Only the most radical of activists would look at all the suffering happening in Canada’s health system … pause … and conclude it must continue.
The latest pipeline announcements do not prove Canada is working for Alberta. They prove the opposite.
Ottawa would rather force a $70B taxpayer-funded “solution” wrapped in net-zero strings than remove the laws holding Alberta back.
Meanwhile, our campaign is building momentum: $225,000 raised, 1,000 Albertans registered for our sold-out Stampede Breakfast, lawn signs launching, large signs coming, and support growing across the province.
We can win this. Help us get there.

Jack Mintz identifies one of the most troubling parts of the West Coast pipeline deal.
B.C. may be allowed to charge Alberta oil a special royalty just to cross its territory.
So Alberta produces the resource, pays the carbon costs, funds the pipeline, and then pays B.C. for permission to reach markets.
Canada no longer works for Alberta.

A pipeline is not a victory if Ottawa first makes Alberta energy too expensive to produce, then asks taxpayers to borrow billions to fix the problem Ottawa created.
Alberta should not need permission to prosper.
Canada no longer works for Alberta. https://t.co/6KggCRVc1E
Alberta’s energy was not locked by geography.
It was not locked by lack of workers, capital, technology, or ambition.
It was locked and still is locked by Ottawa—through federal laws, delays, caps, taxes, tanker bans, and hostility to the industry that built this province.
Ottawa put the lock on. And Carney wants to trick you into thinking he is giving up the key. https://t.co/70SdJ6CVcj
The drain never stops.
Alberta’s wealth is being extracted in real time, climbing by about $634 every second.
That is money leaving Alberta families, workers, and businesses.
Send this to one Albertan who still thinks Ottawa is giving us a fair deal: https://t.co/WPS6rcMWrS
Tomorrow, Tanya Clemens and I will formally launch a new organization dedicated to supporting Alberta independence and winning the October referendum.
Alberta has waited long enough.
It’s time to get serious.
Will the Carney Liberals listen?
Of course not!
And when things go wrong will they take responsibility?
Never.
They never do. Instead they will blame Poilievre or big biz of climate change or Trump or whatever.
That is their go-to move.
And it works!
The reality is becoming impossible to ignore.
After nearly 10 years of disastrous government, voters in Eastern Canada looked at the damage and still chose more of it.
You cannot save a country that keeps voting for decline.
Alberta needs independence.
The moral case for Alberta independence begins with accountability.
Ottawa is too distant, too centralized and too comfortable with a political culture where insiders, consultants, lobbyists and favoured interests feed off federal spending with little consequence.
The worst corruption is not always what is illegal. It is what the system permits, rewards and normalizes.
Government should be close enough to the people that citizens can see it, judge it and hold it to account. Alberta should not be ruled from a capital thousands of kilometres away by a permanent political class we cannot meaningfully discipline.
Cutting out one vast, unaccountable layer of government is not just practical. It is moral.
The Fraser Institute just confirmed: Alberta is literally Canada's money piñata for federal finances.
-They contribute nearly 4x what BC has
-5X what Ontario has
-And Quebec, that has blocked Alberta's pipelines, attacked its energy industry, & called Albertans "extremists," has extracted $429.8 billion over the same period
For nearly 20 years, they carried the country, while another blocks pipelines & take more than the top 3 contributors.
UNLEASH ALBERTA & OUR ENERGY.
GET RID OF THE INDUSTRIAL CARBON TAX.
EXPEDITE ALL PERMITS.
NO MORE "GREEN" PROPOGANDA.
LET'S GET SERIOUS.
As the Liberals emerge from their Halifax retreat with sound bites, remember this quote from Scott Gilmore.
"If you want to predict what the Liberals will do, regardless of the issue, ask yourself this question: What's the smallest thing they can do, that will cost the least, commit them to nothing, achieve nothing, but will give partisan supporters the idea that they are serious and progressive?"
Every problem we have in Canada in 2024 was caused by the Liberals. Out of control immigration, high inflation, sky rocketing shelter costs, division, failing infrastructure, corrupt institutions, all of it.
They got us into this mess, and someone else will have to clean it up.
Gil McGowan is horseshit.
The Alberta Labour Federation is horseshit.
Ottawa Liberals are horseshit
The equalization program is horseshit
Communism is horseshit.
The Alberta NDP is horseshit.
Confederation is horseshit.
Some federalists argue that strong demand for Canadian energy means now isn't the time for separation, but they overlook the ongoing global demand for Alberta's energy post-independence. Removing Ottawa's barriers will make Alberta more profitable. RBC's recent study reveals Ottawa's policies have caused over $1 trillion of investment to leave Canada. Albertans and the world will benefit from our reliable energy products, blocked by Ottawa today.
