Proud Albertan. A man has to know his limitations.

[Keith Wilson @ikwilson]

The message from Ottawa and B.C. is clear:

Alberta may reach world markets only if Alberta accepts carbon costs, CCS costs, taxpayer debt, tolls, royalties, and political conditions.

That is not partnership.

That is why Alberta can do better. Vote Option 2.

Option 2 is our last chance to save part of Canada. Call it disloyalty if you want, but it’s the same thought process that goes into amputating a gangrenous leg.

[Peter Clack @PeterDClack]

Earth is still bound to the Late Cenozoic Ice Age, and our planet's average global temperature still hovers around a very livable 15°C.

This is far below the world's long-term planetary average of 18°C to 24°C - seen throughout most of Earth's biological history. It makes the idea of a global warming crisis seem out of sync with reality.

Despite four decades of continuous climate alarmism, roughly 10% of the Earth's total land area remains permanently capped by glacial ice, which covers 15 million square kilometers (5.8 million square miles).

That is nearly a third of its extent during the peak of the Last Glacial Maximum (26,000 to 19,000 years ago), when continental ice sheets reached their historical zenith.

The Antarctic ice sheet remains the largest and thickest body of ice on the planet, extending up to 4.8 kilometers (about 3 miles) deep. It holds roughly 90% of global ice volume and accounts for 85% of total glacial land cover. Spanning 14 million square kilometers (5.4 million square miles), Antarctica alone makes up 8.3% of Earth's total land surface.

A basic geographical reality is often forgotten: land comprises a mere 28% of the planet's surface. All human cities, towns, and infrastructure combined occupy just 1% to 3% of that land (while deserts take up 33% and forests 31%).

We live on an ocean world, and waters cover 72% of the globe to an average depth of 2.3 miles.

Crucially, the oceans hold 86% of the global carbon reservoir and absorb over 90% of retained thermal energy. By contrast, the atmosphere holds a fraction of a percent of each. The oceans—not human industrial activity—serve as the true long-term regulatory engine for atmospheric carbon dioxide and global climate stability.

The current Quaternary Glaciation is part of an ice age cycle that began 34 million years ago with the thermal isolation and glaciation of Antarctica, later intensified by the closure of the Isthmus of Panama and orbital variations (Milankovitch cycles).

Carbon dioxide was not the driver of these immense shifts.

All of human civilisation, agriculture and technological progress has unfolded within a brief, warm respite: the Holocene interglacial period, which began just 11,700 years ago.

Yet for 40 years, the narrative has been dominated by a campaign driven by an unaccountable bureaucratic authority—the United Nations—pushing an agenda of global control.

The promised catastrophe of runaway, unprecedented warming never arrived.

@MarkJCarney Great job Stephen Harper. Too bad Carney caved and gave away the revenues that were to pay for it.

[Moose on the Loose @dsimieritsch]

Is it just a coincidence that Mark Carney is pushing to privatize Canadian airports, the exact move required to roll out the Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) that he and Brookfield are heavily invested in? (Infinium)

[Shuv Majumdar @shuvmajumdar]

What’s the plan, Prime Minister?

[Sheila Gunn Reid @SheilaGunnReid]

We just sent Elections Alberta a five-page demand letter, a ten-page formal legal complaint, and 226 pages of supporting evidence.

They must investigate Forever Canadian's campaign activities.

The world is burning less

Despite breathless climate reporting of ever-more fire

Total area burned across the world has declined over past 125 years

Reduced more than 25% over last two decades alone

Entirely uncontroversial, mostly because more people (humans don't want fire near their houses) and more agriculture (farmers don't want their crops on fire)

This is an excellent commentary by Stephen LeDrew regarding Carney.

“When it’s talking about getting serious work done, I think we may have a Prime Minister who doesn’t know politics, who thinks he’s running a bank, who has given all kinds of benefits to certain friends…he doesn’t have the character necessary to be a successful Prime Minister to lead this country out of the malaise that it’s been in since 2015”

[D.C.L. @abc123jjj]

I choose Alberta.

I choose Option 2.

[Rise Of Alberta @RiseOfAlberta]

Nothing has opened my eyes more than the Alberta independence movement.

In my view, it’s revealed the corruption embedded throughout our institutions.

Activist liberal appointed judges in our courts.

Elections Alberta.

The legacy media.

Public-sector unions.

