Alberta Viewpoints

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...

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.

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.

The Federal Government sent a report to the Alberta Government about what Alberta's share of the CPP should be given that Albertans have been consistently overcontributing by a whopping 60%.

That is Albertans pay c. $8bn into the CPP each year and only receive c. $5bn each year.

No other province has this level of disparity.

Like equalization, the CPP takes funds from Albertans and pays them to Eastern Canadians.

The rest of Canada disagreed that Alberta is owed $334 bn of the CPP.

However, despite Alberta asking for what the Federal Government does think our share is, the report had no number, nor a method they think would calculate it.

Albertans have been waiting for half a year and received absolutely nothing.

That shouldn't be a surprise. Canada has never been transparent or honest when dealing with Alberta.

We cannot accept this.

The Alberta Government should press forward with a legal challenge to this bad faith treatment.

But it also shows we will never get honesty or fairness from Canada.

Albertans should support an APP regardless of what Canada does. We should go forward with it and fight for every dollar we can get.

Canada likely wont give us anything, let alone our fair share.

And that's how Canada has always treated Alberta.

It's best we go on our own than be in business with bad actors.

As expected, the federal government of Canada was not doing adequate fire prevention in Jasper Park. They did this due to their own political objections to controlled burning of deadwood. Thebareas of a forest that have significant deadwood become matchbooks in a fire scenario.

The restrictions and federal control of the national park also prevented Alberta from responding immediately and completely once the fire was in the park as well.

Albertans should demand that all National Parks in Alberta be put under the Alberta Government and become a Provincial Park. The federal government is negligent of our parks, but we love them.

We will take better care of them then the federal government ever will.
