So, I have run professional organizations with budgets in the hundreds of million dollars with thousands of employees....and you really think I can't manage a government department?

Have your read the Value of Freedom? I was principal author.....can you challenge its conclusions? Are you capable of writing a factual rebuttal?

We're developing a transition plans via a team of experts in their respective fields - do you really think that we aren't able to do such a thing?

That we're somehow not "up to the challenge"?

The very people who run the businesses who pay the taxes that employed you are the ones who are most disgusted with the state of things in Alberta.

And the citizens who once elected you are the ones collecting signatures and pursing campaigns.

You really think we can't progress an independent Alberta?

Do you have so little respect for citizens?

[Alberta Secession - Why? @cnm5000]

An Open Letter to Premier Danielle Smith,

The delivery of 301,620 verified signatures to Elections Alberta on Monday is not merely a bureaucratic milestone; it is a thunderous demand for self-determination that your government cannot ignore.

These names represent Albertans who stood in the freezing cold, IDs in hand, to ensure their voices were counted. They have met and nearly doubled the legal threshold required to bring the question of Alberta’s future to the ballot.

You gave your word that if the signatures were gathered, the question would be put to the people. Now is the time to honor that promise.

We are acutely aware of the legal maneuvers and injunctions seeking to silence this movement. However, the political authority of the Premier of Alberta is derived from the people, not from the delays of the court or the objections of interest groups.

The Referendum Act provides you with the clear power to place this question on the ballot for October 19. Any attempt to use judicial "pauses" as a shield to avoid this democratic duty will be seen as a betrayal of the very sovereignty you claim to defend.

This movement has done the hard work of democracy under the most grueling winter conditions. They have operated with transparency, verifying every participant to ensure a pristine list that stands above reproach. The possibility that these 300,000 citizens must wait indefinitely while their rights are debated in a courtroom is an insult to the provincial electorate. You have the mandate, you have the numbers, and you have the legal framework to act.

We demand that you bypass the legal static and immediately take the necessary executive steps to include the independence question in the October referendum. The eyes of the province—and the country—are on you.

Do not let this historic expression of the democratic will be buried in legalities or process. Put the question to the people on October 19 and let Albertans decide their own destiny.

Sincerely,

Colin N. MacLeod

As soon as the Alberta Independence referendum succeeds, the Canadian Dollar will take a big hit overnight.

As a result, Alberta will be forced to switch over to the US Dollar as a means to preserve wealth. It will become an emergency measure of necessity. Albertans will be screaming about it watching the CAD drop out of the sky like a meteor ☄️.

🚨 A Vote Against Alberta Independence = A Vote for Liberal!

Carney stole his majority. Floor-crossers betrayed us. Immigration locked it in.

Pierre can’t save Alberta.

Choose independence — or accept permanent Liberal rule.

[Melanie In Saskatchewan @saskatchewan_in]

To Mark Carney & Those Applauding Him:

I am a Canadian paying for a country that doesn’t include me.

I live in the part of the country your map forgets.
About 2,600 kilometres from the nearest stop on your proposed $90 billion train.

I am an overtaxed, under-served Canadian.

I heat my home with rising costs.
I fill my vehicle at almost $2 a litre, depending on the day and my luck.
I watch a country with 163 billion barrels of oil behave like it’s on a meagre allowance.

And you want me to pay for a train I will never use.

How thoughtful.

I am a hard-working, falling-behind Canadian funding infrastructure I will never touch.

It runs roughly 800 to 900 kilometres, depending on how creatively it detours around reality, from Toronto to Quebec City.

Seven stops.
All neatly contained within Ontario and Quebec.
Top speed, 300 km/h.
National reach? Let’s just call it selective.

I am a Canadian treated like a revenue stream, invited only by invoice.
Roughly $90 billion. About $8,000 per household.
For a ticket I will never hold.

From where I sit in Saskatchewan, your high-speed rail corridor might as well be interstellar travel.
Two thousand plus kilometres away circling the station, and still billing me.

I am a Canadian bereft of a stop on this train.
Close enough to fund it. Far enough to never use it.

I am an overextended, nickel-and-dimed Canadian.

I am fixing my own road access.
Paying more for groceries.
Driving farther for basic services.
And now funding new infrastructure for people who already have airports, highways, and existing rail.

At this point, I would settle for a train that delivers affordable groceries.
No need for 300 km/h. Just cost-saving reliability.

I am a Canadian squeezed by government-made inflation, where every errand costs more than it did last week and every explanation from you sounds rehearsed.

I am a Canadian quietly recalculating the future, trying not to downgrade my retirement to a leaky camper on wheels, while the country accumulates debt it cannot repay and prints money to pretend it can.

I am a rural Canadian watching how this works.
Not on my land. Not this time.
But close enough to understand the mechanism.