The political establishment, on both the left and the right.

They may wear different colours.

But they’re all protecting the same system that’s robbing Albertans of their wealth and their future.

[Rebel News @RebelNewsOnline]

We filed a legal complaint demanding Elections Alberta investigate Forever Canadian!

Everyone can see the double standard: Elections Alberta only enforces the law against conservatives and people supporting independence. Law-breakers who oppose independence get a free pass.

It’s bad enough that one rogue judge, appointed by Justin Trudeau, single-handedly stopped the referendum by inventing a new Indigenous right. But now, to only enforce the law against the independence side? I can’t think of a faster way to undermine the public trust in elections.

Everyone’s talking about this double-standard. But no-one is doing anything about it!

Until now.

That's why today we're launching https://t.co/2QCJ7hkOaH with a legal demand letter to ask Elections Alberta to formally investigate Forever Canadian. And we need your help to do it.

Last week, Rebel News hired Chad Williamson, our most successful litigator, to go into battle one more time. Yesterday, he filed a formal complaint against Thomas Lukaszuk’s law-breaking campaign group, called Forever Canadian.

You really have to see it.

Because that’s what this is about: the “remain” side of the debate being able to cheat with impunity.

A number of well-meaning Albertans have already written complaints to Elections Alberta. You don’t need a law degree to see the double standard. But Chad just raised the stakes:— a five-page demand letter, a ten-page formal legal complaint, and 226 pages of supporting evidence.

That’s 241 pages of legal threats, with an “or else” at the end. If Elections Alberta doesn’t investigate this scandal in the next 30 days, we’re going to sue Elections Alberta — by seeking a “judicial review” of its conduct in the Court of King’s Bench.

It’s madness that Elections Alberta hasn’t done anything about this. Forever Canadian has actually registered as a “third party advertiser” with Elections Alberta. And it’s running a serious, well-funded campaign — a bus tour, offices in Edmonton and Calgary, rallies, and lots of professional signs.

Yet, according to its own public disclosure, it has raised exactly zero dollars.

I’ve seen this myself. On July 18 in Lethbridge, our pro-Alberta group happened to be in the exact same park as Forever Canadian, doing the same things — signs, flags, collecting donations. Only one of us is reporting that activity the way the law requires. Guess which one.

This is like a hockey game where the ref calls every hook and slash against one team and lets the other do whatever it wants. Nobody would call that fair. Why should a referendum on Alberta’s future face a lower standard?

Chad’s letter also documents how Elections Alberta hounded Rebel News before. Years ago, they investigated me over my book, Stop Notley — arguing that a book critical of the then-premier, sold during an election period, counted as unregistered political advertising. We fought it, and we’ve paid penalties before over technicalities like this. So we’re not asking for a free pass now. We’re asking for one-tier justice — the same rules, applied the same way, to everyone.

But our lawyer Chad doesn’t work for free, and 241 pages of legal work isn’t cheap. If you believe this referendum deserves equal enforcement, please go to https://t.co/2QCJ7hkOaH to help pay his bill.

Help us demand fairness — we deserve it, and so do you.

REPORT by @SheilaGunnReid:

[Keith Wilson @ikwilson]

Alberta law defines “referendum advertising” as:

“The transmission to the public by any means during the referendum advertising period of an advertising message that promotes or opposes a question in a referendum.”

Now consider the evidence.

Thomas Lukaszuk and Forever Canadian are conducting a provincewide campaign involving a branded bus tour, lawn signs, public events, flyers, canvassing, advertising, supporter recruitment and voter mobilization—all directed toward persuading Albertans to remain in Canada.

The actual ballot says:

“Option 1: Alberta should remain a province of Canada.”

Forever Canadian’s public campaign promotes the precise outcome stated in Option 1.

That meets the legal definition of referendum advertising—not approximately, but directly.

The law must be applied equally to both sides. @ElectionsAB

If Alberta oil gives Canada leverage against Washington, imagine the leverage it gives Alberta in negotiations with Canada.

Today they want to borrow our strongest economic card.

At the independence table, Alberta will hold it. https://t.co/6KggCRVc1E

Canada quietly signed the UN Cybercrime Convention last week. The problem: it isn't really a cybercrime treaty. It's a sweeping cross-border surveillance pact that places human rights at risk, which Canada once opposed and declined to sign nine months ago.
