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.

Since the time of the Magna Carta in 1215, the foundational principle of "no taxation without representation" existed in the British empire. Canada has gone astray.
In Alberta we have a situation where we are forced in taxation without fair representation. Pierre has already said he refuses to open the constitution to give us fair seats in both the senate and the house. This in my mind is reason enough to leave, let alone them bleeding us dry through equalization, kneecapping our industry and calling us dirty redneck traitor crybabies for asking for fairness in confederation. Canada is failing quickly and Alberta's long over due independence must happen. This may also be the only thing that could help bring real and meaningful change to the rest of Canada as well. Separation or Bust.

I will vote to vote. The status quo is no longer acceptable. (It never was, but we have been "nice" and patient up till now)
Albertans should approach the Oct 19 referendum fairly, calmly, and with clear eyes. This is not about anger or division. It is about whether Alberta can keep accepting a federal system that too often treats our province as a source of revenue rather than an equal partner. For decades, Ottawa has held Alberta back through policies that discourage investment, obstruct responsible resource development, and harm the prosperity that supports jobs, families, and public services. Albertans have tried elections, negotiations, court challenges, and constitutional arguments, yet the unfairness continues. That is why I believe Albertans should vote for Option 2 on Oct. 19. It is a democratic way to say the status quo is no longer acceptable. If Ottawa will not treat Alberta fairly, Albertans must be prepared to stand up for our economy, our future, and our right to decide what comes next.

The ever fearless Canadian leader and representative is in Ireland declaring the crisis of climate change. I imagine it is hotter there these days with all the building fires from the government protests following years of unchecked immigration tearing apart the social fabric.
Carney: Climate change is no longer a warning, it's here.

Before the last Federal Election, I was a strong supporter of keeping Canada together. I was one of the people who was pushing back against Alberta Independence. I really thought Canada could start moving in a better direction, with new leadership. Then the election happened, and the realization finally hit me. The Liberals have perverted the demographics so severely, that they will never lose another Federal Election. Canada was never intended to be a dictatorship, but here we are. So I could either support that, or I could support Alberta Independence. I chose Alberta Independence.❤️

From Milk River to the borders of Alberta, the spirit cannot be broken.🌲🚜 Standing hand-in-hand in a human chain of absolute defiance against Liberal federal overreach, proving that the true heart of Albertan independence is strong. Freedom will always outlast their tyranny🇨🇦🔥

🇨🇦 Canada didn’t run out of oil. It made oil shameful. Canada didn’t run out of land. It made building impossible. Canada didn’t run out of workers. It made hiring unaffordable. Canada didn’t run out of money. It redistributed until nothing was left to invest. This is what managed decline looks like from the inside. 🇨🇦📉 #cdnpoli #Canada

Went for a hike today. Independence is a long fight, so it’s good to get outside and remember what Alberta is all about.

What happens if Alberta votes to leave Canada? The answer is not chaos. It’s negotiation. National parks. Military bases. CPP contributions. Federal assets. Debt. Land. Jurisdiction. Everything would be put on the table.

I thought racial segregation was dead. Apparently it looks like it’s making a strong comeback in Canada thanks to identity politics and woke rulings. Do we need new water fountains for different people? This won’t end well, we’ve already seen the movie.

A picture is worth a thousand words, or it’s worth approx $650-700 billion in total net financial transfers since 1961. 🤔

Canadian media is ridiculous. He is a Canadian who went to greener pastures that encourage innovation and reward entrepreneurial risk taking. Governments buy what he makes. He succeeded and you need to bash him to soothe your ego. How much of CTV’s wealth comes from government?
How much of Musk’s wealth comes from government help? Virtually all of it ctvnews.ca/world/article/how…

There you go. The United States is built on a limitless ethos of entrepreneurship, innovation, and excellence. Canada is built on feminized and "empathetic" parasitic taxation fuelled by envy and resentment toward those who produce.
JUST IN🚨: SpaceX is now worth more than Canada.

Canada is broken. The Tsetsaut / Skii km Lax Ha Nation is incorporated as the "Tsetsaut Consultation Society". This "consultation society" stopped and vetoed a $1.2 Billion gold mine project by lawfare claiming it wasn’t consulted enough using section 35 of the Charter. They are not a Band recognized by the government. They have no treaty or agreements. They have 30 members. The decision was made supporting the non-FN Band by Trudeau’s Liberal federal government appointed "judge" Emily Burke. It appears to be extortion enabled by the Canada’s federal government. It is easy to see why Canadians have no faith in the judicial system, and why the BC independence movement is growing now too!
We now must consult imaginary bands. Canada is so broken.