Because an 800 plus kilometre corridor does not meander politely.
It cuts. Straight. Fast. With purpose.
Through farmland. Through properties. Through communities.

I am a watchful Canadian taking note of precedent.
Survey stakes. Expropriation powers. “Public interest” to be explained after.

It is not my yard today.
But it is someone’s.
And tomorrow, it will be called "necessary" for something larger.
Something urgent. Something climate-related. Something that cannot wait.

I am a wary Canadian noticing how easily "necessity" is declared to match your agenda.
And how quickly my rights become flexible once it is declared.

I am an observant Canadian with a long memory for names.
And somehow, the same SNC-Lavalin lineage Canadians were told to forget is back, rebranded as AtkinsRéalis, positioning itself for one of the largest public contracts in Canadian history.

A remarkable comeback. Truly.
No apology tour. Just a new logo and a larger taxpayer subsidized opportunity.
Seems history doesn’t repeat. It follows a predictable pattern.

I am an unimpressed Canadian watching familiar #Lavscam players return under reimagined branding.
The script is the same. Only the cover has changed.

I am an exasperated Canadian you included in your sales pitch.
I am told it will create 50,000 jobs.
I am told it will add $35 billion to GDP.

And I am sure it will.

In the corridor.
Where the stations are.
Where the density is.
Where the benefit is.

I am a shunned Canadian excluded from the outcome.
Included in all the arithmetic. Excluded from all the access.

I am a cynical Canadian being told this is nation-building. Though the nation appears to exist along a very specific set of coordinates.

I am the depleted Canadian who:

Reads grocery receipts like an audit.
Choreographs fuel stops around paydays not plans.
Measures distance in cost, not kilometres.

I am an overburdened, last-in-line Canadian.
Essential when it is time to pay. Optional when it is time to benefit.

I am an impoverished Canadian whose citizenship now resembles a pre-authorized debit agreement.
The withdrawals are national. The benefits are regional.

I am an exhausted, overlooked Canadian.

You’re not building this for me or my family.
You're just sending me the bill.

Signed,

Your most reluctantly reliable revenue stream,
Melanie in Saskatchewan

The biggest myth about Alberta independence:

False.

[Daniela @daniela_isspicy]

Canada's "Close Relationship" is a Myth.

Sure, we’ve shared the longest undefended border. Many parts of our two countries share similar weather and similar ways of living, enjoying much of the same food and things to do.

But the two countries could not be more different. The similarities are surface level.

It is impossible to articulate the Canadian identity without referencing its adherence to its moral superiority.

Canadians believe they are an evolved society with a relatively peaceful existence because of their compassion, tolerance and virtue. In keeping with this identity of higher society, they are more likely to adhere to the belief in a single defined “public good” that apparently only a few (incompetent) bureaucrats at the top can define.

It’s why Canadians were more inclined to blindly follow pandemic restrictions …
… or believe that it was OK for Trudeau to invoke the Emergencies Act against the truckers protesting their subjugation of bodily autonomy …
… or give in to a politician telling them to open their hearts — and wallets — without question.

We Canadians are bred to show off our moral virtue especially compared to those gun-slinging racists to the South. We are taught to believe that our social safety net is stronger — and that’s the reason we have a kinder, gentler population that doesn’t get kids shot up in schools.

We'll use America for its good weather, schools and healthcare when needed ... but what defines us is our more evolved upbringing to be more tolerant and compassionate than *those Americans* (“tolerance,” eh?).

It’s a myth, based on the same complicated web of influence and media used by all governments to make their population feel special. But we Canadians especially *have* to cling to our self righteous ideas — otherwise we’d realize it would have been better for Canadians and civilization had we lost the War of 1812.

But the British won … and in so doing we lost the opportunity to create the most powerful nation on earth, one that celebrates individual freedoms to create the best things our modern lives enjoy.

Apparently Trump agrees with me and he wants a shot at that opportunity again. Think bigly.

Instead of now pressuring their politicians for cogent and strategic responses to Trump, Canadians and her politicians throw a tantrum.

Canada, you’re bringing a butter knife to a gun fight. We Canadians always begrudged Americans for not knowing more about our country, or thinking more about their Northern neighbors. How insulting! That was probably overblown, and Americans know just enough about Canadians as most other country’s citizens know about another. (I don’t ever remember taking an American history class in school in Canada, do you?)

Regardless, what’s true right now in this moment? Americans, and America, does not give a single maple leaf cookie what Canada or Canadians think of them. And America has the numbers to back that attitude up.

Frankly, we also have the moral virtue to back it up.

Americans no longer accept the BS shoved down their throats about endless wars, the erosion of personal freedoms, a ruling class that has unabashedly gone after political opponents the last 8 years, and a government bureaucracy that has plunged the country into an unsustainable, civilization-crushing $36 trillion of debt with corrupt, ineffective payments going all over the world.

