1. We don't have free access to the Canadian market
2. The Canadian dollar is shit these days
3. We don't have pipeline access across provinces
4. We pay more for those shared programs than we get back
5. Our military is decrepit and woke
6. We are also born-in-Canada citizens
7. The cost of staying is greater than leaving. We won't trade liberty for safety
8. Our trade deals are falling apart
9. The courts and Liberal appointed judges are letting bad guys walk to protect their immigration status. We have no say in their appointment.
10. We are different, culturally, and we want to protect that. Our families won't stop being family if we leave.

Try harder, Dimitris. This was bad.

[Shane Wenzel @ShaneWenzel]

Look, I’ve been reading some of these hot takes about Danielle Smith and the whole "separatist fire" narrative, and honestly? It’s a bit rich. People like @kinsellawarren in their ivory towers love to talk about "dangerous rhetoric," but out here in the real world, where we’re actually building things, creating jobs, and trying to keep the lights on, it looks a lot different.

Calling this a "fire" implies something accidental or that Smith is just out there with a match for the fun of it. That’s just not true. If there’s heat, it’s because the federal government has been turning up the temperature on Alberta for years. When you keep squeezing the province that’s supposed to be the engine of the country, don’t act surprised when people start looking for the emergency exit.

And let’s talk about this obsession with labelling everything "radical." Since when is giving people a voice a bad thing? Whether you’re talking about the Alberta Sovereignty Act or simply pushing back on federal overreach, it’s not about burning the house down. It’s about standing up for the people who pay the bills. If you’re a builder, you know that when the foundation is cracked, you fix it; you don’t just pretend the house is fine because you don’t like the sound of the drilling.

The media likes to paint this as some fringe movement, but you talk to everyday folks at the job site or the grocery store, and they’re tired of being ignored. Smith isn’t creating these feelings; she’s just not afraid to acknowledge them. That’s what leadership looks like to a lot of us. It’s not about separation for the sake of it; it’s about making sure Alberta doesn't get left holding the bag while Ottawa keeps moving the goalposts.

At the end of the day, we just want a fair shake. Stop the fear-mongering, stop the condescending lectures from Down East, and start respecting the fact that Albertans are smart enough to decide their own future. That’s the real conversation we should be having.

@JackDan110 And every local coffee shop as well - yes it’s a bit more, but at least you are funding your neighbours..

@SheilaGunnReid And unbelievably uninformed…where do they get this stuff?!?

[Dennis Kalma @DennisKalma]

I am native Albertan, 70 years old and have gone from an ardent Canadian nationalist to an independence seeker.

Why?

Because I see no path to revamp the country, clean up its constitution, balance its electoral representation and fix the structural economic transfers embedded in the Charter.

I see no way for the Maritimes, Quebec, Ontario, the West and First Nations to ever come to agreement on the kind of fundamental changes necessary to "fix" Canada.

I see no interest from the rest of Canada to undo the horrid changes made by P. Trudeau that changed the highest power in the land from Parliament to the unelected courts.

So, more in sorrow than in anger, its time to leave.

Feel free to rebut my points as you see fit. To date, there has been nothing but fear-mongering in response, never concrete plans to actually fix Canada.

Very good article - worth the read:

MACLEOD: Danielle Smith put Alberta independence on the ballot — but stopped short of asking the real question https://t.co/ixgOVkyRHZ #

[Cory Morgan @CoryBMorgan]

A lot of things are in the air right now.

One certainty though is that if independence advocates focus on taking down Premier Smith rather than pursuing independence, we won't be seeing independence.

Though we may see Premier Nenshi in 2027

@MarioManelli_ Don’t let the door hit ya!

[Cory Morgan @CoryBMorgan]

If we have to grovel and negotiate just to develop our resources while accepting a punitive carbon tax in order to get a maybe on a pipeline approval in a year and a half, the system isn't worth participating in anymore.

[Cory Morgan @CoryBMorgan]

Germany moved from concept to production with an LNG terminal in 194 days.

Canada calls it a victory that a premier & the prime minister have agreed to possibly have construction of a pipeline approved within 17 months.

Canada is broken.

[Cory Morgan @CoryBMorgan]

Trudeau-appointed Justice Leonard didn't stop an independence referendum from coming.

And she gave a great example of one more thing we must escape from in the federal system.

Liberal, activist judges.
