@nationalpost If that is the case, it would be easier to run a Republic with citizens who are like minded.

Fewer than half of Albertans say they would stay in a newly independent province: poll nationalpost.com/news/alberta-q…

@DiePart2067428 @JeffreyRWRath @calgarysun That’s a funny rebuttal. It’s like you’re standing behind him, literally.

@CowboyTrail22 @JeffreyRWRath @calgarysun Yeah grow up. I suspect he blocked you. He does that.

Letters, June 3, 2026: 'Separatists need new voice at the top' calgarysun.com/opinion/letter…

I don't see anything changing anytime soon based on the tanker ban, 1st nation chiefs veto and 10-15 $ added on a barrel of oil in carbon tax regardless of the oil price. Danielle Smith is signing us on to a crappy deal or she's selling us out. I think she may have flipped sides - again. Liberals buy/bribe their opponents.

@ABDanielleSmith be reminded, we are not frustrated over just the last ten years. You have been told countless times by Albertans, we have been embittered by generations of Abuse! Speak the truth. Lastly, you have failed to support a clear question on a referendum. You will loss you career.

@cbcwatcher Its cost lives and not metaphorically speaking.

Smith during the presser today in Quebec "I think we have to be very clear that the people of my province are very upset with the way we've been treated for the last 10 years" "An example I gave in my speech was, imagine if an Alberta politician had come here and tried to shut down your hydroelectric business and say you couldn't develop your aluminum industry anymore." "That's what Stephen Guilbault did to our province, and that's the reason why people are so frustrated and why they lost hope." "It costs jobs, it cost economic growth. It cost us our ability to generate revenues to pay for the things that we care about." @ABDanielleSmith

On the left, a drug addict who was robbing a store high out of tree and resisted. Nobody cares if its a white guy tho. Cuz according to the left only Black lives matter right rather than all lives matter equally. Just more race baiting by rainbow phags

@JeffreyRWRath @calgarysun Premier Smith is a strategic tactician who masterfully plays the radical arm of the APP leadership. I will vote in the upcoming AGM to have her replaced while the founding members are hell bent on splitting the movement instead of patiently waiting for the AGM to run its course.

@CowboyTrail22 @calgarysun Grow up.

@CoryBMorgan It’s time for the 99% to have the “duty to consult” on FN’s funding. Hey Kamloops, we want our $12M back.

It's time to stop pretending we need their consent. Or nothing will ever get done. Ever.

@th71081 @JeffreyRWRath @calgarysun Educate yourself.

@CowboyTrail22 @JeffreyRWRath @calgarysun Bullshit. Either you vote independence or you don’t. Smith is one person. She does NOT represent an independent Alberta.

@JeffreyRWRath @CowboyTrail22 @calgarysun You know you’re splitting the UCP party. Name calling doesn’t work with conservatives. Name calling is what the left do . If the NDP win its on you.

@JeffreyRWRath @calgarysun This action will split the base and have the NDP come up the middle. If this happens, it’s on you. Ego 1-AB Separation 0

TO EVERYONE WHO WANTS TO “LEAD” THE ALBERTA INDEPENDENCE MOVEMENT and For all of the people that disagree with me and want me to shut up and go away I have this to say to you: Everybody has their own constituency. There are literally hundreds of thousands of my fellow Albertans who agree with me including my views on how badly @ABDanielleSmith has abused our trust and has lost the moral authority to lead the UCP, I will continue to speak to the people who agree with me and will continue to speak to the hundreds of thousands of Albertans I have been in contact with since I was involved in founding the Alberta Prosperity Project almost 5 years ago. I’ll be doing everything I can to encourage all of the people I’ve met over the last 5 years in Machine Shops, Equipment Barns, Community Halls, Churches, Rallies, Town Halls, Street Corners and gatherings to come out to vote. Vote to get rid of a dishonest UCP leader and vote to free Alberta from Canada. I will do this to make sure that the hundreds of thousands of people who agree with me on these issues to help replace the untrustworthy federalist leader of the UCP. A leader who has taken common cause with Nenshi, Carney, Kenney, Poilievre and Lukaszuk against Alberta. We will ALSO work to turn out to vote on the duplicitous referendum to have a referendum question in the event that we don’t succeed in replacing Danielle Smith and get a real referendum question before October 19th. My challenge to all of the putative independence leaders like @ikwilson , @CoryBMorgan, @BertaProudDad and others is to go find your own constituency and turn out your own voters. Dennis, Mitch and I along with the tens of thousands of APP volunteers have done our work and will do our work to turn out OUR voters. The challenge for you is to stop playing games, stop the back biting and whining over the views of thousands of UCP members on the moral failures of the leadership of the UCP and focus on identifying your own voters that we haven’t identified or spoken to yet. You all want to lead so bad, stop all the posturing and positioning and do the work. Find the middle third voters you claim that Jeff Rath alienates. Promise them that Jeff Rath will never run for or accept political office, because I have no intention to do so. I’m not a wannabe Premier or MLA like many of my critics. APP, Mitch and I will identify and deliver the 500,000 voters that we have identified so far and will build on our work. The challenge for all of the non APP independence leaders is to use the TPAs they set up to collect money to identify and deliver 200,000 new voters each. If they do this we will win. If they don’t. We won’t. It’s that simple. If we don’t win it will be they haven’t done THEIR work. We will determine once and for all who is a real leader as opposed to “controlled opposition”. If they are real leaders they will EACH identify and turn out 200,000 of their own new voters. If they don’t have real plans to do this as opposed to merely positioning themselves to lead the “transition” by poaching APP staff and volunteers they are not helping in a real or constructive way. If the vote fails in October it will be because all of the Danielle Smith supporting “independence leaders” didn’t do THEIR work and identify and deliver all of the voters that they claim to speak to. This won’t be on anybody involved with APP, Mitch or I. We’ve done our work. We will continue to do our work. It’s time for all of the critics to put up or shut up. Do the work. Identify NEW voters. Stop backbiting and criticizing people who have more than earned the right to lead and to set the strategic direction of the movement. Thank you for your attention to this message. God speed.