Perhaps Canada hasn’t noticed, but Americans have realized that there is no compassion without workable systems — and that’s why Trump won a decisive victory to reject the good-in-name-only-but-not-in-substance policies. Musk’s purchase of Twitter meant that we could finally have honest conversations about it all; the so-called “town square” managed by MSM was no longer controlled by a tightly wound established government (Democrat and Republican) machine. Americans reject the proposition that to “fight misinformation” you need to control information by the powerful few — a tactic used only by history’s greatest tyrants.

As a result of our new political landscape, DOGE is working around the clock to correct the course that will lead to the destruction of civilization without intervention. That is not hyperbole. It is obvious. Americans have been bearing the brunt of a broken, corrupt, ineffective political machine that has impoverished this nation while enriching others.

The grift is over. It is America that has been bullied by the bureaucracy of the world. It is America that is fighting back against the bullies that have taken her kindness and her compassion for trillions of dollars to fund the fake moral virtue that is as corrupt a machine as the drug trade.

Canadians are free to proceed along their path of moral virtue — with marketing efforts like ESG, with racist and unworkable DEI policies, by accepting unvetted immigrants and refugees at a pace incompatible with a well functioning society, while turning a blind eye to crime while maintaining its position as the world’s capital in money laundering to support drug and arms cartels and human traffickers, and whatever other flawed and unworkable apparatus they wish to try and shove down their taxpayers throats.

But as @shaunmmaguire says, “When your neighbors weaponize their borders against you, Tariffs are entirely reasonable.”

Americans are done with it. We are moving on. We will happily welcome others to move forward with us. Otherwise, it is not America who will be crushed.

The air of optimism, diligence, hard work and grit is upon us in a way not seen in most of our lifetimes — and in a way that only America knows how to capitalize.

Bureaucrats may have for decades tried to kill America and her entrepreneurial fire that lights up the human experience, but The People are, for the moment, refusing to let it happen. That fire may not be perfect and sometimes gets out of hand ... but it’s also the magic that creates solutions to our problems better than anything else in the world.

What do you believe in, Canada? What is our ethos? Hating America?

Blaming Trump or America for your own folly, failed leadership, challenging economic landscape, and downfall?

What a loser’s response.

[Cecile Shaw @cecile_shaw8]

Canadians would do well to direct far more of their outrage toward their own government—and the cartels that effectively run the country—for the profound, self-inflicted damage it has caused over many years.

It remains astonishing that, even a full year into the current crisis, many on the Canadian left still refuse to acknowledge any responsibility.

They cannot admit that the United States has, for decades, effectively subsidized Canada through imbalanced trade, security arrangements, and resource access. Nor can they comprehend why so many Americans are now deeply frustrated with Canada.

Every U.S. president from Clinton through Obama, Trump’s first term, and Biden issued clear warnings to Canada on the same core issues—warnings that were repeatedly dismissed or ignored:

- Persistent violations of trade agreements like CUSMA

- Chronic trade deficits heavily favouring Canada

- Growing Chinese Communist Party influence and infiltration

- Canada’s role in the fentanyl pipeline

- Minimal contributions to NATO burden-sharing and global trade-route security

- Negligible investment in pharmaceutical and medical R&D relative to benefits received

Instead of gratitude and introspection, Canada has habitually played the victim, amplified by a largely left-leaning media that discourages critical thinking and rarely asks Canadians to view these issues from the American perspective.

Blaming the United States while evading accountability for our own policy failures only deepens the rift and delays the reforms Canada urgently needs.

Please share this for progressive Canadians back East...

Greetings progressive Easterners. I have noticed that some of you are quite upset and even enraged by the current quest of many Albertans to have Alberta leave Canada.

Now hear me out.

If you consider it, you're taking this all wrong. Consider the progressive utopian paradise that Canada could be if "polluting", "knuckle-dragging", "bigoted", "backward" conservative Alberta was gone! I mean, that is what you think about us, right? I see those descriptions of us every day on social media, so imagine how great it'll be for y'all once we're no longer holding back your progressive goals and dreams!

With Alberta gone (maybe with Saskatchewan too if you're lucky) there will be no stopping your heart's most desired policies from coming true. Without us there could be:

✅ unlimited diversity and immigration
✅ true Net Zero with heavy taxes for CO2 emissions
✅ collective rights over individual rights
✅ severe hate speech laws
✅ gun confiscation
✅ almost no more conservative politicians

All this and much more can be yours for the low price of zero dollars. Just let us Albertans ride off into the sunset and your dreams will become reality.

So, turn that frown upside down!

Contemplate your amazing future without Albertans bumming you out constantly. There's no need to be upset about Alberta's independence petition. You're going to get what you said you always wanted: a country where progressives will be in charge, forever.

That is what you want, right?

Thanks for your kind attention, and future support for Alberta's independence from Canada.
