Alberta Viewpoints

Not one penny of Alberta money should go to a rail connecting national parks.

National Parks are under federal regulation.

If they want provincial money, they should become a provincial park.

Jasper will ask the province to include it in the fast-track timeline for its railway plans. Some stakeholders are saying it's vital to the town's long-term recovery, while others are worried about costs and a lack of space to lay track.

If there are UCP supporters who are serious about independence, these are what they should be demanding at all upcoming AGMs.

1. Alberta Pension Plan. This 100% has to be in place before a referendum on independence. You will not get a yes vote if the 'leaning towards independence' demographic feels uncertain about their pensions.

Tell the UCP to do it today. We dont need a referendum on the pension. They're the government. We elected them. They can act on our behalf to make it happen now.

2. Alberta Police Service. All ready happening. Kind of. Tell the UCP to scrap the RCMP in Alberta today and have our new police service take it over.

3. A detailed report on how much every province has paid into federal revenue and how much the federal government has spent in each province goin back at least 20 years, but 70 or even 120 wpuld be better.

These numbers will be shocking, and it will help people realize how much we could afford on our own, and how we can easily replace every federal function with our own.

If we dont have these in place first, then an independence referendum is doomed, and we probably push the independence movement back 10 or 15 years. Additionally, most likely we won't get our own pension after a failed referendum. The govt will just say 'there clearly wasnt interest based on the poor showing at the independence referendum.'

When anyone says they want a strong, united Canada, what they actually mean is...

A Canada where Albertan votes continue to be counted after the decision is already made by the east.

A Canada where unelected Senators-for-life appointed by governments that the majority of Albertans oppose have the final say over any law that is passed federally.

A Canada that grows further and further into debt that Albertans must pay back their share of - despite not one Penny of that debt having ever been incurred by spending in Alberta.

A Canada that taxes Albertans over $50bn a year, but only spends $23bn of that in Alberta. The rest is spent in Eastern Canada where the controlling votes are.

A Canada that doesn't make the ability to transport goods from Alberta easier but nearly impossible.

A Canada that doesn't trade with us, but buys our largest export from our competitors instead.

Essentially, they are saying that they want Albertans to not have a meaningful say in their own future. They are saying what Canadians have always been saying to Albertans, "Shut up and pay."

Does this feel like we are selling out to anyone?

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith left Monday's first ministers' meeting in Saskatoon with a so-called "grand bargain" exchanging oil sands...

23/05/2025

Premier Smith said "if Prime Minister Mark Carney acts on the ideas in our communique today, that it would take the wind right out of any effort.”

“If we can find some support from the federal government on that, I think that’s all that the people of Alberta have been looking for.”

She is 100% wrong.

That is not all the people of Alberta are looking for.

We want a vote that actually affects change. We can't have that in Canada which is dominated by Eastern populations.

We dont want unelected Senators for life having power over our laws. We want democratic power and nothing less.

We want a government that doesn't overspend and carry massive levels of debt, burdening our children and making it more difficult for them to afford any services in the future.

We can't have any of those if we remain sub-sovereign to Canada.

I don't know why Premier Smith insists that we stay under Canada's boot. But that is increasingly not the desire of Albertans. They are seeing the benefits of sovereignty!

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith said if Ottawa prioritized economic projects in the West, it would erode support for Alberta independence.

Jane Arden goes on Anti-Alberta Sovereignty rant here.

15/05/2025

Did Premier Smith really just announce another 'Fair Deal Panel' to try to negotiate with Ottawa?

Haven't we seen what a waste of time that is 100 times before already?

Is Premiere Smith Kenney 2.0?

In a passionate address to Albertans earlier this week, Premier Danielle Smith outlined her vision for Alberta's future within Canada, addressing the province's frustrations with federal policies and the ongoing tensions between Alberta and Ottawa.

Smith is looking more and more like she is not the right person to be leading Alberta...

All her Soverognry Act has done is nothing.

She is just waisting time filing with the Supreme Court.

All of these are useless. Window dressing. Lipstick on a pig.

Smith needs to stand up for Albertans or become the next All talk Kenney.

The idea of Alberta opting out of the Canada Pension Plan isn’t going anywhere -- at least for now.

You can choose Albertans deciding the laws, policies, and taxes in Alberta by choosing Alberta Sovereignty.

Or you can choose that those will be determined by people who live thousands of km away from Alberta.

The choice is yours: self determination or being a subject.

If it's country over province, let's make Alberta a country of our own and we can happily take that stance.
