We spend a lot of time asking what Alberta would need from Canada after independence.
Let’s ask the other half:
What would Canada need from Alberta?
Energy. Agriculture. Transportation corridors. Continued trade.
Canada already uses Alberta energy as leverage internationally.
Maybe it’s time Albertans understood the leverage we have too.
Canada needs Alberta too.

Treaty 8 was entered into in 1899 before Alberta existed as a province. At that time, what is now Alberta was part of the Northwest Territories and under federal/Dominion jurisdiction.
In 1905, Alberta became a province, meaning governance over the same territory changed in a major way. Then, in 1930, Canada transferred control of Crown lands, natural resources, mines, minerals and water to Alberta under the Natural Resources Transfer Agreement.
Those were profound jurisdictional changes. Yet Treaty rights were not extinguished or impacted by either event. That history matters.
Alberta independence does not threaten Treaty rights.
Keith Wilson dismantled the fear narrative around Alberta Independence live on CBC.
They asked about uncertainty.
He pointed straight back at Ottawa.
CBC didn’t seem eager to let him keep going.
@CoryBMorgan FANTASTIC read!! HIGHLY recommend The Sovereigntist’s Handbook! Already gave one away & ordered 3 more to give away! A great tool for strategies when sharing why Alberta needs to be independent!
Canada’s new “Canadian Identity” minister @s_guilbeault just deceived Canadians saying we don’t need more pipelines because the TMX pipeline is only 40% full and peak oil will be in 2 years.
The facts are that TMX, which just opened and would have been built entirely with private dollars if Ottawa hadn’t made it impossible for the original proponent to build it, is already close to capacity.
Further most estimates of demand for bitumen shows it growing for several more decades and that it will be needed to replace declining U.S. conventional oil fields.
This is just another example of how misleading and destructive this former environment minister was to Alberta’s and Canada’s economy and investment climate.
We ask for the new environment minister @juliedabrusin to disavow his comments and commit to working with Alberta to build new pipelines to access new markets.
🧵THREAD: Alberta just made a referendum on separation realistic—and they did it the day after Mark Carney became Prime Minister. Here's what you need to know:
Thanks to the Lost Liberal Decade, Canada is behind on LNG. Way behind.
But it's not too late. Our Conservative government will quickly approve projects so we bring home billions of dollars of powerful paycheques for our people.
It's how we'll put Canada First — For a Change: https://t.co/US1RijukVK
Saying something doesn’t make it so. And saying PP “has no plan” when he in fact is the candidate who has put more policy initiatives in the window than any other is at best, misleading and at worst, an outright lie. You may not like his policies but that statement is factually incorrect.
Former PM Stephen Harper takes the stage at Pierre Poilievre rally in Edmonton. Says he is in the unique position in this campaign - both men in the race once worked for him. Says his choice “without a shadow of a doubt”, is Pierre Poilievre, to huge cheers
It’s time to supercharge the amount of surgeries we do in Alberta - it’s time for patient based funding in health care.
We spend billions on acute care services, and while we have seen some improvements - it's simply not enough. Today we are announcing a new funding model that will increase transparency and accountability and will ensure there are more surgeries happening for Albertans. Albertans will not need to pay out of pocket for medically required surgeries - but they will certainly have faster access to these critical procedures.

Just had this video sent to me from a friend.....
15,000 proud Albertans out to see Pierre Poilievre in Edmonton.
All of them ready to put Canada First with a new Conservative government, for a change.
Incredible!!
Alberta’s economy is booming, and the proof is in the numbers. We have Canada’s highest per-capita business investment, our job creation leads the country, and the world is taking notice.
During this extraordinary growth, Alberta’s government is continuing to build schools, reducing red tape, expanding addiction recovery programs, and fighting Ottawa’s carbon tax head-on. While others stall, Alberta acts—with action, not ideology, and solutions that work for businesses and families alike.
Together, we’re building a stronger, freer, and more prosperous Alberta. And that is the message I delivered to business leaders at Edmonton’s Chamber of Commerce today!
It’s official.
Today, our UCP government has proudly become one of the first in the world to introduce legislation that safeguards children’s future choices, brings parents into the loop on what’s taught in classrooms, and ensures women can fairly and safely compete in the sports they love.
