Josh

Hey James, appreciate you jumping in. The first petition hit a procedural snag on consultation fair point. That’s exactly why we pivoted. Rath put himself forward as legal counsel and a resource, and he’s done good work for First Nations in the past. That doesn’t change the core fact that this is a citizen led movement. The people of Alberta are driving it, not any single lawyer. Two judges, two rulings we get it. But every time the system blocks Albertans from even asking the question, more people wake up to the reality that Ottawa isn’t listening. That frustration isn’t “separatism leading us to disaster.” It’s the growing realization that self determination will be the only way Albertans will be able to protect our economy, our resources, and our future. We’re not getting “played.” We’re paying attention. I appreciate thee dialogue, you're an Albertan! Can you answer this? What do you see as the better path forward for Alberta?

Hey Josh, isn't it kinda weird that the first petition they tried to push through got rejected almost immediately because of the failure to consult. And Jeffery rath who has made his career from defending first nations and arguing for the requirement to consult didn't mention that even when they pushed through the second one knowing full well it was going to ultimately fail sooner or later?

It’s revealing to see Canada’s reaction to a Liberal appointed judge shutting down Alberta’s referendum. Legacy media has abandoned any pretense of journalism completely. It’s just the usual panel of liberal pundits echoing the same talking points. It’s actually quite entertaining. What this whole event has doine is show Albertans exactly how the rest of Canada views them! They want us to shut up, keep writing the cheques to Ottawa, and be grateful you’re Canadian. Most critics keep framing this as an oil and/or pipeline issue. What theyre missing is it’s not. It’s about self determination. That fundamental point is being completely ignored, and that’s exactly why support for the movement will keep growing. Frustrating as it is, this is actually helping and will benefit independance!

If you invest in Canada, then these guys own you. That's the message we're sending to outside capital. #cdnpoli

@xllenial is absolutely crushing it and her latest post is 100% on point. If we wait for the courts and get denied, it might actually be the best thing for the movement. Would that denial finally put more fuel on the fire and wake more Albertans up to the reality that self determination is our only real path forward?

Danielle Smith called out the truth. Alberta’s wealth has been drained for decades to fund provinces that vote against our interests. We are not a province in a fair federation. We are the ATM.

Imagine you have a child — a kid who’s incredibly resourceful and full of unlimited possibilities. Now imagine that child has siblings who constantly limit those possibilities. And imagine you’re the parent who allows it to happen, doing nothing to stop it. That child is Alberta

You should take a look and check the lists that these crazies put you on. Go to your profile → tap the More button → tap Lists. In the top right, hit the three dots. This will show you every list you're added to. If you want off the Lefty hate lists, just block the person who created it. That removes you instantly.

@JoshSmolt @ProfAvenarius I need to do that too. I was told this morning in a comment, that I look like I was molested by my father as a child🤯. The person has no profile description. Just a name. Prob a liberal hateful bott. I didn't reply. Have a good day Josh.

Albertans!!! We followed every BS rule the provincial system laid out… and still got completely screwed. Elections Alberta approved the independence petition on January 2, 2026. Thousands of brave Alberta volunteers, organized, badged and following strict rules were forced to start collecting signatures in the middle of the cold Alberta winter. They did it! For 4 straight months these dedicated Albertans stood outside in freezing conditions on the side of highways, in parking lots, and at store entrances because that’s what the process demanded. No online clicks. Physical signatures only, from real eligible voters. They smashed the requirement and delivered hundreds of thousands of signatures!!! Now the courts (with federal influence and treaty claims) are trying to kneecap the entire thing. This is what “CANADIAN DEMOCRACY” looks like!!! Make Albertans go through the process to have their voices heard… then move the goalposts when they actually succeed. Absolute bullshit. Alberta deserves way better than this!!! Get your @Alberta_UCP membership and lets turn this around! unitedconservative.ca/take-action/me…

@ManonIC6R We need to unite.

Bienvenue dans le club! Ils nous ont aussi fait le coup au Québec mais en plus dure.

Gregory! Is this just trolling now or are you being serious at this point.... If this is for real you’re still completely missing the point. The Alberta government didn’t “write out” the duty to consult. Bill 14 updated the rules for citizen petitions and Elections Alberta approved THIS petition on January 2, 2026 under the NEW law. The court ruling came AFTER that approval and is under appeal precisely because they’re trying to apply a duty to consult retroactively to a citizen initiative. Rath can have all the opinions he wants from his old cases. Doesn’t change the fact we followed the law that existed when we filed and when it was approved. You’re still mixing timelines and cases, Greg. It’s getting sad at this point. Please tell me all those children you taught are smarter than this… because I might have to start charging you tutoring fees.

