Ask a federalist to provide reasons for Alberta to remain in Canada. They don’t have any. All we hear is an illogical and emotional plea for "unity" in a broken nation that ironically espouses diversity as its strength.🤦♂️
Nostalgia for a nation past and empty platitudes of hope don’t secure a brighter future for Alberta or Canada.
What from Canada’s floundering military, extreme over taxation, broken immigration system, ridiculous social engineering, media control, citizen censorship, ideological law enforcement, two-tier justice, and extreme wealth redistribution efforts benefits Albertans?
Here are some of my reasons why I support Alberta Independence:
👉Freedom of speech
👉Freedom of conscience
👉Right to carry arms
👉Immigration control
👉Gasoline ~$0.75/ltr
👉No more equalization payments, saving us >$30 billion/year
👉No wealth destroying Net-Zero policies and counterproductive federal regulations
👉Federal income tax becomes a flat 10% income tax rate
👉No carbon tax
👉No capital gains tax
👉No tax on home equity
👉No GST
👉No censorship
👉Free media
👉End institutional politicization of education
👉No ideological warfare against the family
👉Accountable and revamped judiciary
👉Accountability and transparency at every level of governance
👉A proud, strong, and effective military
👉Access to USD gives us increase in purchasing power by 30%
👉Our resources will no longer be politically landlocked
👉Better and more secure pension plan
👉Better health care based on public/private access
👉More freedom and hope for my children and grandchildren
👉Protection of life and the dignity inherent in it
👉 Increased support for the family, the building block of society
👉Canada Parks will become Alberta Parks and will be much better managed
👉Cheaper flights
👉Cheaper phone and telecommunications
👉Cheaper internet services
👉Improved consumer choice
👉A Constitutional Republic is superior to the archaic Parliamentary government.
👉Self determination rather than perpetuated and institutionalized colonization
👉Increased and fundamental respect for the rights of the individual
👉 Increased and fundamental respect for the principles of democracy
👏Alberta will be strong, free, and booming!
On Oct 19, vote for your future, vote for your freedom. Vote Option 2.
TO EVERYONE WHO WANTS TO “LEAD” THE ALBERTA INDEPENDENCE MOVEMENT
and
For all of the people that disagree with me and want me to shut up and go away I have this to say to you:
Everybody has their own constituency. There are literally hundreds of thousands of my fellow Albertans who agree with me including my views on how badly @ABDanielleSmith has abused our trust and has lost the moral authority to lead the UCP,
I will continue to speak to the people who agree with me and will continue to speak to the hundreds of thousands of Albertans I have been in contact with since I was involved in founding the Alberta Prosperity Project almost 5 years ago. I’ll be doing everything I can to encourage all of the people I’ve met over the last 5 years in Machine Shops, Equipment Barns, Community Halls, Churches, Rallies, Town Halls, Street Corners and gatherings to come out to vote. Vote to get rid of a dishonest UCP leader and vote to free Alberta from Canada.
I will do this to make sure that the hundreds of thousands of people who agree with me on these issues to help replace the untrustworthy federalist leader of the UCP. A leader who has taken common cause with Nenshi, Carney, Kenney, Poilievre and Lukaszuk against Alberta. We will ALSO work to turn out to vote on the duplicitous referendum to have a referendum question in the event that we don’t succeed in replacing Danielle Smith and get a real referendum question before October 19th.
My challenge to all of the putative independence leaders like @ikwilson , @CoryBMorgan, @BertaProudDad and others is to go find your own constituency and turn out your own voters. Dennis, Mitch and I along with the tens of thousands of APP volunteers have done our work and will do our work to turn out OUR voters. The challenge for you is to stop playing games, stop the back biting and whining over the views of thousands of UCP members on the moral failures of the leadership of the UCP and focus on identifying your own voters that we haven’t identified or spoken to yet.
You all want to lead so bad, stop all the posturing and positioning and do the work. Find the middle third voters you claim that Jeff Rath alienates. Promise them that Jeff Rath will never run for or accept political office, because I have no intention to do so. I’m not a wannabe Premier or MLA like many of my critics.
APP, Mitch and I will identify and deliver the 500,000 voters that we have identified so far and will build on our work.
The challenge for all of the non APP independence leaders is to use the TPAs they set up to collect money to identify and deliver 200,000 new voters each. If they do this we will win.
If they don’t. We won’t. It’s that simple. If we don’t win it will be they haven’t done THEIR work. We will determine once and for all who is a real leader as opposed to “controlled opposition”. If they are real leaders they will EACH identify and turn out 200,000 of their own new voters. If they don’t have real plans to do this as opposed to merely positioning themselves to lead the “transition” by poaching APP staff and volunteers they are not helping in a real or constructive way.
If the vote fails in October it will be because all of the Danielle Smith supporting “independence leaders” didn’t do THEIR work and identify and deliver all of the voters that they claim to speak to.
This won’t be on anybody involved with APP, Mitch or I. We’ve done our work. We will continue to do our work.
It’s time for all of the critics to put up or shut up. Do the work. Identify NEW voters. Stop backbiting and criticizing people who have more than earned the right to lead and to set the strategic direction of the movement.
Thank you for your attention to this message. God speed.
Best regards,

We can walk and chew bubblegum at the same time. DANIELLE SMITH NEEDS TO GO NOW!
Dani will do everything she can to kill independence. She has declared for Carney, Lukaszuk, Kenney and Nenshi. If you believe that even if we win she will give us a referendum before the 2027 Election you are dreaming.
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing (trusting Dani) over and over again and expecting a different result. She has lied to us and misled us ever since the bait and switch on the Sovereignty Act becoming the Sovereignty within a united Canada Act. Separatists elected her leader but Kenney has been using her as a hand puppet for years.
A new interim leader of the UCP before October can kill the stupid question to have a question and all the other dumb questions and have a referendum on one question.
DO YOU AGREE THAT ALBERTA SHALL CEASE TO BE A PROVINCE IN CANADA TO BECOME AN INDEPENDENT STATE?
Dear Premier Smith,
A referendum to have a referendum… after two justices told you, you could call Mitch Sylvestre’s question under Section 1 of the Referendum Act is hardly decisive or honest leadership.
On Thursday you lied to everyone in Alberta when you falsely claimed you couldn’t use either Lukaszuk’s question or Mitch’s question because of “the courts”. The courts in fact said the opposite.
Chief Alan Adam had his picture taken SIGNING the Lukaszuk petition. How would he oppose THAT question.
The simple fact is that you promised Mark Carney that there wouldn’t be a vote on independence this year. By stabbing 301,620 of YOUR VOTERS in the back you delivered on the promise as part of the package to sell out Alberta for a Chinese pipeline to Asia. No binary choice for Albertans as you promised. Only political sleight of hand.
You have lost the ability to refer to yourself as “Right Honourable” . You have lost the moral authority to lead the UCP.
Please resign.
Sincerely,
Jeffrey R.W. Rath

There’s nothing extreme about Albertans asking a simple question:
Should Alberta be governed by Albertans, or by politicians in Ottawa?
October 19 matters.
