Has anybody seen a First Nations TPA?
Or do they too just get to spend whatever the fuck they want and take foreign funding for their message like Lukaszuk?
Is Elections Alberta even paying attention?
Keith Wilson: Alberta's independence movement is gaining momentum
'We've raised well over a quarter of a million dollars in less than a month,' said @ikwilson on Thursday's episode of The @EzraLevant Show.
Alberta's independence movement is gaining ground this summer, said Keith Wilson, the King's Counsel lawyer now widely seen as the driving force behind the province's referendum push, on Thursday's episode of The Ezra Levant Show.
Wilson leads Let Alberta Decide, a third-party advertiser registered with Elections Alberta that has emerged as a central hub in the referendum campaign after a court ruling set aside an earlier petition drive led by the Alberta Prosperity Project.
"We've raised well over a quarter of a million dollars in less than a month," Wilson said, adding that his group is leading all fundraising among registered campaign entities.
A sold-out Stampede breakfast organized on short notice drew more than a thousand attendees last weekend, many of them newcomers to the independence cause. Wilson said a large sign campaign for Calgary and a new digital strategy are next.
Wilson raised concerns about the fairness of Elections Alberta's enforcement, noting that Unifor and Thomas Lukaszuk's Forever Canada campaign have not registered as third-party advertisers despite visible campaign infrastructure.
"No observer can look at the facts here and conclude that's what's happening," Wilson said of the elections body's claimed impartiality.
Much of the discussion turned to recent pipeline announcements between Premier Danielle Smith, Prime Minister Mark Carney and B.C. Premier David Eby. Wilson argued that the deals, rather than undercutting the independence movement, have accelerated it. He pointed to a new provision allowing British Columbia to toll Alberta oil moving through the Trans Mountain pipeline — a measure economist Jack Mintz has publicly labelled extortion.
"Let's call it what it is: extortion," Wilson said, citing Mintz's analysis.
Wilson also cited a Fraser Institute study released June 25, concluding that new carbon capture costs and industrial carbon taxes tied to the Pathways Alliance project would make Alberta's oil, gas and electricity uncompetitive against the United States, with costs applied to existing production immediately rather than only new output.
"These are self-inflicted economic wounds," Wilson said.
He estimated the combined cost of the proposed $40-billion pipeline and roughly $25-billion Pathways project at close to $70 billion, comparable to Alberta's entire annual budget.
Wilson pushed back on Calgary Mayor Jeremy Farkas, who released a video citing a Calgary Chamber of Commerce estimate that separation could cost the province's economy up to $62 billion a year. Wilson noted fewer than three per cent of surveyed businesses reported concern, while Meta's recently announced $13-billion data centre investment in Alberta undercuts the mayor's argument.
"He's obviously seeking favour and doing Ottawa's bidding," Wilson said of Farkas.
Wilson pointed to a Royal Bank of Canada study from two months ago that found more than a trillion dollars in investment left Canada under federal Liberal policy.
"Through independence we will create certainty," Wilson said. "We'll elect the politicians here in Alberta that will make the laws for Albertans, and if they don't do a good job, we'll unelect them."
CAMPAIGN UPDATE:
Because of you, Let Alberta Decide raised $74,113 during the Alberta Independence Telethon. A huge thanks to @johnrbolton01 for organizing such a successful event.
This weekend was another huge success as hundreds of Albertans picked up lawn signs across Calgary. More pickup locations and dates are being announced soon.
You can always find the latest lawn sign information at https://t.co/EhhswaHZCR, and be sure to follow our social media channels so you don't miss the next handout.
We're also excited to share that our new 8'×4' roadside signs have now been printed. We're finishing the stands and will begin installing them across Calgary soon.
Thank you to everyone who has donated, volunteered, shared our content, displayed a sign, or helped spread the message. Together, we're building a movement.

My prediction for Alberta.
Liberals win a majority.
Albertains hold a referendum.
Over 60% vote to leave Canada.
The House of Commons rejects the results.
The Supreme Court rejects the results.
Danielle Smith rejects the results.
Alberta replaces Danielle Smith with a republican leader.
Alberta Declare Independence.
Donald Trump recognizes an Independent Alberta.
Canada joins the European Union, UN and NATO in rejecting Alberta's Independence.
PM Carney invokes the Emergency Act.
Alberta becomes Independent with US support.
Saskatchewan follows in Alberta footsteps.
Remember, this is just a prediction. I don't have a crystal ball, I am just listening to Albertans.
I met a girl with these special powers in jail. She refused to throw her leftover food and garage in the trash after mealtimes, hoarding them in the corner of our little cell. She claimed she was receiving messages and energy from it.
So there’s that….
Today’s approval of the Yellowhead Pipeline is more than good news for Alberta. It demonstrates what a functioning approval system looks like.
Alberta examined the need, route, environmental effects and public interest, and completed approximately 19 months of active regulatory review.
The $2.9-billion project will be advanced by ATCO as a regulated utility investment—not as a government-owned, taxpayer-financed megaproject.
Compare that with Ottawa, where major pipelines have become dependent on special political designation, costly net-zero conditions, government ownership and extensive taxpayer financial support.
Yellowhead shows what pipeline approval could and should be: rigorous, timely and capable of attracting private investment.
It also shows why Canada’s present federal system does not work for Alberta. We can do better.
Good Morning Alberta!!!
With so much focus on carbon emissions let’s consider this:
Over the last 12 years Quebec dumped an estimated 250 BILLION litres of raw sewage & untreated water into the St. Lawrence & other waterways.
But Quebec blocks our pipelines.
🤔
It’s time.
