They said Alberta independence had no plan.
Now it does.
The Alberta Transition Plan, developed with Dennis Kalma and 40+ subject matter experts, lays out the path from province to country.

I’ve not kept up with the debate, so can someone please give me a rundown of why I’m seeing people on the right defending the use of Flock cameras? Because it looks like we’re $40 trillion in debt on our way to national bankruptcy, and elites are buying up farmland & building bunkers while they create a digital police state to protect themselves from what’s coming. What am I missing?
Just a reminder that today, Alberta will send $54,794,520.55 to Ottawa and not receive anything for it. Tomorrow, and every day after that, another $54,794,520.55 will be sent.
Vote Option 2 on October 19th to start the process of ending this.
On October 19, Albertans will make an important choice about the future we leave to the next generation.
- Option 1 says carry on as we are.
- Option 2 says we believe Alberta can do better.
This should not be a vote about fear or anger. It should be a vote about confidence—confidence in our people, our resources and our ability to build a more prosperous future.
Vote Option 2. Alberta can do better.
@Martyupnorth Reminds me of all the celebrities saying they would leave America if Trump was elected. They're still there. But if they leave they should have to relinquish Alberta citizenship at the border.
For all the STUPID MORONS who support the @liberal_party, this is what they have done to YOU & YOUR FAMILY! USEFUL IDIOTS to a traitorous Party in Canada!
Whitney Webb just said the quiet part out loud.
Flock cameras are only one part of a “constellation” of surveillance tech.
“They can really spy on you … now from space.”
“You can’t cut those down.”
“This is getting extremely dire.”
“The surveillance state has expanded so much.”
“Flock cameras are bad.”
“But they are one of a constellation … of companies.”
“They are private companies.”
“But they are totally in bed with the national security apparatus.”
And that national security apparatus is quickly moving into something worse than just surveillance.
They’re using surveillance tech to build an AI-powered “predictive” crime apparatus.
“That type of power is weaponized to curb and target dissent.”
“If you’re moving to a paradigm where you can target dissent before it happens, that’s terrible.”
“What we’re talking about here with the Merlin constellation and Satellogic and Palantir is literally what you’re worried about with Flock in space.”
Mark Goodwin: “In April 2022, the first Edge AI-enabled satellite in space was launched by Satellogic and Palantir with assistance from SpaceX.”
Webb: “This is about predictive stuff.”
“It’s about what an algorithm thinks you may do in the future.”
“Or, like, you were at this place where a crime happened … so the algorithm is like, people associated with this hotspot could also be criminals.”
“It’s totally insane.”

What is more harmful: continuing to believe in a fairy tale while government programs fail, public services deteriorate and our institutions stop serving the people, or honestly acknowledging these problems so we can begin fixing them?
Calling out what is broken is not mean or unpatriotic. It is our responsibility as citizens. Democracy depends on people being willing to question government, confront failure and demand better.
And before we become outraged by uncomfortable truths, we should ask: what is that outrage actually getting us? It certainly is not fixing anything. It only protects the illusion and prevents an honest conversation about what has gone wrong.
And where was this same sense of moral outrage when citizens stood up to the government and were ridiculed, threatened, excluded, punished and publicly attacked simply for questioning those in power?
Perhaps it is easier to attack the person telling the truth than to admit that the story we have been telling ourselves is no longer true.
If we genuinely want things to improve, we must stop defending the illusion and start confronting reality.
@rupasubramanya Carney holds an un-elected majority, there has been no hint of eastern Canada changing how they vote. At what point do you leave an abusive spouse? Even in America they've gone back and forth between parties. We've had the same for 15 years, and have just locked in for another 2.
@furmsies Last I checked Canada ranked last in the G7 for economic growth, it's been near stagnant for almost 15 years. But I'm sure that's all part of the plan.
