Alberta4All 4 an Alberta Renewal

Danielle Smith promotes the federal MOU like an “olive branch.” Let’s be honest: it’s poison hidden inside the fruit. More carbon taxes extracted from Alberta families in return for non-binding “maybes” on pipelines. Classic Ottawa trap. Enough is enough. We got lured in and played, and have been since 1905. A Leadership Review is democracy at its finest to allow UCP members and all Albertans debate and hear an Alberta First bold vision vs the Westminster-Style Ottawa-First status quo. #AlbertaFirst #AlbertaRenewal #AlbertaStrong #CitizenDividend

Just remember: Polls from CBC, Global, CTV et al, all bought and paid for by the Ottawa-First federal government.

The carbon tax takes from Albertans. The Alberta-First Renewal gives back: a Citizen Resource Dividend as direct Ownership of our resources. Eliminate the carbon tax drag and watch Prosperity grow. This is Alberta First in action. UCP members and all Albertans deserve to evaluate this alternative at a head-to-head debate of the Alberta-First bold vision vs the Smith Ottawa-First status quo. Initiate the Leadership Review. #CitizenDividend #AlbertaRenewal #AlbertaFirst #AlbertaStrong #NOTndp

With the voters of (UCP) party, it is 48 % to GO for an independent Alberta. 44 %of UCP voters feel Alberta should remain part of Canada. Yup. More UCP members want liberty, freedom and change. #ableg

Danielle Smith was sold the MOU as an "olive branch" from Ottawa. It’s actually a Trojan Horse: more carbon taxes on Albertans in exchange for vague “maybes” on pipelines that will never get built. Hollow promises that put Ottawa back in the driver’s seat. Time to cancel this deal. Albertans First means real ownership, not more negotiations that weaken us. #AlbertaFirst #AlbertaRenewal #AlbertaStrong #CitizenDividend #NOTndp #LeadershipReview

While deficits grow and healthcare costs explode, imagine every Albertan receiving a Citizen Resource Dividend from our resources while we get our Alberta back under our control, not Ottawa's. It's time to put Albertans First. First before government and the institutions. $1/barrel base + bonuses = direct ownership in Alberta’s wealth into your pocket. No more symbolic fights, just real results for families. A Leadership Review lets UCP members and all Albertans choose bolder Renewal vs the status quo. #AlbertaRenewal #AlbertaFirst #AlbertaStrong #CitizenDividend #NOTndp

While Kenney spreads fear, an Alberta-First bold vision builds hope. ✅ Citizen Resource Dividend ✅ Renewal to fix healthcare & bureaucracy ✅ Sustainable Alberta-First policies This is how we achieve real self-determination without the chaos. UCP members and all Albertans deserve to see this alternative at the Leadership Review. Alberta’s wealth, back in Albertans’ hands. Renewal. Ownership. Prosperity. #AlbertaFirst #AlbertaRenewal #AlbertaStrong #CitizenDividend

Alberta has an Ottawa problem. Alberta has an Ottawa problem. These are the words of Danielle Smith. We know this and Danielle has been great at identifying the problems, thank you, but the proof is in the lack of results. Alberta now has a Danielle problem. A Leadership Review is imperative to show a real Alberta-First bold vision that actually take it from here and deliver the results for Albertans, not an Ottawa-First status quo. We need an Alberta-First team who will just say NO to Ottawa. #AlbertaFirst #AlbertaRenewal #AlbertaStrong #CitizenDividend

Correction. Nate Horner, not Mickey Amery

I'd been saying for some time that Albertans need a Dr. No in the finance position and that Horner had to be replaced. That didn't happen. Until now that we have exploded budgets, deficits and more debt. Now, instead of a Dr. No we have Dr. "No Idea How to Fix it" Nixon. When will we get an Alberta government that does the right thing? When we get an Alberta-First agenda and team that just says NO to Ottawa and delivers real results that puts money in Alberta's pockets, not Ottawa-First initiatives. #CitizenDividend #AlbertaRenewal #AlbertaFirst #AlbertaStrong

Another example duly noted by Jason Lavigne why Jason Kenney was removed. It’s time for a Leadership Review. Smith identified the issues and made promises but hasn’t delivered results. It’s time for a team of true Albertans to deliver for Albertans what past and present Premiers can’t get done.