You are comparing a woman with a successful legal and political career to the President of the United States in an attempt to shame, mock, or disparage her, and yet you call yourselves progressive. For people who constantly speak about equity, inclusion, and empowering women, it is remarkable how quickly those principles disappear when a woman holds views you do not like. Apparently, some women are to be celebrated as strong and accomplished, while others are reduced to insults, stereotypes, and personal attacks. The victimhood and equity cards seem to be played only when they are politically convenient. You are not challenging her ideas. You are attempting to diminish her personally. That is not progressivism. It is hypocrisy. And I hope more people are starting to see it for what it is.

@davidicke If I didn’t have reason the despise the RCMP after the truckers convoy, the killing of hundreds of healthy ostriches, this definitely solidified it.

The level of control is getting insane. 8 billion people controlled down to fine detail by a relative handful because they allow themselves to be divided and thus ruled. Tragic.

@ryangerritsen Alberta can be come a Republic and the US can buy the rest of Canada for penny’s on the dollar. They can thank Carney, the economist guru for that.

The media just can’t stop.

@CoryBMorgan The site scan was done where the septic field was located. The first site dig will result in the discovery of Jack Shit. I guess I’d get 2 years in Millhaven for this?

The body count at the Kamloops residential school site remains at zero. I said it before, and I will say it again. I dare you to charge me. Then we will get some shovels out during the process of discovery.

@Aaronpete_ The day I can’t challenge facts is the day I become a criminal in the eyes of a corrupt Liberal government. Yes, I said it!

I'm prepared to go to jail over this. My grandmother Rita Pete went to St. Mary's Indian Residential School. She experienced terrible abuse. As a consequence, she struggled with alcohol use most of her life. My mother was born with FASD as a consequence of her using alcohol to cope with her trauma. I am Chief of my community Chawathil First Nation. I am working to address the longstanding impacts of these past policies through renovating homes, building new homes, creating childcare, and growing businesses through economic development. I have interviewed people who went to Indian Residential Schools. I have interviewed people who believe Indian Residential Schools were awful, horrible schools, meant to remove the Indian from the child. I've also interviewed people who believe they were well intended, generous investments by Canadian taxpayers meant to assimilate a society and had shortcomings. Like with many things, the history is dark, complicated, and with any policy that existed for a long time, across a whole country - there were different experiences. No one story tells us everything. No report shares the full experience of the individuals who went. No commentator today can disprove someone's lived experience with statistics. The path forward is not to criminalize speech, questions, or debate. The path forward is empathy for past attendees. The path forward is truth based on facts. The path forward is real conversations. The path forward is to lean into complexity. If the government criminalizes this, then I will be a criminal for having these conversations. If I am a criminal by the laws definition, then I am committed to going to jail over this.

@AreOhEssEyeEe Is that George Hamilton?

They allowed rapists, murderers, drug traffickers and sex traffickers to flood our country. Now their solution is total surveillance. People are begging for it and will thank the government for keeping them safe. It's almost like the Canadian Government did this on purpose.

@DavidVance @wade_bruntjen In Canada, just yesterday our government has introduced an amendment to Bill C-9 making it a 2 year jail sentence by negativity discussing First Nations issues. WTF?

What is the point of Parliament?

@wade_bruntjen @RiseOfAlberta I have the AI app but when asked to do video, informs me that it does “not do video”. I’m looking at different apps currently. It is a useful tool on refining the messaging content.

@CowboyTrail22 @RiseOfAlberta Ask Grok to help you at every step It will tell you every next step when you ask until you are happy with your finished videos and get a skill brush up at the same time.

You can't scare someone who's already done the math. #AlbertaIndependence
