Albertans are tired of watching Ottawa dangle pipeline promises while attaching the very policies that make energy investment impossible.

As someone who supports Danielle Smith, it's frustrating to watch Mark Carney string her along with an MOU loaded with conditions that make sure nothing ever actually gets built in Alberta.

In an independent Alberta, we would be free to develop our natural resources without the Liberals' insane, radical climate agenda attached to every project.

Every year, Alberta sends billions more to Ottawa than it gets back.
An Independent Alberta would be an economic powerhouse.

Canada's economic model is producing some of the worst outcomes in the G7, while Alberta continues to produce the wealth, energy, and opportunity Ottawa depends on.
It's time for Alberta to choose independence.

The Carney government says they would honour a fifty percent plus one yes sovereignty vote in either Alberta or Quebec. This is surprising considering the Clarity Act sets the bar at sixty percent.

In the '90s, many car decals across the country proclaimed "My Canada includes Quebec." I haven't seen any equivalent "My Canada includes Alberta" decals. Have you?

I remember that before the 1995 referendum in Quebec. And no I have never seen a bumper sticker that reads "My Canada includes Alberta." I am sure I won't either.

We in central Canada do not understand this statement.

Norway left Sweden and built sovereign wealth. Slovakia and Czech Republic split and both thrived. Ireland broke free and became a tech and finance hub. Singapore with nothing became one of the world's richest nations.

Alberta has $14 trillion dollars in proven oil and gas reserves. A 400 billion dollar economy. More GDP than 150 countries.

The argument that Alberta can't do what dozens of others have done is unsupported by reality.

Since 1990, over 30 new nations have emerged. Independence isn't rare. It's a historical normality.

We are now awaiting the start of the official verification phase, which will determine whether the referendum question proceeds to a province-wide vote in October 2026. The months ahead will be critical as Albertans continue building momentum, raising awareness, and preparing for what could become one of the most important democratic moments in our province's history.
