From Parliament Hill to Pigeon Lake to Puerto Vallarta, and the places in between, I love meeting and talking with so many Albertans who see what’s going on and want to have their voices heard! The thousands of canvassers for @stayfreealberta are a dedicated bunch! #AlbertaIndependence

@HoCStaffer Only interest in the Straight of Hormuz now is because a Quebec company has “two Canadian ships” stuck in the Persian Gulf. Odd that they admitted “there are no Canadians among the 30 crew members on the ships, which are flying the flag of Barbados”.

Canada's Back.

Quebec company has “two Canadian ships” stuck, and then admits “there are no Canadians among the 30 crew members on the ships, which are flying the flag of Barbados”. 🤔 Is it normal for Canada to pretend to be Barbados and complete its international trade with foreign workers?

@KristinRaworth Did you even bother to read the bill before speaking against it? Thou dost protest too much, and your comment shows you didn’t read it. 🤦‍♂️

Respectfully Minister. When you are facing a terminal illness that is destroying your body from the inside out there is no hope. There is only the grace and peace that can come from choosing how you leave this life . I cannot understand why you are demonizing something that gives people agency over their own lives.

Alberta to ban doctors from bringing up MAID death options before their patients do nationalpost.com/news/canada/al…

BREAKING: Alberta introduces a bill restricting MAiD to cases where natural death is reasonably foreseeable within one-year Mental illness is not an acceptable case for MAID Danielle Smith is leading the country in Common Sense. WELL DONE I fully agree with this decision

Liberals just can't let it go & admit they were wrong to invoke the Emergencies Act. cbc.ca/news/politics/…

When is enough, enough? The Canadian experiment is failing. Courts at every level find the actions of the federal liberal government illegal, and yet they use taxpayer dollars to continue to thumb their nose at us. Time to move on. #AlbertaSeparation #AlbertaIndependence @stayfreealberta

Mark Carney‘s “new government“ is standing by Justin Trudeau‘s unconstitutional invocation of the Emergencies Act. He and Sean Fraser are appealing it to the Supreme Court. theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…

@JCCFCanada Didn’t see no food areas on Ash Wednesday, or fish only options on Fridays in Lent. 🤔

The Calgary public school board is doing damage control after an email circulating online revealed that some schools are enforcing “no-food” spaces during Ramadan. Some parents are asking: where does accommodation end? Should all students lose normal access to shared spaces to accommodate one group in a secular school system? While a multicultural society does need to accommodate different needs, some are asking if rearranging the entire lunch system is the best approach to achieve “tolerance”. calgaryherald.com/news/fairview-…

MILLET: There is a super convenient spot for you to sign the petition on this beautiful day! Look for John on the eastern side of hwy 2a. Please bring your government ID (one photo ID or 2 other pieces) and proof of physical address.

Looking for a place to sign the @stayfreealberta #AlbertaIndependence Petition? I am in Millet today on the side of Hwy 2A for the next several hours! Don’t miss out. 🖊️ 📝 #Wetaskiwin #Millet #Leduc

@JudyMaxB This is true, at the last pop-up signing event I did in Wetaskiwin, all signatures gathered were from indigenous citizens.

Alberta Status Indigenous are signing the Independence Petition by the thousands They know their standard of living will be far better than what they endure now. They get one vote each in the Referendum like every Albertan. The FN Chiefs do not speak for them

@Martyupnorth Indeed, I’m sorry to see your recent adventures. But we will persevere patiently and respectfully while those who oppose unwind themselves publicly.

@johnwtomkinson Amazing. I'll trade you places.

Another fun, excitement filled day canvassing. I got 12 signatures, Karen got 13, Les got 11, and Shaun on the other side of the highway got 30. We also had a super crazy lady who tried to run us over. Three RCMP cruisers came to our site, while she was still there. She got into her car, backed into the car behind her, drove away and swerved at the cops. They followed her down the highway, and I saw their lights come on. Pictures in the post below. Video later tonight. For now, I need to go to the gym and work off some stress. 1/

Do you agree that the Province of Alberta should cease to be a part of Canada to become an independent state?

For a long time I used to get discouraged when people attacked me personally because I support Alberta independence. They would mock me, call me names, and accuse me of all kinds of things. But eventually I realized something important. When people actually have strong arguments, they use them. They debate the issue. They explain their position. They challenge your reasoning. When they don’t have an argument, something different happens. They stop debating the idea and start attacking the person. That’s not an argument. That’s what people do when they run out of arguments. Once you understand that, the insults start to look very different. They stop being discouraging and start becoming a signal that something is changing. Look around Alberta right now. Ordinary people are out on the streets waving flags, collecting signatures, organizing events, and talking to their neighbours about the future of this province. Meanwhile many of the loudest critics are sitting behind anonymous social media accounts posting insults. Think about that contrast. One side is showing up in the real world. The other side is typing angry comments. When people start mocking instead of debating, it means they can feel the ground shifting beneath them. The Alberta independence movement is growing because it is powered by ordinary people who believe Albertans should have the right to decide our own future. And that idea is becoming harder and harder to dismiss. So when they mock us, it doesn’t discourage me anymore. It reminds me that we are asking questions they cannot easily answer.

@SkullSkates71 @stayfreealberta Clarity Act, SC 2000 c.26; “WHEREAS the government of any province of Canada is entitled to consult its population by referendum on any issue and is entitled to formulate the wording of its referendum question” Engaging democratic processes is not traitorous. Thanks anyways.

@johnwtomkinson @stayfreealberta You stand together as traitors to Canada.

Currently at the Airport in Puerto Vallarta, and it was wonderful to meet a new friend Jim and his wife who were also waiting for a flight home to Alberta! Albertans the world over are standing up and letting people know where they stand on #AlbertaIndependence @stayfreealberta

@darkshad9999 @stayfreealberta Clarity Act; “WHEREAS the government of any province of Canada is entitled to consult its population by referendum on any issue and is entitled to formulate the wording of its referendum question”

@johnwtomkinson @stayfreealberta calgaryherald.com/opinion/column… "The Clarity Act is supported by the Supreme Court of Canada, which in 1998 ruled that “no province has a legal right to separate on its own” and “there is no automatic right under international law for a province to separate.”

@cenobyte3 @stayfreealberta Are you suggesting or advocating for regional violence if a referendum on independence is successful?

@johnwtomkinson @stayfreealberta Fortress Edmonton will always be Canadian
