Charlie Angus calls for an investigation into Alberta separatists meeting with US State Department officials: The most serious threat to Canada is coming from the White House.

I used to be a federalist. I used to believe in Canada. I love what Canada once was. On the wall in my office is my Canadian Armed Forces Officer Commissioning Scroll, and a copy of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. But the Canada of today is not the Canada I grew up in. It is no longer the nation I stood up for. Canadians rights have been disregarded. Democracy has become just a byword, not what citizens can expect and aspire to without a fight. Ideology has replaced equality and justice. Families are under attack. Over the past year I have examined the facts. I stepped back to self examine my own biases. I looked behind the curtain of the Canadian government press releases and media "reporting". What I found was a broken nation, its heart and soul gone, its character reduced to identity politics and forced unequal wealth redistribution. Scandals. Dishonesty. Empathetic suicide. Self destructive economic policies. In my recent advocacy for an Alberta referendum to give everyone a voice, I have been slandered, attacked, threatened, and received such vulgar responses from federalists that it is truly shocking and heartbreaking. But seeing how far Canada has fallen, it is not surprising. It validates the point that the Canadian experiment has failed. Today my Canadian Armed Forces Officer Commissioning Scroll, and a copy of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms are still on my office wall as a historical record. Today I support Alberta Independence. Today I grieve a lost and destroyed Canada. I miss what Canada once was, but it is time to dust ourselves off, stand up again, and move forward. On October 19th, vote for a brighter future. Vote for Option 2.

That’s not even close to the whole story. For most of us, one, two, three, or even ten pipelines changes nothing. When oil crashed in 2014, the industry had tens of thousands of layoffs. The province was hurting but there were signs of hope: Northern Gateway, Energy East, and TMX. Northern Gateway had its approval cancelled by Trudeau. Energy East was cancelled because Ottawa wanted to count upstream and downstream emissions, which put the project on shaky ground. But the coup de grace came when Québec’s prime minister at the time, François Legault said that there was “no social acceptability for a pipeline.” TC cancelled it shortly after. Finally, we fought over TMX because Ottawa wouldn’t assert its jurisdiction. Trudeau let Horgan and BC make it so risky to try to build TMX that Kinder Morgan had to pull out. Nobody wanted the federal government to buy the pipeline, they should have simply enforced the conditions to ensure it was safe for Kinder Morgan to proceed. Albertans had stayed quiet for a long time over equalization because Ottawa was staying out of our faces, so it was just the price to pay to operate in this country. But when came time to help Alberta after the oil crash, the whole nation turned its back on us and proceeded to crush the three beacons of hope we were counting on to turn the corner. That’s when a lot of us started paying closer attention to politics to figure out how to get our voices heard. It didn’t take very long before we started looking at seats in the House of Commons and the Senate and realizing how unequal and unfair our representation is in Ottawa. Bottom line is that we’re effectively screwed and that the people we subsidize through equalization continuously vote for governments that attack our industry. Fixing the constitutional mess is impossible because it would require either Ontario or Québec and all the maritime provinces to vote in favour of curtailing their own political power. It will never happen. In 2019, we figured that Canada was going to be smart enough to realize that Trudeau was a disaster and we’d get back some common sense. Wrong. Trudeau was voted in for a second time. If you were in the oil and gas industry at the time, you probably had your first taste of western alienation with the Wexit movement instantly polling above 30% in support of independence. Next up is covid and that’s when all hell broke loose with the spending, the OIC to prohibit common guns, etc. Albertans’ living standards were the most impacted by Trudeau and now Carney’s insane deficit spending. We watched as Trudeau pranced around on the world stage, virtue-signalling with our money while the cost of living was sky rocketing. In FY 2024-2025, we watched the Liberals send $13B abroad between gender equality and climate change foreign aid, while running a $36.3B deficit. We had one last hope with Pierre looking like he was going to get elected and stop the bleeding. But they parachuted Carney in and the rest is history. The country’s finances are in shambles and it would take 3 generations to fix this mess if we started today by doing the obvious, which Ottawa is still refusing to do. Ottawa is fiscally irresponsible and now headed down a very dangerous path of authoritarianism with all the bills that were passed in this parliamentary session. Alberta independence supporters see the writing on the wall and don’t care about any number of pipelines. Once you’ve looked close enough at the system, you realize it can’t be fixed and there’s no coming back from realizing the true extent of the mess Canada is in. The Canada we grew up in doesn’t exist anymore. It is a sinking ship and independence is the only way to save Alberta.

Jason Markusoff on an Alberta judge quashing a petition for a separation referendum: "They had a duty to consult [First Nations]. They did not consult before issuing this petition. Therefore this petition, the 300k signature petition that had been presented just last week -- that's been quashed."

Former Alberta premier Jason Kenney says he thinks hardcore separatists in his province are in the "single digits," and the rest of the movement is made up of "frustrated federalists who know separatism doesn't work...but they want to send a message"
