This may be one of the strongest cases for Alberta independence Keith Wilson has made yet.
What made it especially compelling was the Q&A, which starts around the 30-minute mark.
He wasn’t just speaking to supporters.
He was challenged by law professors, economists, former political leaders and other experienced voices on the practical, constitutional and economic questions around independence.
And his arguments held up under serious scrutiny.
This is worth watching in full and sharing with someone you think could benefit from seeing it.
Spin it however you want and invent as many agreements as you need to cover your tracks, but it doesn't change the ultimate insult to Canadian taxpayers:
Canada shouldered the entire $6.4 billion construction bill, and the U.S. is still not paying a single red cent for the bridge.

Roughly 75% of the containers unloaded at Vancouver and Prince Rupert—about 900,000 physical containers each year—are shipped east through Alberta, primarily by rail.
If B.C. demands a royalty on Alberta oil moving west, why should B.C. freight cross Alberta for free?
Fairness must work both ways.
Renee Merrifield with an excellent commentary on the situation in Canada.
Our Government, the media and the citizens have been so focused on blaming Trump for the issues in Canada when in reality he is the scapegoat of the very issues and decline that’s been happening in our Country for over a decade.

Just a reminder, Canada did not vote for this majority Government.
Whatever decisions they make are not the decisions of the majority of Canadians. This Government did not earn the right to decide what Bills should be passed, what laws should be written. They will use terminology like “Canadian’s want” “Canadian’s agree” “Canadian’s feel”
They do not speak for me. They do not speak for the majority. This Country has been co-opted by 5 people who ignored the will of the people who voted for them.
Democracy is an illusion in Canada. No one should be celebrating what happened this year.
Equalization takes money from the paycheques of hard-working Albertans and uses it to buy Liberal votes in Quebec and Eastern Canada.
In 2021, over 60% voted to end equalization. But Alberta learned the truth: you can’t vote your way out.
The only real way out is independence.
Funny how the left keeps calling Pierre Poilievre a fascist when he is the one arguing for less state control, lower taxes, freer speech, and fewer bureaucrats perched on everyone’s shoulders. That is not fascism. That is a smaller-government argument they happen to hate. They use “fascist” now the way a lazy mechanic uses duct tape. Everything gets the same fix, even when it clearly does not fit.
If anyone in this argument is closer to that political instinct, it is Mark Carney by a country mile. Not because he is marching around in jackboots, obviously. Modern authoritarianism does not usually arrive in costume. It arrives in a suit, with polished talking points, expert panels, managed narratives, and a moral sermon about why ordinary people need less choice and more guidance from their betters. That is Carney’s lane: centralized control, elite management, technocratic pressure, and virtue-packaged coercion. The state grows, the citizen shrinks, and somehow you are supposed to call that progress.
The modern left does not call people fascist because the label is accurate. They use it because it is emotionally useful. It saves them the trouble of arguing. Once they stick the label on Pierre Poilievre, they do not have to answer his points on taxes, housing, energy, inflation, censorship, or government bloat. They can just hiss “fascist” and hope the room stops thinking. It is not analysis. It is a panic button.
The irony is almost funny. The people yelling loudest about fascism are often the same ones cheering speech controls, digital monitoring, compelled conformity, ideological gatekeeping, and permanent expert supervision of public life. They oppose decentralization. They distrust dissent. They prefer managed outcomes to free choices. Then they point at the guy saying, “Let people keep more of their money and make more of their own decisions,” and call him the authoritarian. That is not serious politics. That is projection with better branding.
Words still matter. Fascism is not “someone I dislike with a sharp tone.” It is not a tax-cutting populist who talks about freedom too much for elite comfort. If you are going to use a word that heavy, at least have the decency to aim it in the right direction. Right now, the left is using it like confetti at a children’s party. Messy, hysterical, and thrown everywhere
The Notwithstanding Clause is integral to the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and an unassailable provincial constitutional right.
Alberta Premier Peter Lougheed insisted it be included to protect the autonomy of provinces to uphold the values and priorities of the people they represent from decisions of activist courts.
In Alberta, we have used it carefully and lawfully to stand up for the parental right to be involved in their children’s lives, to protect children so they can make important health decisions as adults, to ensure fairness in sport, and to keep students learning in the classroom.
We are extremely disappointed that Minister Sean Fraser would risk national unity and a foundational principle of our constitution by attempting to attack the use of the notwithstanding clause by sovereign provincial governments.
🚨If Donald Trump had even suggested shutting down national statistics, it would be a front-page global scandal for weeks. 📰
But under this Liberal government?
It’s just another Tuesday.
The media bias is glaring. 🇨🇦🚩

New Brunswick: The Irving Refinery in Saint John is not connected to Western Canadian pipelines, making it the largest importer of foreign crude oil in Canada.
Quebec: The Valero Refinery in Lévis and other distributors rely on a mix of foreign marine shipments and, to a lesser extent, Canadian crude, often imported via the US.
Ontario: Ontario is heavily dependent on imported refined products and crude oil from the United States, especially via the Enbridge Line 9 reversal.
Nova Scotia & Other Atlantic Provinces: These regions import refined petroleum products and some natural gas to meet consumer demand.
These provinces and the federal government obviously don’t believe in an independent Canada and don’t want us to be a successful country.
