This was a great rally, and the movement is growing.

If you're an Albertan, inform yourself.

There really is no other choice.

I listened to a recent podcast with Jason Kenney. Once I got past his right wing extremism rants, and he got into the discussion of Carney, the policies, the talk, the no action, the control of Ottawa he's convinced me Independence is the answer.

Indeed...

Canada has left you no choice.

So Jealous

Worse...

Stuck in a Province with terrible supposed "leadership" from a joke who is certainly no leader.

It gets worse by the day not only for you but for Canada and now Ontario has once again shown it has its own rather large enemy from within its own borders.

One farce by the name of Doug Ford aka BOZO FRAUD.

I can't believe some of the issues I continually read about happening in Ontario. Teachers, school boards, municipal governments, and of course the amazing antics and member of "Team Canada", Liberal Premier Ford. But with no leadership from the Elbows Up Regime its a free for all.

Albertans already have it much better than what it sounds like Ontarians are dealing with, but Alberta will get so much stronger through Independence.

There's a longing for the same freedom for many thousands in B.C. We have a cousin here to Ottawa. This fringe is rotten to the core. I'll bet WAC Bennet is turning in his grave to see what has become of this once great province.

Congratulations Alberta! Thrilled to see someone - anyone - stand up to Ottawa. Hasn't happened since the Truckers Freedom Convoy.

Even as an Ontarian, Ottawa born and raised, you've got meyfull support.

Best of luck and stay strong.

There are protests happening at the Universal Ostrich Farm in Edgewood, BC to save the ostriches BUT, MORE IMPORTANTLY, to show/tell us how the government is authoritarian and the over reach is astounding. We all should be worried. VERY WORRIED.

You are absolutely correct, it is a show of force and must be rejected. The Government control of the media restricts the information the Gov. doesn't want you to know and denies the truth. SO, how do we get the general population to listen to sources other than the habitual media they listen to without thinking?!

I like Don's approach.... gift independent media for Christmas. I keep trying to influence my eastern friends on FB. I get mostly crickets from them. It is difficult to change people's habits.

thanks...and ya..we seem to get more set in our ways the older we get..having said that..boomers..and the generation after them (GenX) ? have gone thru massive changes in a very short time frame!!..especially the advances in technology..when I was a kid in Almonte, we picked up the phone..waited for the operator..told her the number we needed..and they'd connect us..and now, look what we can do with a wireless "phone" thats the size of a small wallet!!! ...so most of us adapted pretty quickly to the new-fanglled shit thrown at us, I think...🤣

I am from northern BC, and I openly admit I am jealous of the independence movement in AB. I know many northern BC conservative residents whom feel the same as I do, but I also know many northern BC conservative residents that claim to hate Trump and think AB is wrong for wanting Independence. I say "Go AB Go" and I will support your independence and I strive to move to AB, but I have a family whom do not agree with me and it is hard to leave the beauty of Northern BC. So I guess I am stuck between a rock and a hard place. I am continually trying to explain to people that this is the right thing to do for freedom and sovereignty. I can only hope many more northern BC residents agree and we can come and join AB, we can offer a direct line to tidewater. Come on Northern BC, get on the train with AB, our future in Canada is bleak at best!

I hear you. I'm in Langley and there are a lot of people here who feel that way too, but there are also many who still believe the whole "orange man bad" story. I lived in Alberta for half of my life to date and although I left for the milder climate of the lower mainland 11 years ago, I am seriously thinking about moving back.

I'm certain that the Rez School Overblown scandal was intended as not just a major distraction that gave Canada a black eye around the globe, but to cause more division throughout the country..all this bullshit in the push for power and control..it was always CBC reporting that natives were all against pipelines and energy production in their lands..but in reality, they own and run many of the newer energy production projects in Northern Alberta..

Truly a wake-up call for Ottawa to act quickly and repeal the resource killing Legislation so Alberta can unleash its full potential and make Canada an energy powerhouse. Unfortunately for all of us, Carneys’ unspoken green agenda will shadow any chance of this happening. Bye bye Alberta.

OntArWeOwe needs a huge enema from both Ottawa and also from BOZO FRAUD aka Doug Ford so perhaps as a start we can figure out a way to separate from Premier BOZO who now truly shows he is indeed a clown.

Expand full comment
William Stewart's avatar

Because he is a disgusting Premier so easy.

There can no longer be any discussions with Fraud.

It is well known in the "inner circles" that Fraud takes care of his buddies first.

There is ample evidence of that one since he took power so why does that make him better then Trump?

Pretty simple really.

He is not a Conservative.. Not even close.

Perhaps a classic Liberal but those who are still around in my family most of which are/were classic Liberals and who have not voted that way for a long time despise him.

It will be a real shame and sad if Alberta spit, however, I think they have justified reasons for their decision. Alberta has been unjustly punished and have been treated unfairly for years. Compared to how Quebec is treated. Quebec not allowing a pipeline yet gladly accept the billions of transfer payments mainly from Alberta is outrageous. Having lived in Quebec, the underground economy (cash system) is out of control which is why family incomes are lower because the cash isn't claimed. If Quebec was located where Newfoundland is located, they would be long gone.

QC also gets about 80% of it's propane, which many use for heating, from AB. I say, shut that down ASAP. Winter is coming.....

I'll be sorry to see you go but I totally don't blame you. I'm jealous living here in ON. I have family here, so can't leave. But it's going to get really bad with Comrad Carney in charge. Can't believe I'm in a state where I fear our repressive gov't.

If anyone will lead your province to prosperity and independence it will be your amazing premier, Smith.

Hard work and dedication to achieving my goals have provided me, and a multitude of others, with a life of happiness and satisfaction. I am beyond thankful to look back on these great years! Now fast forward to what we are facing today in a “once most enviable country in the world”!!

The internal despair, sadness and yes anger…….that we are somehow being forced to sit and watch……an evil freewheeling, corrupt globalist tear Canada apart for his own personal gains, is tough, very tough! For the many Canadians retired or close to it who have contributed greatness to Canada, it is beyond comprehension to watch it all disappear because of a few very corrupt and evil people.

I agree. I feel very sad for my father ( who has passed) who lived his whole life in Canada and fought in WW11 for our country. He would be so angry to see what's happening in the Federal government and how they have destroyed our country. All my support behind the AB movement.
