Danielle Smith says if the courts try to block Alberta's independence referendum in October. She's moving ahead with it anyways.

Quote from: Brent on April 13, 2026, 12:31:57 PMIs the fall referendum going ahead?

Hell yes.

Quote from: Herman on April 11, 2026, 07:00:38 PMA court has granted a stay on the citizens' initiative process, which means Elections Alberta is being prevented from counting the vote on the Alberta independence petition.

This was expected. As many Albertans understand, too many judges in this province are appointed by Ottawa and do not act in the interests of Alberta.

What matters is this: the ruling does not stop Stay Free Alberta from continuing to gather signatures, and signatures can still be collected through May 2.
The independence movement prepared for this possibility.

There are still multiple paths forward. One option is for an independent third party to verify the signatures and present the results to the Premier as proof of the democratic mandate Albertans have given for a referendum.
This movement will not be derailed by activist judges.

As Conman Carney gains power, Alberta separatists say it's fueling their movement. Petitions are growing fast—and frustration in the West is boiling over.

Liberal appoionted judges in Alberta halted the petition campaign. I don't know what happens froms here for the Yes side.

 

Trump is a God to Liberals, they literally think he can do anything and is involved in everything. They Hail God-Emperor Trump!

Rumours are circulating that up to ten Conservative MPs may cross the floor to the Liberals.
The federal system is beyond saving. Alberta and Saskatchewan's only hope is independence.

The BC NDP are scum.

Alberta and Saskatchewan won't be another piece on the globalist chessboard.
Our country will stand for freedom, self-determination, and prosperity for the people who actually call it home.

Quebec has operated its own pension plan completely separate from the Canada Pension Plan. They have been doing this since 1966.

The Quebec Pension Plan covers the same retirement needs as CPP, but is managed locally, invests in Quebec's economy, and has consistently delivered competitive benefits.

Alberta has been studying a similar model. Early analysis suggests that if Alberta established its own pension plan, Albertans could receive equal or better benefits at lower contribution rates, because Alberta's workforce is younger and higher-earning than the national average, meaning we contribute more to CPP than we proportionally draw out.
