Albertans deserve to know exactly what some of the leading voices behind separation are advocating: mandatory military service, citizenship based on birthplace, and a vision of society that belongs in the past.

At a time when Calgary is attracting talent, investment, and opportunity from across Canada and around the world, the provincial referendum decision is giving oxygen to a movement that creates uncertainty, division, and risk.

Our city needs more homes, more jobs, more infrastructure, and stronger ties with the rest of Canada and the world. Instead, we're being dragged into a debate that threatens investment, undermines confidence, and distracts from the real challenges facing Albertans.

Calgary's future is as a growing, confident Canadian city. We must be focused on building that future, not legitimizing a movement that puts it at risk.

If other referendums have taught us anything, it's this: the status quo cannot be the only alternative to exit. We need to build a solid case, not just for staying put, but for a stronger Alberta within a better Canada.

We need to lead. Not leave.

Rick, I offered you an interview on separatism. You passed. Instead, you’re out here cosplaying as Alberta’s bravest keyboard warrior while carrying water for one of the dumbest ideas in modern Alberta politics. The old Rick would’ve had the guts to ask the questions himself.

[Ancient Mariner @amariner2]

@nenshi @JanetEremenko This is how you stand up for Alberta to remain in Canada rather than the endless arm waving of the @albertaNDP.

It is 148 days until October 19, 2026 - referendum day in Alberta.

https://t.co/k0qBCWz9xW Please join "For Alberta, For Canada" and standing up for Canada.
As proud Albertans and proud Canadians, coming together is how we make a real difference. Action is needed now. #abpoli #cndpoli @ABDanielleSmith

[Ancient Mariner @amariner2]

Rather than stepping back to see what they could learn from the losses under @theJagmeetSingh and how they can forward their agenda, particularly in a minority government, @NDP decided to go “hold my beer”. #cdnpoli

[NDP @NDP]

The results are in! Congratulations to @avilewis, Leader of Canada's NDP.

After an exciting leadership race, we're fired up and ready for the important work ahead!

I joined this campaign because the Eastern Slopes are Alberta’s lifeline. Once they are destroyed, they may never fully recover.. Can you take 30 seconds to join me and send a letter to the Premier too? https://t.co/MupCRvjZlA #ableg #abpoli @ABDanielleSmith @Alberta_UCP

@DanWilliamsAB Please stop speaking for Calgarians. Get off your high horse and go chug another beer. Your artificial outrage is transparent and nauseating. #ableg #abpoli

@kim_tyers @JeromyYYC I would agree if the terms of review were the same as the review of AHS procurement processes.
If the UCP wanted to avoid “politics”, restart the AHS review and allow them to compel witnesses to appear and testify under oath. #ableg #abpoli

@ABDanielleSmith and @UCPCaucus just gave $48 million to oil sands companies while cutting income supplements to seniors and AISH recipients. Cuts for the vulnerable and handouts for the wealthy who fund the UCP. Maple MAGA is alive and well in Alberta. #abpoli #ableg

[Ancient Mariner @amariner2]

@PierrePoilievre travelling abroad is about as useful as @jamiljivani going to the US. No mandate and no clue. #cdnpoli

[Ancient Mariner @amariner2]

@JeromyYYC Are you going to advocate for a sovereign Calgary within a united Alberta so that we are no longer sending our money to a government who tries to limit our freedom with nine bad laws? #abpoli #cdnpoli @UCPCaucus

[Ancient Mariner @amariner2]

@UCPCaucus @ABDanielleSmith The @Alberta_UCP Feb 2026 newsletter is complete BULLSHIT! There is NO pipeline, not even a proposal, hospital wait times are still the same and teachers were legislated back to work without meeting their requests for help. #abpoli 2027!!

[Ancient Mariner @amariner2]

@trevortombe has a chart about what’s behind the Alberta forecast budget deficit, and it’s not just because of oil prices. @ABDanielleSmith @NateHornerAB #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

[Trevor Tombe @trevortombe]

Potentially useful context ahead of Alberta's budget. Spending has ratcheted up significantly in recent years (even adj. for prices and pop), even above govt's own targets.

[Ancient Mariner @amariner2]

@ABDanielleSmith I’m interested to hear your response. #ableg #abpoli

[Laura Babcock 🇨🇦 @LauraBabcock]

“Premier Smith please justify how 2 years ago you asked Trudeau to send more immigrants and you spent millions advertising around world and now that they’ve come to Alberta and are working hard you say all the problems are their fault!”

In the same way as Jason Kenney’s equalization referendum forced the federal government to reform equalization.

@lukin2006 @TheBreakdownAB And where did your family emigrate from? When are you leaving?

[Ancient Mariner @amariner2]

It's amazing to me that the CPC delegates supported a widely disliked leader who lost his own seat and refuses to change from being a smart-ass, arm-chair critic who never offers any solutions. Maple MAGA rears its ugly head. #CPCConvention #cdnpoli @CPC_HQ

[Ancient Mariner @amariner2]

A message for @ABDanielleSmith and @Alberta_UCP. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

[Jared Wesley @DrJaredWesley]

Alberta conservatives need to stand up to Smith and up for democracy. Now.
