@ParkWardenVoice Do not conflate Alberta Independence with annexation by the US. Alberta will be an independent country with our sovereignty protected in our constitution. By Alberta and for Alberta.

[Astraea @Astraea_AB]

@WBrettWilson An Independent Alberta is our solution. Join us in building the best nation - by Alberta and for Alberta.

[Astraea @Astraea_AB]

@ChrisSchem85906 @KurtisSand77931 @ikwilson I didn’t know this! Fascinating and encouraging.

[Astraea @Astraea_AB]

@ikwilson @ABJeffBerube Excellent. Practical questions deserve practical answers. A transition plan is part of that work. Independence is not a leap with the details later. Albertans decide, then build a country that can keep continuity and write its own agreements.

[Astraea @Astraea_AB]

@albertaNDP This is inciting fear. Alberta’s sovereignty will be protected in our constitution. We are not going to trade Ottawa for Washington. We are building an Independent Alberta - by Alberta and for Alberta.

[Astraea @Astraea_AB]

@ABDanielleSmith Ottawa sets who arrives. Alberta pays for the schools and hospitals. A people who cannot set those terms do not govern themselves. That is one more reason Albertans are asking whether this arrangement called Confederation still serves them.

[Astraea @Astraea_AB]

@RiseOfAlberta Precisely, fear is not a plan. If Confederation still worked someone would make the case for it. We must draw the line and build the best nation Albertans can govern.

[Astraea @Astraea_AB]

@JasonGregor Alberta’s sovereignty will be protected in our constitution. We do not want Ottawa controlling our destiny and we don’t want Washington doing it either. By Alberta, for Alberta.

[Astraea @Astraea_AB]

@jkenney This suggests all trade deals are permanent. An independent Alberta will negotiate continuity then better terms. The trading isn’t one-sided. Alberta has energy, goods and food our trading partners want.

[Astraea @Astraea_AB]

@JonFromAlberta They call people traitors and then cannot say what they love about the country now. That is perhaps fear of losing a name (Canadian), not a case for Confederation. The productive question is still the same: what, exactly, is worth staying for?

[Astraea @Astraea_AB]

@ryangerritsen If the case for Canada were strong, the press would make it. Instead the story becomes that asking the question is hate. This just tries to make the act of asking shameful yet doesn’t answer why so many Albertans are asking.

[Astraea @Astraea_AB]

@JonFromAlberta Calling a lawful referendum “treason” tells you how fragile the remaining argument has become. Albertans are allowed to ask whether Confederation still serves them. A country sure of itself can bear that question.

[Astraea @Astraea_AB]

@jkenney A remark on a tape is not Alberta’s constitution. The constitution gets written by a convention and ratified by Albertans. Citizenship will be decided there.

[Astraea @Astraea_AB]

@AngelaUnspoken Very true. And now we must build with resolve the free and independent nation of Alberta.

[Astraea @Astraea_AB]

Fully agree that building is the path forward. Canada’s record runs the other way. Ottawa spends more each year and the country gets worse outcomes. Canadian voters have also shown this is not what they want. Hoping that pattern reverses is not a plan. Alberta can take the reins and build a nation for itself. The time is now.

[Astraea @Astraea_AB]

Kenney is right that Canada never built the pipes and ports Alberta needed, even after years of new trade papers. That record is why Albertans cannot treat more promises as a plan. An independent Alberta would negotiate its own market access. Other countries would have a reason to deal with Alberta because they want the product.

[Astraea @Astraea_AB]

@TheJasonPugh Kenney and Notley are defending the Canada they remember. Many Albertans loved that country too. The question is whether the Canada in front of us is still the Canada they remember. It is not. Campaigning together cannot resurrect a fallen nation. We must build the new Alberta.

[Astraea @Astraea_AB]

@AngelaUnspoken Premiers will campaign. That is politics. Our work is longer. We have to write our constitution, name the foundations, and build a country that can sustain our prosperity for posterity. Onward and upward.

[Astraea @Astraea_AB]

@miss_tanyac @LetABDecide Alberta’s position inside Canada is weak because Ottawa speaks for Alberta’s trade. Albertans strengthen that position when they understand the energy is theirs and the October 19th vote is how they stop Ottawa from using it as leverage.

[Astraea @Astraea_AB]

@WBrettWilson @ikwilson Alberta will be an independent and prosperous nation. It is the best path forward for posterity. Equalization is literally written in the Canadian constitution. It can’t be abolished without 7 of 10 provinces agreeing.
