What you're seeing here is the result of suppression subjugation and demoralizing the 158 years of a Westminster parliamentary system has done to the True North Strong and Free Canadians.
And we have had enough.!!
The self-determination of Albertans will provide freedom for all Canadians.
West exit is the beginning of this freedom with prosperity and economic strength!
One of the most significant conversations I had in Red Deer was not with a longtime political activist, a public figure, or someone who lives and breathes this stuff every day.
It was with ordinary Albertans who told me they had never really been involved in politics before.
They said they had never canvassed. Never stepped forward publicly like this. Never imagined they would be out on the side of the road waving flags and speaking openly about Alberta independence.
And yet there they were.
That matters.
It matters because movements do not become real when the loudest voices get louder. They become real when regular people, people who used to stay out of politics entirely, start feeling that the situation has become too important to ignore.
That is what I think this moment represents.
These were not people looking for a hobby or some political tribe to join. They were people who felt that Alberta may be staring at a rare window of opportunity, and that if we let it slip through our fingers, we may never get another one like it again.
That is a very different kind of energy.
It is one thing for committed independence supporters to keep making the case year after year. It is another thing entirely when people who were never engaged before begin to say:
This is our chance.
We cannot waste it.
We may not get another one.
That tells me the movement is moving beyond its old boundaries.
It also helps explain why this issue hits so deeply for so many families. A lot of these people are not motivated by abstract theory. They are thinking about their kids, their grandkids, their cost of living, their ability to build a future here, and whether Alberta will remain a place where ordinary people can still prosper and live with a sense of freedom and dignity.
When people like that start showing up, it means the issue has become personal.
And once something becomes personal, it gets much harder for the political class to dismiss it as fringe.
That may be the deeper significance of what is happening.
The independence movement is no longer just being carried by the usual voices. It is pulling in people who had almost given up on politics entirely. People who had tuned out. People who thought nothing would ever change. People who are now saying that maybe this is the moment when Albertans finally have to stop waiting for Ottawa to fix things and start taking responsibility for their own future.
Agree or disagree with them, that is not something to laugh off.
That is a sign of a population beginning to wake up.
And when ordinary people start believing that this may be their last real chance to change the direction of their province, that is when movements become powerful.
That is when they stop being theoretical.
That is when they become hard to ignore.

The post and attached video spread exaggerated claims: The TikTok video alleges Trump has “obliterated” the IRS with permanent changes to Social Security, including implications of major payouts like $8k checks to seniors, but no such nationwide abolition or one-time payments have occurred.
• IRS remains operational

Seems like Mr. Kenney has been doing a little too much doom scrolling.
He's practically foaming at the mouth sounding off like a little bitch preaching chaos and civil war.
Accusing others that of which you're guilty of @jkenney.
It's called civil law, Jason which also involves democracy in a civilized manner.
Elections have consequences and the separation of Alberta from the rest of Canada may be one of those consequences of the last 11 years of liberal governments .
Thats the reality.
Not obviously attempting to manufacture a fear mongering tactic on a supposition.
@MarcNixon24 Unfortunately I don't think fixing Canada as an option. That would mean rewriting the constitution and getting rid of the crown.
The Canary and coal mine is dead.
Canada is too toxic.
@echipiuk@JonFromAlberta Most if not all conservative politicians are maintaining the status quo of silent majority.
They are all excellent people.
But are gun shy of being called 'far right.'
Think of where that label is coming from for a moment. Most of those people get everything wrong anyway.
Sorry Eva none come to mind. but we do know who could be one , Both You & Our Andy Lee would make the best Elected officials in decades, if not centuries. Everyone should know by now why you'd make the best ,and as for Andy, All they have to do is listen to what Andy says in this👇about Canada & the West😉https://t.co/OFfoHpb6pg
@helps_sama@Averyflash@echipiuk It's a comment section. Anybody can comment anything they want about politics.. it's open season.
It certainly does not need policing whether or not you get the point.
And talking about hate you seem to have the most amount of all the comments I've read today in this section.
61.2% voted to stop the equalization transfer payment.
Maybe if that had been followed through with enforcement the money could’ve stayed home.

"The UCP government’s primary stated reasons for cuts were fiscal restraint amid provincial deficits, lower-than-expected resource revenues, and the need to control overall spending. open.alberta. ca
When the United Conservative Party (UCP) took office in 2019 under Premier Jason Kenney, Alberta faced significant budget deficits (projected around $7+ billion initially), high provincial debt, volatile oil prices, pipeline constraints limiting growth, and economic challenges from the prior NDP government. The 2019 budget emphasized “getting spending in line with other provinces” and returning to balance by around 2022-23. open.alberta. ca "
@DavidDrover1476@scoopercooper@nikitabier Yeah that's indignant all right especially on the mandate of 'to serve and protect.'
Makes you wonder who are they serving and who are they protecting.
