Some Albertans think our problems with Ottawa are political: elect a friendlier federal government and things will improve.
But the deeper problem is STRUCTURAL. It is built into the rules of Confederation itself.
Alberta owns its oil and gas, but Ottawa controls international exports and interprovincial pipelines. Ottawa decides how much federal tax to collect from Albertans and how that money is spent. Ottawa controls criminal law and appoints the judges of our superior courts.
We have tried to change these arrangements for 45 years. We elected senators Ottawa refused to appoint. We voted 61.7% to remove equalization from the Constitution. We even won a Supreme Court challenge to parts of Ottawa's Impact Assessment Act. Yet the underlying problems remain.
A friendlier Prime Minister may temporarily ease the pressure. But the next government can reverse those decisions because the fundamental distribution of power has not changed.
That is the critical distinction: Political change replaces the people exercising power. Structural change changes who holds the power.
If we want lasting solutions for Alberta, we need to have a serious conversation about the constitutional structure of Confederation, not simply which political party governs in Ottawa. Vote Option 2.
💥SCANDALOUS: Minister Lena Diab quietly announced—at a closed-door, non-televised press conference—that IRCC removed the only safeguard protecting Canadian jobs from foreign replacement—without debate, a vote, or a bill.
Canada has officially slid into a dictatorship.
Danielle Smith: "Just look at the Liberals under Justin Trudeau. They had a near-death experience in December 2024, and then they woke up and said, 'Oh, gee, we better steal all of Pierre Poilievre's policies, otherwise we're not going to get reelected.'"
EDITORIAL: Alberta separatists aren’t going away
Whatever the outcome of Monday's referendum vote, now that the idea of separation is a live issue, it's not going to disappear

If Canada is the best, why did Carney live abroad until two years ago?
Why does he have three passports?
Why did he move his company, Brookfield, from Toronto to New York?
Why does all of his family live in the U.S.?
Why doe he want to join China's new world order?
The mainstream media is not telling you the truth about the so called "student protests" in France.
It is far left riots.
They were literally in the streets of France today singing about a Communist revolution.
People must realize how dangerous the far left actually is.
they fear the convoy energy
they fear the power & the glory that is the average boring person who is pushed past his limit, his family's ability to survive
this fills my heart
not a separatist, was not a convoy-er
this fills my heart because I am human
all of us together=win
J’ai la nausée ce soir.
J’ai traversé Paris à vélo. Des quartiers entiers livrés aux pillards. Des jeunes les bras chargés d’objets volés. Des familles terrorisées. Du mobilier urbain saccagé.
Voir notre capitale ainsi défigurée me fend le cœur.
Pauvre Paris. Pauvre France.
🚨 BREAKING: Fiery riots sparked by Antifa and “migrant” rioters have broken out in MILAN, ITALY now
We tried warning you, Europe. And you didn’t listen.
Now, you’re beholden to the third world savages you imported by the millions.
🥜 Danielle Smith kicks Mark Carney & his supporters in the nuts.
🤥 "He does say different things in front of different audiences...inch by inch has moved those in his party to a very different position than they were 18 months ago...I will say the same thing no matter what room I'm in."
🐑 So, Carney has to lie to gradually trick his sheep into following him. Liberals described to a T. 😆
These people did fight for Canada. And you were going to roll out a tank against them while arresting them and freezing their bank accounts.
Never forget.

I went to witness the riots in Paris.
I’m going to tell you the truth: it was only young people from African immigrant backgrounds who came to attack our police officers and firefighters, loot our shops, and destroy everything.
An elderly French couple in their 80s was robbed and left in their underwear in the street.
The steeple of a 150-year-old church was completely burned down.
This is not a social revolt for better education.
It’s a taste of an ethnic war that took place today.
