Follow the money. That's the mandate behind TRACE — our AI-powered review of Alberta's contracts and expenditures. In one test, AI traced circular funding through 80,000+ charities across 3.2 septillion possible paths. In under 90 minutes.
On April 29, we're taking this to Ottawa. Every province should benefit from what Alberta has built.

So many Conservatives have crossed the aisle that the a special election tipped the Canadian Liberal party into a majority.
US Dems could learn a lot from Carney.
Very 90s style Democrat.
Pro business & economy. Is not performative about his values, but if you come after those rights, he will fuck you up.
And he is able to build coalitions on sensible policy because he doesn’t stick to hardline populist talking points that are “all or nothing” he is willing to always set the expectation of achieving a middle ground that moves things forward, rather than getting nothing by pursuing absolutism.

CBC News reports that Canadian Prime Minister Carney has gained a parliamentary majority following a special election victory.

After 4 hours this video was dead in the water. it had 30 RTS and was not getting more, I did a simple hail mary RT, one RT that's it. It's about to crack 1300 rts and 600 bookmarks.
A simple retweet can go miles.
Psyche the logical warfare@CobainRift
I worked all morning and afternoon to make this to show Chinas grip on Canada and Carneys decent to the new world order. If this doesn't wake up every Canadian I don't know what will. Please make it go viral! The most important 12 minutes for any Canadian!

Grok says the chance of Alberta becoming independent is near 0%. I think they’d be better off independent, but leaving isn’t a simple matter of a yes vote in a referendum.
From Grok:
Current public support for Alberta independence is a minority position (typically 25–30% in recent polls), though it has reached a 5-year high amid ongoing frustrations with federal policies. A clear majority of Albertans (around 60–70%) consistently say they would vote to stay in Canada.
Recent polling examples (as of early-to-mid 2026):
• Pollara Strategic Insights (March 16–25, 2026, released early April): 27% of decided voters would vote to separate (a record high, up 7 points since December 2025). Another 15% of those planning to vote “remain” say they might switch to “yes” as a protest message to Ottawa, potentially pushing support as high as 42% in a referendum scenario. Among United Conservative Party (UCP) voters, it’s roughly split (55% separate vs. 45% remain).
• Abacus Data (February 2026): 26% support independence; 64% oppose.
• Angus Reid Institute (February 2026): 29% would vote to leave (only 8% definite; 21% leaning); 65% would vote to stay (57% definite).
• Other polls (Ipsos, Research Co., Leger, Mainstream Research in Jan–March 2026) show similar ranges: 17–31% open to independence, with “committed” support dropping to ~15–16% once real-world economic and social costs are factored in.
Support is higher among younger voters and UCP/federal Conservative supporters, but it remains far short of the clear majority needed for any realistic path forward.
A citizen-led petition to force an independence referendum question has reportedly gathered enough signatures, but its path forward is now legally uncertain. Stay Free Alberta claims it surpassed the required ~177,732–178,000 valid signatures by late March 2026 (well before the May 2 deadline). If verified by Elections Alberta,
Premier Danielle Smith has pledged to include the question on the provincial referendum ballot scheduled for October 19, 2026.
However, First Nations groups have launched court challenges arguing the petition violates treaty rights and lacked consultation. A judge has paused signature verification pending review. If blocked, separatists may ask the provincial government to proceed anyway.
Smith herself opposes full separation. She describes her position as favoring a “strong and sovereign Alberta within a united Canada” and is using the 2026 referendum mainly for other questions on immigration, constitutional changes, and provincial autonomy—not as a direct push for independence.
Even if a referendum happens and a “yes” side somehow wins (which current polling makes unlikely), actual independence as a sovereign country is extremely improbable in the near term (realistically near 0% chance without a dramatic, sustained shift in sentiment and politics). Reasons include:
• Legal hurdles: The 1998 Supreme Court of Canada Secession Reference and the federal Clarity Act require a “clear question” and “clear majority,” followed by good-faith negotiations with the federal government and other provinces. Unilateral secession is not possible, and constitutional amendments would be needed.
• National opposition: Roughly 79% of all Canadians (including majorities outside Alberta) say they would block Alberta from leaving if given a vote.
• Historical precedent: Quebec’s two referendums (1980 and 1995) failed despite higher support levels at the time, and even a narrow “yes” would trigger prolonged, uncertain negotiations.
In short, the movement reflects real grievances (resource policy, carbon taxes, federal overreach), and it has energized separatist activism and a possible symbolic vote in October 2026. But polling, legal barriers, and political reality point to very low odds of Alberta becoming an independent country anytime soon. Most Albertans and Canadians prefer reform within Confederation over breakup.

@BillboardChris We have no choice. Independence or we’re going down with the rest of Canada

For everyone who thinks Alberta can simply vote to leave Canada and take the oil with them, it doesn’t work like that.
A referendum does not automatically achieve independence. Under Canadian constitutional law, informed by the Supreme Court of Canada’s 1998 Reference re Secession of Quebec and the federal Clarity Act (2000):
• Unilateral secession is illegal. Alberta cannot simply declare independence.
• A “clear question” (the proposed wording aims to meet this) and a “clear majority” (not precisely defined, but the House of Commons would assess factors like the size of the yes vote, turnout, and overall circumstances) would create a reciprocal obligation for the federal government, other provinces, and relevant parties (including Indigenous nations) to negotiate in good faith on potential constitutional changes to allow secession.
• Negotiations would cover complex issues: division of national debt, borders, currency, trade agreements, military/NORAD/NATO membership, pensions (CPP/OAS), equalization, Indigenous treaty rights (Treaties 6, 7, 8 cover much of Alberta), environmental obligations, and more. These would require a constitutional amendment approved under Canada’s amending formula (typically involving Parliament and at least seven provinces representing 50% of the population).
• First Nations groups have launched court challenges arguing that the petition and referendum process violates treaty rights and the duty to consult, potentially delaying or blocking certification of signatures.
In short, even a strong yes vote would start a long, uncertain, multilateral negotiation process—not an immediate exit. Failure to reach agreement could leave the status quo or lead to prolonged uncertainty.