For too long, Alberta’s wealth has been talked about but not put back in your pocket. We’re done with symbolism. Coming soon on the new Alberta Renewal site, bold initial policy ideas, starting with a Citizen Resource Dividend that actually returns our oil wealth directly to Albertans. Stay tuned. #RenewalOwnershipProsperity #AlbertaRenewal #AlbertaFirstAgenda #AlbertaStrong #CitizenDividend

When all people unite behind an Alberta of Renewal, Opportunity and Prosperity the sky is the limit.

Truth: Federal assets in Alberta were funded by a province that props up Confederation. Fair division in sovereignty talks isn’t radical, it’s arithmetic. Independence risks exist, but so does staying trapped in a failing system., especially when the risks outweigh the benefits. An Alberta-First bold vision charts the smart middle path: Albertans First with tangible Ownership and results, with a team to get it done for Albertans. No magic wand needed — just strong leadership. A Leadership Review is the democratic approach for UCP members and all Albertans to debate an Alberta-First vision vs an Ottawa-First status quo. #AlbertaRenewal #AlbertaStrong #CitizenDividend #AlbertaFirst

Jason Nixon is the new Finance Minister, but after Nate Horner’s tenure of exploding healthcare spending and deficits, Albertans have every reason to worry. Nixon doesn’t bring the decisive experience to fix what Smith promised to solve. Relying on the usual experts won’t deliver Alberta First results. Renewal. Ownership. Prosperity. An Alberta-First path to make our government a true Alberta government that will put Albertans First and money back in your pocket that your family really needs, and simply say NO to Ottawa. A Leadership Review will give all Albertans a choice between the status-quo Ottawa-First and a bold Alberta-First Albertan alternative. #RenewalForAlberta #AlbertaFirst #AlbertaStrong #CitizenDividend

Danielle Smith just replaced Mickey Amery with Jason Nixon as Finance Minister, but Alberta’s budgets exploded under Amery and the core problems remain. Nixon lacks the bold experience needed to rein in exploding healthcare costs, deficits & rising debt. Let's not forget to mention he's a Kenney-ite, and let's not forget he was at the sky palace. Can we really afford to have to have a finance minister with no real finance experience? He’ll likely lean on the same ‘experts’ who got us here, Ottawa-First experts and that's a leadership problem at a core level for fiscal responsibility. I'm sure the business community can see the issue, but it looks like Smith can't. Time for real Renewal. A Leadership Review can bring forward an Alberta-First approach to allow Albertans to decide what's best for Albertans vs status quo Ottawa-First approach #UCPReview #AlbertaRenewal #AlbertaFirst #AlbertaStrong #CitizenDividend

Danielle Smith fought hard against Ottawa. We respect that. She's been effective at identifying the problems but hasn't delivered the results. After years in power, we still don’t have real Ownership of our resources in Albertans’ pockets, nor the bold Renewal needed to fix healthcare and bureaucracy, out of control budgets, higher property taxes leaving Albertans no better off, built-in Ottawa-First MOU carbon taxes that the rest of the world has abandoned, and now to suggest a $400 billion bill for a national government in Alberta for autonomy when we don't need one? All we need is to get going with a new and renewed Alberta-First approach that will first put in place full autonomy for starters. A Leadership Review at the AGM is a healthy chance for UCP members and all Albertans to explore stronger paths vs the status quo with an Alberta-First approach that puts money in Albertans' pockets first. #UCP #AlbertaFirst #AlbertaStrong #AlbertaRenewal #CitizenDividend

Let’s be clear. Danielle Smith pledged her allegiance to the King which is Ottawa First, not Alberta-First (see below) Her latest $400 billion fake media blunder on top of the higher carbon tax MOU clearly shows she has tied her wagon to Ottawa and is willing to lie to show her allegiance to the King. An Alberta First government will have all elected officials first pledge their allegiance to Albertans who they serve. A Leadership Review gives Albertans the opportunity to debate and choose between Ottawa First status quo and a bold Alberta First vision. #AlbertaRenewal #AlbertaFirst #AlbertaStrong #CitizenDividend

For too long, Alberta’s wealth has been talked about but not put back in your pocket. We’re done with symbolism. Coming soon on the new Alberta Renewal site: Bold initial policy ideas — starting with a Citizen Resource Dividend that actually returns our oil wealth directly to Albertans, FIRST.

