Today’s Court of Appeal decision does not change the Oct. 19 referendum question.
The Court has allowed Elections Alberta to verify the petition signatures, but it did not allow the citizen-initiative question to proceed to a referendum before the appeal.
The Oct. 19 vote remains in place.
Albertans will still be asked whether Alberta should remain in Canada or begin the legal process toward a binding referendum on independence.
If you want a strong Alberta within Canada, you should probably vote in favor of a referendum.
Not because it guarantees separation.
Because it creates leverage.
A stronger Alberta with more autonomy ultimately helps every province push back against the over-centralization of power in Ottawa.
Strong provinces make a strong Canada.
Today, I’m releasing never before seen intelligence revealing new evidence of past US government funding for more than 120 biolabs in over 30 countries, including Ukraine.
In support of President Trump‘s Executive Order to end federal funding of dangerous gain of function research around the world, and increase transparency and accountability, ODNI will continue working with partners across the Administration to identify where these labs are, what pathogens they contain, and what “research” is being conducted.

2025 / 2026 — Canada–Alberta Energy MOU / Industrial Carbon Pricing Deal — PM Mark Carney

Alberta Independence was never the problem, it's the only solution.
@TruthFringe Every institution that receives taxpayer funds should perpetually be audited. As independent citizens, audits happen almost regularily without cause.
🚨 They signed the letter saying they’d stay out of it…
Then turned around and gave out MILLIONS in bonuses anyway.
Not one inch of high-speed rail track has been laid.
This is the real Alto scandal.

Watch it. Share it if you’re done watching them play games with your money.

Canada is a textbook case of how bad policy turns a resource‑rich nation into a declining one: attack energy, overtax work, bury business in regulation, and then act surprised when growth stalls and separatism rises.
CARNEY’S $200 MILLION COVERUP JUST GOT A BANGER ANTHEM 🔥😂
MLS leases Crown land for $13,500/year… then Carney’s Liberals pay them $20 MILLION a year for a gravel pit with one tiny concrete pad.
Liberal insiders on the board.
Full lease still hidden.
Committee doors slammed shut.
East Coast kitchen-party satire at its finest.
🎶 Release the Lease 🎶
Watch till the end you’ll be singing it all day 👇

🚨Carney - The Eleven Year Plan🚨
I spent the last week lining Mark's every move in 30 documented steps since 2015.
No more doubts! It was never about saving the planet, and I have proof.
Watch the house of cards getting built step by step.
Let me know if you see it too!
Boom! John Ibbitson "Well, they are an angry people and they have every reason to be angry."
"From the time the provinces were founded, when Albertans, Saskatchewan, were not given the natural resources powers that other provinces had, to the latest regulation from Ottawa limiting the development of the oil sands for environmental or other reasons, Albertans have been put upon by a central Canadian elite, looks at them as something of a colony."
"And the result of that indifference and condescension from central Canada is this referendum on a referendum. We're responsible for that here in the center." @JohnIbbitson