@JoshSmolt The Alberta government thought they could just write out their duty to consult.........they can't. Your boy Rath made a living off of that fact.

YIKES 🤯 Another Company threatening to leave Canada if Bill C22 passes, the Authorized Access to Information Act. Windscribe - Canadian VPN company with over 100 million registered users 👀 Plus they call out TAXES in Canada & our corrupt government 👀 Good on them!

@AlbertaLeonidas @nobody_handmaid Well there is another option! Someone could organize a massive group of focused Albertans who want change and buy NDP memberships...

@nobody_handmaid they would prefer that to independence that is evil

UCP/Smith will tell us that if we want independence we will have to run a party and win an election on the issue, when they told us and the federal law claimed otherwise moving the goalposts is so LIB ps even if we get our own party and run an election the feds will not allow us to leave, peacefully

Your genuinely exhausting and I give you an F for effort! The citizen petition was approved by Elections Alberta on January 2, 2026. This was waaaay long before any voter-list controversy. Signature collection was physical signatures only, collected in person by volunteers, exactly as the law required at the time. The Centurion Project voter list issue is a separate investigation that has nothing to do with the validity of the signatures already verified under the rules that existed. I know, for some this is hard to understand... You keep conflating unrelated events, old rulings, and different groups while ignoring basic timelines and facts. That’s not critical thinking, that’s just cherry picking screenshots to fit your narrative. The province is appealing the ruling for exactly the reasons we’ve stated. Try reading the actual timeline next time

@JoshSmolt Also, you claim to have followed strict rules.......but, ignore the fact that your crew used private information it wasnt entitled to. .....and then lied about it.

Exhausting how you still can’t grasp a simple timeline. Pay attention, this is key! Elections Alberta approved this citizen petition on January 2, 2026 after Bill 14 updated the rules. The court ruling you’re quoting came AFTER that approval and is under appeal by the province. The Sylvestre/Feasby screenshot you keep posting was about a completely different question under the old rules. You’re mixing up timelines and cases. Facts still matter. The petition followed the law that existed when it was filed and approved.

@JoshSmolt It was unconstitutional from the get go, but your crew think the rules don't apply to them. ......and the most recent judge ruled that Elections Alberta approving the petition was unconstitutional. Even Rath disagrees with you.

@IgorRyltsev shows Carney would support a referendum!

CARNEY just gave $13 MILLION to the AFRICA Warehousing Facility, based in Luxembourg 👀 GET THIS, Kuramo Capital is the manager of the facility with very close ties to OBAMA, & SOROS has funded 2X Ignite Africa 👀 And last week, SOROS, Obama & Carney were together in Toronto

@Justasnowmexic1 @Doubletapp187 @JeffreyRWRath 300,000 of us in the NDP would be fantastic!

@Doubletapp187 @JeffreyRWRath Maybe we should flood the NDP too and rip them apart from the inside.

When 500 UCP members have a problem, it's their problem. But when 300,000 UCP members have a problem, it becomes the UCP’s problem. Dani said she would listen to cabinet and caucus, not the party. Let’s send her a clear message, shall we?

@soo_ceeQ OK Boomer... If our numbers are so low, why are you so terrified from 2,000 km away?

@JoshSmolt You're 11% out of 100% of your Province so sit down.

He/Him, Before you cite that SevenFiftyBlog post again, that’s about a completely different proposed question under the old rules, before Bill 14 changed the law. Elections Alberta approved this citizen petition on January 2, 2026 after the bill change. The province is appealing because the court is treating a citizen initiative like a government one and moving the goalposts after the fact. You’re a teacher! You should stay educated, not ill-informed. Rules should apply the same to everyone… even when you don’t like the outcome.

@JoshSmolt What did you think was going to happen when this is the guy leading the charge? A court had already determined the petition was unconstitutional......before it was released.

Some of my most recent haters. From left to right we have. Non-Binary T1000, Pedo Unicorn, Meghan the Lot Lizard, Jack & Jack. Who wins this Fatal Four Way??

300,000 people signed a petition for a vote. But a reserve with 33 people on it gets a veto, according to a Trudeau-appointed judge. Oh -- and their chief is literally an anti-oil activist on a foreign payroll. Source: torontosun.com/2014/01/17/fir…
