Respectfully, “restoring Canada” isn’t possible without first forming a majority Conservative government and securing support from at least 7 of 10 provinces representing over 50% of the population to change the Constitution.
In central and eastern Canada, combined Liberal, NDP, and Bloc support consistently outpolls Conservatives, making a majority government highly unlikely. Even if one were achieved, meaningful “restoration” would require constitutional amendments to limit federal powers and changes to equalization—that currently benefit Manitoba, Quebec, New Brunswick, PEI, and Nova Scotia--making Constitutional change almost impossible.
Sadly, the Canada some seek to restore no longer exists and cannot be recreated within the current Constitutional framework. Importantly, however, if Alberta and Saskatchewan wish to pursue that vision, there is a viable path and it's through separation and independence.
BREAKING: Carney plans to give CRA more power with automatic tax filing.
Trusting the taxman to do your return is like trusting your dog to protect your burger.
CRA acting as both tax filer and tax collector is a serious conflict of interest.
Stop the CRA power grab!
I STAND WITH ALBERTA TEACHERS.
If they want a 33% increase in take home pay and smaller class sizes all they have to do is vote for #AlbertaIndependence
It would end federal income tax and allow Alberta to deport everyone here on a temporary federal visa.

I’m on Vancouver Island right now and it really is absurd that western Canada has an island of 800,000 people that is not a province while eastern Canada has an island of 150,000 people that is.
Federal park management of Banff and Jasper is grossly incompetent
For the safety of Albertan citizens living in these communities, Alberta should assume administrative control

This week we visited Washington D.C.
We attended the National Prayer Breakfast, and forged relationships with decision makers on the Hill. Beyond the connection of shared faith at the breakfast, we met with 27 Congressional Offices from 18 different states representing the Committees of Agriculture, Energy, Ways and Means, and Financial Services. But further to this, but we have secured invitations for Alberta’s Washington D.C. office to meet with another 39 Congressional Offices down the road.
They all heard about the importance Alberta, and Canada, play in our shared prosperity through trade.
Establishing these diplomatic relationships are an opportunity to maintain strong trade agreements between Canada and the United States, and I am proud of the incredible work Alberta has accomplished this week.
We learnt a path forward is not only possible but probable, but only when built on shared success.
