Treaty Chiefs in Alberta just asked the RCMP to criminally investigate Premier Danielle Smith for treason.
Her crime? Calling a referendum.
A perfectly legal & democratic act under provincial jurisdiction.
Smith’s response was measured: “I’ve had my differences with the federal government, but I have never used language like that. This kind of overwrought language has no place in a democracy.”
She’s right.
You can disagree with the referendum.
You can campaign against it.
You can vote against it.
But you cannot criminalize it.
The Premier asked the chiefs to check themselves.
She’s 100% right.
This type of behaviour should not be accepted by the elected or unelected in Canada.
One thing I keep noticing:
We're standing in the rain waving Alberta flags and talking to people.
Someone drives by, gets angry, swears at us, and tears off recklessly.
The interesting part isn't that he disagreed.
The interesting part is how quickly disagreement turned into rage.
If your political opponents peacefully waving flags makes you that angry, you're the problem.
FOREVER CANADA.
That’s the slogan. That’s the demand. That’s the emotional appeal.
But every time someone asks a simple question:
“What exactly am I getting in return for staying?”
The response i never an actual argument.
Albertans ask why we send tens of billions of dollars away while our own infrastructure struggles.
We ask why our energy industry is constantly targeted by policies designed by people thousands of kilometers away who neither understand nor depend on it.
We ask why our representation in national institutions seems perpetually weak compared to regions with fewer people and less economic contribution.
We ask why decisions that shape our future are increasingly made by bureaucracies, courts, agencies, and political classes that are culturally and economically disconnected from Alberta.
We ask why mass population growth continues despite housing shortages, strained healthcare, crowded schools, and declining affordability.
We ask why speech is increasingly censored, monitored, and categorized as hate speech while political activists openly demand even more restrictions.
We ask why the answer to every problem seems to be higher taxes, more debt, more bureaucracy, and less local control.
And what happens?
Do we get a serious discussion?
Do we get numbers?
Do we get evidence?
Do we get a vision for the future?
No.
We’re told we’re divisive.
We’re told we’re angry.
We’re told we’re extremists.
We’re told we’re American.
We’re told we’re Russian.
We’re told we’re Trump supporters.
We’re told to stop asking questions.
That should concern everyone.
Because if the argument for Canada is strong, it shouldn’t be threatened by questions.
A healthy political system welcomes scrutiny.
A confident country can explain itself.
A legitimate arrangement doesn’t need emotional blackmail to survive.
The longer I spend talking to ordinary Albertans, the more I hear the same thing:
“Nobody ever explains why this is supposed to be good for us.”
People are not questioning Canada because they’re hateful.
They’re questioning Canada because they’re thinking.
I support independence.
One thing I keep noticing at these events:
The organizing isn't coming from some giant political machine.
It's text messages.
Phone calls.
Friends talking to friends.
People inviting their neighbors.
Today, roughly 100 people stood outside in cold rain near the Sports Hall of Fame in Red Deer because we believed the conversation was important enough to show up.
That's what grassroots movements look like.
We are founding a Nation of Alberta!
We are back at the Calgary Court of Kings Bench for Day 2 of the certification hearing for @Carrie298924321
Ms. Chipiuk will make a few remarks to start off the day followed by submissions from Barry Benkendorf & Christine Ashcroft, lawyers for federal government.
🚨 BREAKING UPDATE: SUNDRE PRO RODEO PARADE CANCELLED
What started as a dispute over an Alberta-themed parade entry has now resulted in the cancellation of the entire 2026 Sundre Pro Rodeo Parade.
According to reports, organizers cited online harassment and safety concerns as the reason for cancelling the event. However, many Albertans are questioning the official narrative.
Here's what we know:
▪️ An Alberta pride/separation-themed float reportedly faced objections.
▪️ Public backlash followed after concerns were raised about the float's participation.
▪️ Organizers later reversed course and allowed the entry.
▪️ Days later, the entire parade was cancelled.
▪️ Organizers cited threats and online harassment as the reason.
Many Albertans are now asking:
❓ What specific threats were made?
❓ Were law enforcement agencies involved?
❓ Why cancel an entire community event instead of addressing the individuals responsible?
❓ Was the parade cancelled because of safety concerns, or because of political controversy?
The cancellation has sparked a wider debate about free expression, political viewpoints, and whether Alberta pride is being treated differently than other causes.
What do you think? Was cancelling the entire parade justified, or should the event have gone ahead as planned?
