If the CPC could have fixed things for Aberta, why didn't they?
We need a need constitution & charter to protect us FROM Canada when the liberals are in power again.

@JeromyYYC Quality of life is and has been under attack for the past 10+ YEARS!! I for one am willing to break free from Ottawa and at least try something new. Remember the ol'definition of insanity..? Exactly.

A lot of forever conservative Canadians who've been poo pooing on independence or sitting on the fence are about to have three thoughts:
1. Canada is cooked.
2. A new constitution is a desperately needed.
3. Alberta Independence is the only way to get one.
#WEXIT
For years, Albertans were told the answer was simple:
Elect more Conservatives. Send better MPs. Trust the party machine.
Keith Wilson is asking the harder question:
What if the structure of Canada is broken, and no federal party can fully fix it?
Honestly Brett, I was the principal author of the Value of Freedom and I stand by the estimates in that document.
We’ve met in the past…you knew my capabilities
You might want to reconsider your blanket negative assessment of all of us in the independence movement and realize the reasons why we want to leave and the do-ability of standing up an independent Alberta is based upon thoughtful analysis by capable people before you slag it the way you are.
In the meantime I’ll just keep working with Keith on a real, honest transition plan grounded in reality rather than the propaganda hit piece that Danielle is fabricating
Ukraine is not in recession.
Canada is.
Read that again.
Ukraine is fighting missiles, blackouts, energy strikes, transport disruption, and a full-scale war.
Canada is fighting Trudeau, Freeland, Carney, and the Liberal Party.
Ukraine took a war-hit Q1 and is still forecast to grow in 2026.
Canada had GDP drop in Q4, flatline in Q1, and business investment fall for 5 straight quarters.
No missiles.
No bombed-out power grid.
No front line.
Just Liberal economics doing what Liberal economics does.
Ukraine has war.
Canada has Liberals.
That is the embarrassment.
Wanting Alberta to separate doesn't necessarily mean a person hates Canada.
I love my truck but I would still jump out if it were on fire, or about to fall off a cliff.
Albertans don't have the means to save Canada but they CAN save themselves.
You and Preston Manning went to Ottawa to change the relationship between the west and Canada..
That was 20 years ago. Nothing has changed.
How many more decades of abuse should we endure???
What is your plan to get change made???
Oh right you don’t have one because for change to happen requires opening the constitution where the Atlantic provinces and Quebec have to vote to reduce their representation in the HoC, Senate and Supreme Court of Canada…
It will never happen.
Your answer??? Well if we wait 50 years our population will grow…???
Things will change???
All just a bunch of tomfoolery, playing on people’s fears of the work that a new country would take.
Albertans are not afraid of the work or the risks.
It is time for Alberta to rise beyond the shackles of Confederation.

Brookfield’s CEO said on camera: That they hired Carney while he worked at the UN to help them pull capital into Brookfield.
So the guy helping build the ESG rules ended up being hired by Brookfield to cash in on it at the same time?
His Worship Mayor Farkas is right to worry about jobs, investment, housing, public safety and social disorder. But he is wrong to blame Albertans for asking a democratic question about independence.
The uncertainty facing Calgary is not caused by citizens debating their future. It is caused by a decade of failed Ottawa policy: capital flight, unaffordable housing, catch-and-release justice, uncontrolled immigration pressures, higher taxes, red tape and federal hostility to the resource economy that built this city.
RBC says more than $1 trillion of investment left Canada between 2015 and 2024. Statistics Canada confirms GDP per capita has fallen in consecutive years. That is the real uncertainty.
The Quebec analogy is also incomplete. The loss of Montreal head offices was tied to the extreme French language-law known as Bill 101 and the resulting flight of English speaking Quebecers.
Calgarians do not need lectures about fear. They need leadership with open eyes. If Mayor Farkas truly wants to protect Calgarians’ jobs, safety and future prosperity, he should at least acknowledge that Ottawa’s policies are a central cause of the crisis—and that Albertans have every right to consider independence as the democratic path to a freer and more prosperous future.
On this question, the mayor gets one vote, just like every other Albertan.
🚨🍿 Trump invites Tim Cook to explain basic economics to Mark Carney after Canada demands 15% of revenue from Apple, Netflix, Amazon, and Disney.
Have Canadians had enough of this economically illiterate Liberal government yet?🤡
People on welfare should have to work at least 20 hours a week doing community service in order to receive benefits. Even "unfit for work" people can still contribute. They can answer phones, do computer work... Mentally challenged? No problem. You can still sweep walkways or rake parks.
Bullsh*t.
Mitch Sylvestre invited 48 chiefs in Alberta to a meeting in Panoka. Sat there all day & not a single one showed up.
We had very public and open town halls meetings for 2 years all across Alberta...
First Nations had every opportunity to join in, but their leadership never did.
