Edmonton is and always will be a vital part of Canada. Premier Smith and the UCP Government's separatist agenda is catastrophic for Edmontonians, Albertans, and all Canadians.

Today, Mitch Sylvestre and the Stay Free Alberta team delivered roughly 301,000 signatures to Elections Alberta for our independence petition. Over the required threshold. Delivered in trucks. Delivered by people who actually believe in something bigger than the status quo. And yet, I see some of you out there feeling the weight of disappointment. I see the comments: “Only 301,000?” “Maybe it’s not enough.” Stop. Right now. Lift your heads. Because here’s the truth they don’t want you hearing: the Forever Canada petition did not require canvassers or identification. They ran a feel-good paper drive with verbal nods and quick sign-ups. No ID. No registered canvassers carrying official Elections Alberta credentials. Just warm bodies and hope. And now they wave their numbers like a victory flag. If they want to brag about raw volume, they’re free to run another signature campaign tomorrow. Let them do it the hard way this time. Let them register every canvasser, verify every address, and submit to the same rigorous, independent verification process our 301,000 signatures are about to face. We’ll wait. Because this isn’t a numbers game. This is a will game. Every single one of those 301,000 names was gathered by real Albertans who stood in the cold, knocked on doors, faced the doubters, and still signed anyway. We didn’t take the easy road. We took the honest one. And when Elections Alberta finishes their verification, those signatures will stand as ironclad proof that a growing, determined movement is done asking Ottawa for permission to exist. To every one of you feeling down right now: this is not the end. This is the spark. We are not asking for scraps at the federal table anymore. We are not begging for fairness from a system that has never given it. We are building the Alberta we want, one where our resources stay here, our laws serve us, our future belongs to our kids instead of career politicians 3,000 kilometres away. This fight has never been about one petition. It’s about who we are as a people. Tough. Resourceful. Unapologetic. We tamed this land. We built this province. And we will not let fear or slick marketing campaigns convince us that staying chained is somehow noble. So stand up. Dust off that disappointment. Turn it into fire. Share this with every Albertan you know who’s wavering. Tell them the real story. Tell them 301,000 verified signatures under strict rules is not weakness, it’s the beginning of something unstoppable. Tell them the referendum is coming. Tell them the choice is finally ours. We are not going backwards. We are Alberta. And Alberta is going forward on our own terms, with our own destiny. The fight isn’t over. It’s just getting started. Hold the line. Raise your voice. Fight for the Alberta you want. We’ve got this. Together. Forever Alberta.

Premier Danielle Smith said she's "envious" of Norway's sovereign wealth fund, now worth trillions despite being established later than Alberta's. Alberta invested $12B in the 1970s, but withdrawals kept the fund at $16.3B when Smith re-entered politics.

Dear Canadians, Please give Alberta one good reason why we should stay. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