I saw this list and developed another list for Albertans. Reasons Alberta Struggles Under Ottawa-First Confederation (Even a determined Premier can identify the problems, but the system prevents real delivery) Structural Power Imbalance Confederation’s Westminster system concentrates power in Ottawa. Provincial Premiers, no matter how strong, operate within federal rules, courts, and constitutional constraints that favor central authority over provincial self-determination, not in the interest of Albertans proven time and time again. Alberta’s Resource Wealth Extracted Alberta’s oil, gas, and natural resources generate massive federal revenues through taxes, equalization, and carbon pricing, yet Albertans see limited direct ownership. Ottawa decides how much stays and comes back, not Alberta. Albertans more and more see NO BENEFIT from their efforts, just higher taxes or shell games taking from Peter to pay Paul. Unfulfilled Autonomy Promises Even Premiers who campaign on Alberta Pension Plan (that Quebec already has), stronger Bill of Rights (bodily autonomy), provincial police, or resource sovereignty deliver only MOUs and incremental talks with a massive carbon tax that stifles/kills Alberta's long-term prosperity. The system rewards negotiation with no result. Federal Control Over Immigration & Demographics Ottawa sets immigration levels that strain Alberta’s housing, healthcare, and budgets. Provinces have limited tools to align inflows with local capacity, leading to exploding costs despite provincial frustration. Fiscal Trap: Deficits, Debt & Equalization Alberta runs deficits and rising debt while sending billions eastward. Campaign promises of fiscal conservatism collide with federal rules, shared programs, and political pressure that prevent true conservative discipline. Legal & Institutional Roadblocks Courts, Constitution, Indigenous consultation requirements, and federal oversight block bold moves (e.g., referendums, sovereignty acts). 300,000+ signatures can be collected, but delivery is diluted, delayed or outright ignored. Carbon Tax & Policy Capture Federal carbon tax directly reduces Alberta families’ potential prosperity. Premiers can criticize it, but remain entangled in national deals (CUSMA, etc.) that prioritize Ottawa’s agenda over Alberta’s energy heartland. Incrementalism by Design The Confederation model favors slow compromise and elite negotiation. Strong Alberta Premiers identify Ottawa-First problems clearly, but the system turns bold vision into weak MOUs and symbolic fights. Who loses? Albertans since 1905. Limits on Democratic Will Even with strong grassroots support for autonomy, party discipline, Senate irrelevance, and federal override powers blunt provincial action. Albertans’ priorities get filtered through Ottawa’s lens. Deep Systemic Ties That Bind Currency, banking, trade routes, defense, and pensions are tied to federal institutions. Exiting or meaningfully reforming these carries real costs, costs that keep even reform-minded Premiers trapped in Confederation’s incremental orbit. Having said that once an Alberta government says no and forms our own government, the resources to fund these institutions and create our own is overall more than profitable and hands federal taxes today, back to Albertans tomorrow. Bottom Line: A good Premier can fight Ottawa. But under the current Confederation structure, they cannot consistently deliver Ownership of our resources, Renewal of government, or lasting Prosperity for Albertans. This is why Alberta needs Renewal. Ownership. Prosperity. — an Alberta First agenda with true Albertans who are committed and focused on practical Alberta-First results, not more unfulfilled promises. A Leadership Review can put a serious Alberta-First alternative on the table vs the Ottawa-First vision to allow UCP members and all Albertans an opportunity to see the debate and merits to allow them to decide what's in Albertans' interest, not the political elite. #AlbertaRenewal #AlbertaFirst #CitizenDividend #AlbertaStrong
