The time is now, Alberta. This land, these people, this moment—your voice matters. Vote Option 2 on October 19. Don’t let this opportunity pass us by.

[Mario Zelaya @mario4thenorth]

The Fraser Institute just confirmed: Alberta is literally Canada's money piñata for federal finances.

-They contribute nearly 4x what BC has

-5X what Ontario has

-And Quebec, that has blocked Alberta's pipelines, attacked its energy industry, & called Albertans "extremists," has extracted $429.8 billion over the same period

For nearly 20 years, they carried the country, while another blocks pipelines & take more than the top 3 contributors.

UNLEASH ALBERTA & OUR ENERGY.

GET RID OF THE INDUSTRIAL CARBON TAX.

EXPEDITE ALL PERMITS.

NO MORE "GREEN" PROPOGANDA.

LET'S GET SERIOUS.

[Paul David Tripp @PaulTripp]

During my years as a biblical counselor, I met with hundreds of workaholics and the families they left in the dust.

These men and women were followers of Christ, members of a local church and readers of the Bible, but fundamentally dysfunctional when it came to their work. This shouldn't be surprising: because "the office" is such a significant dimension of our lives, it's very easy for our sin to infiltrate this environment. It impacts us in three common ways:

1. The office can make us feel able and competent.
2. In the office, even if it's over just one person or project, we get to flex our muscle and command co-workers and budgets.
3. Our culture paints the good life with lavishly furnished homes, luxury cars, overflowing wardrobes and flashy jewlery. If money is the key to unlocking those things, and the office is the doorway to money, no wonder we spend the majority of our time there!

Don't be afraid to be ambitious with your career; don't be afraid to take a role of authority at your workplace; don't feel guilty for enjoying comfort after a long day of work. But, don't look to those things for your identity. Live in awe of God and let that impact everything you think, say and do in the office.

Just IMAGINE believing this could come about via random "evolutionary" processes. It's lunacy. God made us. There's no other RATIONAL explanation.

🚨 'I want to warn you, Mr. Speaker… I may read today from a very dangerous book.'

That book? The Bible. A book the government now wants to treat as hate speech. Watch my full speech on Bill C-9 here. 👇

Etched into the very rock of Centre Block, just steps from the House of Commons, are more than two dozen Scriptures. Our national motto 'From Sea to Sea' comes straight from Psalms.

How can a nation literally carved from biblical truths now seek to criminalize those truths through Bill C-9?

In this full speech, I expose how the Liberals' Faustian bargain with the Bloc removes long-standing good-faith protections for sincere religious expression, ignores centuries of Western commitment to fearless speech, and replaces debate with 'just trust us.'

The antidote to hatred is not censorship. It is more speech. More truth. More freedom.

Freedom is the sure possession of those alone who have the courage to defend it. Will you defend it?

Keith Wilson on Glenn Beck: Alberta Independence Is a Culture Divorce

Alberta independence is not about rage.

It is about incompatibility.

We do not share the same values as modern Canada.

So why are we trapped in their system?

The Alberta independence movement is gaining momentum.

This video looks at what’s driving it, from Ottawa’s China signals to stalled pipelines and Alberta being treated like an afterthought.

People keep asking me how likely I think it is that the Independence movement will succeed in Alberta. The truth is, it isn't a matter of odds. It is a matter of work. If people put in the work to make it happen, it will happen. As sure as day follows night.

@Ken_Rosenthal @WillSammon @grok what does this articule say about the blue jays?

[Martin Pelletier @MPelletierCIO]

The problem is the numbers are huge to Alberta especially if they secured a trade and defence agreement with the US.

If Alberta retained all federal tax revenues currently collected within its borders—estimated at roughly $70 billion annually—it would immediately transform from a net contributor to Ottawa into a fiscal powerhouse. Today, Alberta sends about $14 billion more to the federal government than it receives back, so keeping those funds would allow the province to replace lost federal transfers, maintain existing programs, and still run a substantial surplus.

Combined with $3 billion in annual CPP savings from a younger population and lower contribution rates, Alberta would have room to materially cut personal
And corporate taxes, invest in infrastructure, and strengthen social programs without increasing debt.

A separate trade agreement with the United States would lock in Alberta’s largest market and eliminate the risk of tariffs or border frictions. The U.S. already buys the bulk of Alberta’s $124 billion in petroleum exports, which make up 91% of Canada’s oil exports and 60% of its natural gas output. Securing free trade would protect Alberta from the projected $20 billion annual GDP loss that even modest trade barriers could cause. It would also open the door to deeper integration with U.S. supply chains, attracting investment and creating a competitive advantage for Alberta’s energy, agriculture, and technology sectors.

Finally, a defense and security alliance with the U.S. would slash sovereignty costs by billions. Instead of spending $10 billion annually to build and maintain its own defense, border, and regulatory systems, Alberta could reduce those costs by up to 70%, freeing resources for economic development.

With a strong fiscal surplus, guaranteed market access, and lower structural costs, Alberta could position itself as one of North America’s most competitive jurisdiction combining energy wealth, tax flexibility, and strategic partnerships to drive growth and prosperity.

This is why I worry about this moving from a tail risk event into a full fledged constitutional crisis especially if Albertans see the numbers and it sways their vote. All kinds of impacts.

[Erik Thorvaldsson @erik_thorvalds]

Imagine if Alberta left Canada tomorrow.

Taxes would go down immediately.

The endless flood of immigration would end.

Leftists would flee to Toronto.

We’d instantly be more free.

Tariffs would end.

We’d see a better standard of living.

It would feel like Alberta again.

TRUTH ABOUT THE ALBERTA TEACHER’S STRIKE, BILL 2 - The not withstanding clause.

For all those losing their minds and shitting all over @DanielleSmith and the @Alberta_UCP , allow me to clear things up for you.
The @albertateachers is intentionally misleading you, teachers and the general public. They’re being dishonest. Here is the truth:

After 18 months of tough talks, the UCP agreed to two deals—the first was the September 2025 tentative agreement worth $2.6 billion for the ATA, but they rejected it and demanded an extra $2 billion. The UCP then offered enhanced mediation during the strike’s final days, which the ATA turned down. These were the biggest teacher pay hikes in 20 years. This became Canada’s longest education strike ever, with almost a full month of lost classes. The severe, lasting damage to students’ learning has clearly been reached. Passing legislation was the only real way to stop the strike. Bill 2 uses the notwithstanding clause to safeguard students’ education while still respecting teachers’ rights to bargain collectively.

Bill 2 does more than just stop the teachers’ strike across the province—it forces a new collective agreement into law. This deal runs from September 1, 2024, to August 31, 2028, and includes a 12% pay raise spread over four years, extra market-based boosts of up to 17% for 95% of teachers, hiring 3,000 additional teachers, and 1,500 educational assistants to shrink class sizes and improve support. These provisions come straight from the tentative deal that ATA leaders pushed to the government in September 2025.
The bill uses the notwithstanding clause to shield students’ learning while still honoring teachers’ bargaining rights. Crucially, it wraps up all teacher negotiations for this entire period—covering both central and local levels. Teacher bargaining is unlike any other workforce: it has two distinct stages, central and local, which means strikes or lockouts could happen twice in one negotiation cycle for the same contract term. The UCP can’t let students risk another strike restarting via local talks right after central ones end. This month-long walkout had gone too far, inflicting lasting damage and blocking students’ right to an education and the future they deserve. Kids belong back in classrooms, with teachers fully focused on helping them recover lost ground.
