Concerned Canadian , where has accountability gone ?

[Keith Wilson @ikwilson]

Albertans have already spoken once.

In 2021, 61.7% voted to remove equalization from the Constitution. The message was clear: Alberta wanted a fairer arrangement. Premier Kenney took that result to Ottawa and to the other premiers.

They ignored it.

No reform. No negotiation. No meaningful response. Nothing changed.

That is the lesson Albertans should carry into the next referendum. Some questions send a message. Others create leverage.

The other October referendum questions may express Alberta’s frustration, but they do not legally require Ottawa to do anything. They can be acknowledged, dismissed, delayed, or forgotten.

An independence referendum is different.

It forces Canada to confront the question it has avoided for too long: whether Alberta will continue paying the bills while others make the decisions.

This should not be about party labels or political personalities. It should be about jobs, homes, housing, services, and whether Albertans have enough say over the future they are being asked to fund.

Get informed. Compare the claims. Then vote.

Sent Home to Die | Official Trailer

Baby Alita died just hours after a visit to a “doctor” in Beaver Lodge, Alberta. According to her family, the doctor showed little care for her and sent her home, where she tragically passed away.

I went undercover in South Africa to investigate this Nigerian “doctor,” who had been suspended there, yet somehow was able to obtain a medical license to practise in Alberta, Canada.

I used to be a federalist.

I used to believe in Canada.

I love what Canada once was.

On the wall in my office is my Canadian Armed Forces Officer Commissioning Scroll, and a copy of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

But the Canada of today is not the Canada I grew up in. It is no longer the nation I stood up for.

Canadians rights have been disregarded. Democracy has become just a byword, not what citizens can expect and aspire to without a fight. Ideology has replaced equality and justice. Families are under attack.

Over the past year I have examined the facts. I stepped back to self examine my own biases. I looked behind the curtain of the Canadian government press releases and media "reporting".

What I found was a broken nation, its heart and soul gone, its character reduced to identity politics and forced unequal wealth redistribution. Scandals. Dishonesty. Empathetic suicide. Self destructive economic policies.

In my recent advocacy for an Alberta referendum to give everyone a voice, I have been slandered, attacked, threatened, and received such vulgar responses from federalists that it is truly shocking and heartbreaking. But seeing how far Canada has fallen, it is not surprising. It validates the point that the Canadian experiment has failed.

Today my Canadian Armed Forces Officer Commissioning Scroll, and a copy of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms are still on my office wall as a historical record.

Today I support Alberta Independence.

Today I grieve a lost and destroyed Canada.

I miss what Canada once was, but it is time to dust ourselves off, stand up again, and move forward.

On October 19th, vote for a brighter future. Vote for Option 2.

[Melanie In Saskatchewan @saskatchewan_in]

When my husband died in late summer last year, my daughter and I didn't just lose him.

We lost more than half our household income overnight.
Suddenly, every dollar had a job. Every bill became a math problem.

Because my income dropped so dramatically, I became eligible for a GST rebate of about $435.

To some people, that might sound like a nice little bonus.
To people like me, trying to live on less than $27,000 a year, it's not spending money. It's survival money.

Where I live, water, garbage, and recycling cost me $520 every three months. Coincidentally, those bills arrive around the same time as the GST rebate.

So the GST cheque doesn't buy treats. It doesn't fund vacations. It doesn't even make life easier.

It mostly disappears into a utility bill before I can blink.

Today I'm sharing screenshots from my CRA account to demonstrate the federal government's latest affordability miracle with their renamed GST benefit masquerading as the Groceries and Essentials Benefit.

My GST rebate went up.
By six dollars.
Not sixty.
Not six hundred.
Six.

Apparently somewhere in Ottawa, somebody looked at the affordability crisis facing Canadians and thought:

"Hmm, needs more half sandwich."🤔

What makes this worse is knowing there are millions of Canadians out there who need help just as badly as I do, but don't qualify for a penny of it.

People working two jobs.
People trying to raise families.
Seniors watching every grocery bill climb higher.
People doing everything right and still falling behind.

So to @MarkJCarney, I have a simple question.

