Why We Have Had it With Canada and are Seeking a Divorce

Alberta is staring down provincial deficits because they ship billions East while Ottawa suffocates their energy sector and overloads their local services with immigrants. They are literally paying them to punish Albertans.

Independence keeps their own wealth home to balance their our own books. Not buy Liberal votes in the East.

Ottawa's policies have cancelled over $670 billion in Albertan and Saskatchewan resource investment since 2015.

An independent prairie republic would attract investment, not chase it away.

Each year, Alberta sends significantly more to Ottawa than it receives back in federal spending and services. Estimates range between $15 and $27 billion annually.

This is not a one-time occurrence — it happens year after year.

Since 1960, the cumulative net contribution has been estimated at over $650 billion.

To put that into perspective:

$27 billion could fund approximately 135 new hospitals
It could eliminate property taxes for Albertans
It could provide free post-secondary education for a generation
These numbers are part of an ongoing national discussion about fiscal balance and provincial autonomy.

Damn good advice from a damned good premier.
