion of what should have been Saskatchewan's land by retaining a small Eastern portion which today includes the Swan River, The Pas and Flon Flon areas of Manitoba. This portion of land essentially included a major canoe route via the Swan River through to Swan Lake to Pelican Rapids to Grand Rapids to the Hudson Bay. Both Alberta and Saskatchewan had made demands when the provinces were created to have access to tidewater but neither of these demands were listened to in 1905, leaving both provinces the only provinces without access to tidewater.

In the first decade of the 1900s, the Dominion government began plans to portion out what remained of the Northwest Territories, with the intent to divide the land up between all the provinces. Quebec received a huge portion of the Ungava District (today Northern Quebec), while Ontario received a large portion of the Keewatin District surrounding Hudson Bay, including the coveted James Bay area.

There had been a decades-long dispute between Ontario and Manitoba over the Rat Portage (Kenora) District which would have given them access to a port on Lake Superior, which had ended with a decision by the British Privy Council. As a consolation prize, a portion of Keewatin (today Northern Manitoba) was given to Manitoba, along with the Swan River portion that should have stayed with Saskatchewan. Manitoba was given no access to the Great Lakes. Attempts by Manitoba to build a railway from Manitoba down through the states were blocked continuously by the Canadian government which wanted all trade to go through Toronto and Montreal.

Alberta and Saskatchewan had requested that the Mackenzie portion of the Northwest Territories be divided between them but Ontario and Quebec also wanted what remained of the Territories for their own provinces. The Dominion government decided to keep the Territories a Dominion holding instead. Following the creation of Alberta and Saskatchewan, the Northwest Territories did not actually get their own elected government again until 1975.

Rededication of our Country is biblical, straight out of the bible. Happened 3 or 4 times. Holiness for America will come from this our rededication.

The media seems to be downplaying the huge achievement of the US China summit. This is a good quick overview of breakthroughs.

Excellent summary of the implications of the US/China summit. Significant for Hormuz crisis, economics, trade and bilateral relations.

Mark Carney is quaint.

He thinks the rest of the world cares about sustainable energy.

But they don't. From China to the USA, the big powers care about being strong and prosperous.

The only ones who still cling to sustainable energy are green grifters and WEF bureaucrats.

Clarification of the limited role the courts can play in blocking a referendum petition. Their role begins when rights are actually being infringed upon. Anything prior to that is political interference.

“And that, more than any petition, is how independence movements grow.”

Clearly this mistake will come to haunt the Federalist position.

An excellent historical summary of events leading to Western alienation. Well worth taking the time to watch and understand.

[Fact Checker of Last Resort @elndito]

@Pagmenzies People need to watch this. I’ve lived my entire life in Western Canada and even then I didn’t realize how bad the divide and disrespect is between Eastern Canada and the West.

Kudos to Aron Gunn for making this documentary.

From 1938: "If there is to be a united Canada, it rests with whatever government is in power in Ottawa today. Unquestionably there are grievances in the prairie provinces that must be solved if there is to be contentment with our place within the Confederation."

It's always remarkable to me seeing words like these from so many years ago which could apply to the present day. If I had said "From 2026", you wouldn't have thought anything was amiss. The fact that it has been 88 years since these words were written really should make the situation depressingly obvious--the prairie provinces have been putting up with being unhappy in Confederation for far too many years.

We have been saying time and again that the system which is in place in Canada does not work well for us in the prairies. We do not feel like we are treated like equal partners in Confederation and we have much evidence to show that we are justified in our feelings. Even now, when we talk about leaving the Canadian Confederation, there are no significant attempts by the powers-who-be in Ottawa to address those grievances. Instead, we get called traitors, along with various other insults, and are told that we are being ridiculous. Is that the way to keep us? Definitely not.

[Rise Of Alberta @RiseOfAlberta]

HUGE: The House of Commons just confirmed it.

An Alberta independence referendum does not need 60% or 66%.

The threshold is 50% + 1.

A clear majority is enough to change everything.

A good summary!

"Will we learn from history and face the fact that unless the West is willing to walk away from Confederation, that we are just signing up for more years of Liberal madness?

Even if the Conservatives win an election one of these times, how long will they get, and what can they possibly get accomplished with a stacked Senate, stacked judiciary and stacked Civil Service, before the Liberals come roaring back? It's time to wake up and smell reality--we can't change this country, can we?"

Imagine having a political leader seriously suggesting we abandon trade with the largest economy in the world--our closest neighbour, lowest-cost partner, and biggest customer.

Canada sends ~75% of its exports to the U.S.
For Alberta it's closer to ~85–90%.

That’s not a minor relationship you can “pivot” away from overnight--it’s the backbone of our economy.

You don’t strengthen a country by picking fights with your primary customer. You don’t create jobs by making it harder to sell what we produce.

Albertans understand this. We rely on access to U.S. markets, and we have no interest in reckless strategies that gamble with our livelihoods.

Strong countries don’t act out of impulse. They act in their economic self-interest. That’s what an independent Alberta will do. Vote yes on Oct. 19. #AlbertaIndependence