Why are you celebrating the existence of a Grocery and Essentials Benefit instead of asking why Canadians need one in the first place? How much did it cost taxpayers for the photo-op? Do you not see the hypocrisy in it?

Because that is the part I can't understand. A government should not be standing in a grocery store congratulating itself for handing back a few dollars of taxpayers' own money.

A government should be creating the conditions where people can afford groceries without government assistance.

The goal should be fewer Canadians needing benefits, not more!

I'm not proud to qualify for this.
👉🏻 I don't want to qualify for a government cheque.
👉🏻 I don't want to qualify for a renamed GST rebate.
👉🏻 I don't want my kid to qualify for a school lunch program because parents can no longer afford lunches.

I want an economy where ordinary Canadians can stand on their own feet and keep more of what they earn and be proud about it.

The fact that Ottawa felt the need to rename the GST rebate to include the words "Groceries and Essentials" should have set off alarm bells in every cabinet office in the country.

Because groceries and essentials are not luxuries. If Canadians need government assistance to afford the basics of life, that is not evidence of success.

It's evidence that something has gone very badly wrong.

What makes it even harder to stomach is watching a government talk about borrowing billions for new projects and sovereign wealth funds while ordinary Canadians are being told to celebrate an extra six dollars.

Six dollars!
That's not economic leadership.
That's a receipt. Perhaps the question Canadians should be asking is this:

If #MarkCarney's resume is as impressive as advertised, why do the results look like this?

At some point, Canadians stop listening to credentials and start looking at outcomes. And the outcomes are speaking for themselves!

[The Weird Canadian @Weird_Canadian]

Canada just launched a $2 billion+ AI strategy.

They're calling it "AI for All."

But who is it actually for? 🇨🇦

Let me break this down.

The government wants to be the investor, the promoter, the buyer, AND the referee of AI in Canada.

All at the same time.

That's not a strategy. That's a conflict of interest. 🚨

Here's what's actually happening:

Budget 2024 committed $2 billion over 5 years for "sovereign compute."

$700 million for AI data centres.
$1 billion for supercomputing.
$300 million for compute access.

Then came "AI for All" in June 2026.

The targets?

$200 billion in economic growth.
250,000 new AI jobs.
AI adoption jumping from 12% to 60% by 2034.

Sounds great on paper. 📄

But here's where it gets interesting.

The government gave Cohere $240 million in public funds.

@cohere is valued at $7 billion USD.

Their investors include AMD, NVIDIA, Salesforce, and BDC.

They don't need our tax dollars to survive. 💰

Then the government signed an MOU with Cohere to deploy AI across federal services.

So the same government that funded them is now buying from them.

And the same department (ISED) that promotes AI companies is also supposed to regulate them.

How do you regulate the company you just invested in? 🤔

It gets worse.

The "sovereign" data centre in Cambridge, Ontario?

It's operated by CoreWeave.

A U.S. company.

That's not sovereignty. That's branding. 🏷️

45 civil society organizations asked the government to separate AI regulation from ISED.

They said the department's mandate to grow the AI industry directly conflicts with protecting the public.

The government's response?

The Artificial Intelligence and Data Act (AIDA) died on the order paper in 2025.

Canada still has no binding AI law. ⚖️

Meanwhile, AI is being deployed in public services that handle:

Your health data.
Your immigration file.
Your tax information.
Your justice system interactions.

No comprehensive audit framework.
No statutory liability.
No citizen appeal rights.

Remember ArriveCAN? 📱

The Auditor General found "glaring disregard for basic management and contracting practices."

That was a simple app.

Now imagine that same procurement culture deploying AI across every federal department.

The strategy explicitly says it will use government procurement as a "strategic anchor customer."

That means your tax dollars become a guaranteed revenue stream for preferred vendors.

Small Canadian startups? Open-source alternatives?

They get crowded out. 🚪

This is how you build a new telecom oligopoly.

Bell, Rogers, and Telus already dominate connectivity.

The Competition Bureau has flagged their market concentration.

Now we're layering AI infrastructure on top of the same pattern.

The U.S. spent $285.9 billion on private AI investment in 2025.

23 times more than China.

Canada can't compete on capital alone.

