Five years ago today, I was arrested, handcuffed and put in jail for a non-crime: opposing authoritarian measures against COVID. While the Conservative Party was hiding, the PPC was the ONLY party that stood firm against the COVID tyranny defending your fundamental freedoms. Today, the establishment politicians in Ottawa still don’t get it. But we remember.

Dear Albertans, For decades, Ottawa has treated your province not as an equal partner in Confederation, but as a subordinate and an ATM. The unfair equalization formula has taken your wealth for 61 years. You’ve sent billions of dollars and have never received a single penny back. In October 2021, 62% of you voted in a referendum to stop this wealth drain. And nobody is listening to you. Certainly not the Liberals. And not the Conservatives who take your vote for granted while doing nothing for you. You’re right to be enraged. Ottawa blocks your pipelines, strangles your energy sector, kills your jobs, and then demands your money. They want your wealth but deny you the means to earn more. I share your frustration. Now you have a chance to be heard. On October 19, you will answer a critical question:  “Should Alberta remain a province of Canada or should the Government of Alberta commence the legal process required under the Canadian Constitution to hold a binding provincial referendum on whether or not Alberta should separate from Canada?” You have two options: Should Alberta REMAIN a province, or COMMENCE the legal process to hold a binding referendum on separation?  The “Remain” option changes nothing. That’s the status quo. Alberta remains a colony of Ottawa’s imperial federalism.  That means allowing the federal government to continue interfering into provincial affairs with its unconstitutional laws, regulations and spending programs on sectors such as healthcare, natural resources development, education, and others.  That means pipelines being held hostage to costly carbon capture schemes, industrial carbon taxes killing your competitiveness, no equalization reform and zero control over immigration. The “Commence the legal process” option is the only way to a strong Alberta. Voting to start the legal process for a secession referendum launches genuine negotiations for greater autonomy for Alberta. It puts a knife to the throat of Ottawa’s establishment. It gives you bargaining power. Poilievre’s fake Conservatives and Carney’s Liberals will work together and promise you autonomy, just like they promised Quebec at the last referendum.  The result was the opposite, even with a very close 49/51% vote. More centralization and more trampling of provincial jurisdictions, including another bunch of unconstitutional federal programs created by Justin Trudeau in recent years: national daycare, pharmacare, dental care.  Don’t believe them. History shows Ottawa only listens when faced with a credible democratic threat to its authority. The federalist camp will lie and say a “Commence” vote means separation, and also untold catastrophes and the end of the world as we know it. That's not the case.  It’s a vote to start negotiations that could of course lead to separation, but not necessarily. It’s also a vote for an end to federal imperialism. A vote for autonomy, for fairness, for respect. As in Quebec, that’s very likely what the large majority of voters want in Alberta, and that’s what would be by far the best outcome for everyone. And to genuine Alberta separatists who want a more radical break anyway, I say: be patient. That debate comes later, after a strong “Commence” vote and possibly failed negotiations. The People’s Party of Canada stands with all of you who are fed up with the status quo and want a radical change, whether it’s radical decentralization – as my party has been proposing for years – or outright separation.  We support the “Commence” option. We believe in a united Canada, but unity cannot be forced through coercion and constitutional overreach. True unity requires respect for our Constitution. This is your moment Albertans. The time for decisive action is now.  But, let's be clear: Ottawa doesn’t listen to polite demands. It doesn’t listen to reason. It only listens to power.  Use your power. Vote to COMMENCE this legal process. Vote for a new beginning for you and the country.

We have numerous unemployed Canadians who are desperately seeking work in the midst of a recession, yet Ottawa wants to entice more foreign nationals to come to Canada and take our jobs. This is insane! Canada needs a FULL moratorium on immigration.

Looking back, who was sounding the alarm about this issue years ago? Not the establishment leaders. Only @MaximeBernier and the PPC warned Canadians about the impacts of mass immigration and continue to do so today 👇

We knew this and that is why we asked and are still asking for a moratorium on immigration in order to give priority to young Canadians.

Canadians simply have no time for gimmicks, political theatre or traditional politics. Only the @peoplespca possesses the ability to push for true conservative policy in Parliament, making it the only federal movement positioned to turn right wing principles into law.

Official Multiculturalism was meant to celebrate distinct Canadian common heritage, today many groups pushed by the act share no connection to Canada’s founding stock. It is not the governments role to promote and subsidize what has become a divisive ideology.

Canada’s most conservative politician, Danielle Smith, is playing dress-up and pandering. Are you fed up with identity politics? I certainly am!

Every sitting Conservative MP voted for Bill C-4. Every one. If you tried to stop your kid’s transition…off to prison. Same thing for any counsellor confronted with a transitioning kid. Prison. Voting wisely matters. Vote .@peoplespca next time.

65% of Canadians say Canada is accepting too many immigrants. Will Ottawa listen to the clear majority of Canadians, or prioritize migrant groups pushing for even higher levels? x.com/valdombre/status/20499…

Youth unemployment is over 14% and tens of thousands of jobs have been lost in recent months. Granting permanent residency to these temporary foreign workers is putting more pressure on an already weak job market. It’s time to put Canadians first! x.com/maximebernier/status/2…

In 2019, @MaximeBernier warned about growing separatism in Alberta & Quebec. Ottawa ignored our solutions and now we are witnessing the results. Today, the PPC is still the last hope to restore true federalism in Canada 🇨🇦 Watch: youtu.be/Qovr4dmq-9Y?si=u4ku…

The federal government must cut all funding to the University of Guelph until it respects the diversity of thought .