But the answer isn't to hand billions to venture-backed companies and call it sovereignty. 🏦

Here's what should happen instead:

1. Separate regulation from promotion. Give oversight to an independent body, not ISED.

2. Regulate before you promote. Pass a binding AI law before deploying AI in public services.

3. Full transparency. Make the AI Register mandatory and link it to procurement records.

4. Public interest test. Every subsidy and contract must prove verifiable public benefit.

The sequencing matters.

Protect citizens first.
Regulate first.
Audit first.

Then adopt. ✅

Sovereignty isn't a data centre with a Canadian flag on it.

Sovereignty is operational control, independent oversight, and the ability to enforce the public will.

Until Canada separates its promotional ambitions from its regulatory duties, this strategy benefits a select few while exposing all of us to the risk.

In France there is a new activity that the Left is getting their knickers in a twist about.

Le Canon Français is running massive banquets. For about £70 you can have great food and drinks and spend time singing patriotic songs.

The “Far Left” is furious.

LFI says it has evidence of racist chanting, and of immigrant staff being insulted. With pork regularly on the menu, they say the feasts are purposely designed to exclude Muslims and vegetarians.

Meanwhile, everyday people who love France, love food and beer are having the time of their lives.

LETTER FROM MEMBER OF A FIRST NATION TO MEMBERS OF THE FIRST NATION IN ALBERTA.

" The chief and council you vote for was not built by your ancestors. It was built by the Crown to manage you.

That is the origin of the system. Not self-determination. Administration.

And Ottawa still decides who is allowed inside. The federal government determines who is a status Indian and who is not, registration, the second-generation cut-off, the decades of sex discrimination that took Bill C-31, then Bill C-3, then Bill S-3 to half-fix and still hasn’t fixed.

Think about what that means. The government that built the band council also keeps the list of who counts as one of us. They define the membership and they define the office that membership votes for.

We did not draw either line. They did. And then we are told the path to sovereignty runs through the very machinery they designed to deny it.

So let’s look at the results, because results are the only honest measure. As of mid-2026 there are still thirty-eight long-term drinking water advisories in thirty-six First Nations communities.

Neskantaga has been boiling its water since 1995, a child born there has now grown up, had children of their own, and never once drunk safely from the tap in their home community.

Ottawa promised to end all of it by 2021. The deadline came and went. The water legislation, Bill C-61, got delayed again. One hundred and fifty-six advisories have been lifted since 2015 and we are still here, holding a cup of water up to the light and wondering. Ukraine got their money though........

For thirty years the water ran foul and no one called an emergency assembly. The children kept getting apprehended and no one filed an injunction.

But the moment Alberta let its citizens circulate a petition, not to leave Confederation, not even to hold the referendum, just to ask whether the question of leaving could one day be put to a vote, the chiefs found their fight.

Sturgeon Lake Cree, Athabasca Chipewyan, the Blackfoot Confederacy, Onion Lake, straight into the Court of King’s Bench to kill the petition on duty-to-consult grounds, treaty rallies on the legislature steps, the whole apparatus mobilized at speed to stop the question before it could ever reach a ballot.

Sit with the absurdity of it. They did not kill a separation. They killed a question about whether to ask a question, the most preliminary, least binding step in the entire process, strangled in the cradle.

And the thing they raced to bury was the best leverage our people have been handed in a century.

When the Mohawks stood at Oka they stood for land, for the dead in their own burial ground, for their own people, their own honour. That is what resistance is for.
The Alberta chiefs lined up to block a vote.

They blocked democracy in the province the same way they have blocked it on their own reserves for three generations, where the same one or two surnames have held the council table for seventy-five years and called it tradition.

A captured office defending a captured future, and calling the defense sovereignty.
So no.

I will not risk my liberty for that. I am not waiting for the band office to save me, I stopped a long time ago.
The Crown built the cage in 1876, but the people guarding the door now look like us, and they have decided the cage is comfortable enough to keep. One hundred and fifty years is enough evidence.

Sovereignty was never going to come from the men who throw away the one real chance at renegotiation because the old arrangement keeps them in their chairs, with full pockets.

The cage was built in Ottawa, but the door is held from the inside now, and I am done asking the men in the doorway to move."
