Say it with me, loudly, proudly, clearly and confidently: The people have the right to self-determination. We do not need permission to exercise it! Right now, there is excitement about the prospect of an independence referendum in Alberta. And rightly so. It’s truly inspiring to see Albertans paying attention, asking serious questions and preparing to directly exercise their democratic voices -- lawfully, peacefully and powerfully. Citizen engagement at this scale is not something to fear. It is something to respect and protect. I remember back in the 1990s, when I was a young girl, hearing adults talk about the Quebec referendum. I didn’t really understand what it meant. In my child’s mind, I imagined that if Quebec voted “yes,” it would somehow float away and become its own little island. What strikes me today is not that a child once misunderstood a constitutional question—but that decades later, many adults still do. Because even now there are people who speak as though Alberta voting on its future would result in chaos and disorder overnight. That simply is not the case. That is why I am here today to inspire confidence in the process and to address, directly and without apology, those who deliberately sow fear, while disparaging fellow citizens. A healthy democracy does not mock civic engagement; it depends on it and thrives because of it. So let us set aside the noise, speculation, and deliberate nonsense and focus on one simple question: What does the day after a successful referendum actually look like? In the morning, when we, the citizens of the beautiful and resilient province of Alberta, wake up to the news that Albertans have exercised their right to self-determination and voted to become a truly free and independent nation, life continues much as it did the day before. Let that settle the alarmists and the fear mongers. Legally speaking, the Constitution will not disappear. The laws of Canada will remain in force. Courts will continue to function. Contracts remain binding. Schools and hospitals remain open. Businesses will continue to power the life of the province. Life will go on. What does change is something far more powerful and unprecedented in Alberta history: The great people of Alberta will have spoken clearly and legally. And that injects something into the system that cannot be ignored—honesty. And we need a good dose of that! A clear democratic mandate from the people strips away pretence and political games. It forces public institutions and office holders to confront what Albertans actually want, rather than what is most convenient for them. Elected officials—federally, provincially, and including Indigenous leadership—are no longer free to dismiss, delay, or deflect. They are constitutionally required to listen. And more than that they are required to act. When the people speak clearly, the obligations of those in power changes. This is democracy functioning exactly as designed. That is what the day after looks like. This referendum is not a tantrum. It is not rebellion or a negotiating tactic. And it certainly is not treason. A referendum is one of the simplest and most direct expressions of the democratic will of the people. Even the Supreme Court of Canada has been clear on this point. And this cannot be ignored. Albertans are law-abiding people. We do not rush change but when change becomes necessary, we meet it responsibly.

To Quote Davy Crockett: "I am no man's man. I bark at no man's bid. I will never come and go, and fetch and carry, at the whistle of the great man in the white house, no matter who he is. And if this petty, un-patriotic scuffling for men, and forgetting principles, goes on, it will be the overthrow of this once happy nation, and the blood and toil of our ancestors will have been expended in vain."

I don’t want to be at your cool corrupt kid Howard Lutnick Jeffrey Epstein class table. Thank you so much for delineating that I’m not with you, a sinking burning ship.” Anon posting: “How can you call them losers when you lose to Bibi Netanyahu in Israel every single day?”

Carney is trying to get conservatives to turn on Pierre Poilievre, and boot him as party leader. Then he'll call a snap election. Carney was sent here to finish the job Trudeau started, and he will do just that.

Liberal boomers wrecked this country. Crushed housing, jacked taxes, flooded the job market, and turned Canada into a high-tax low-opportunity hellhole for young people. Now they're furious we're leaving in droves and want to fine us hundreds of thousands for emigrating? Straight-up Communist Russia bullshit. Let them own the mess they made.

The most effective response for Albertans is simple: Sign the petition!! Participate in democracy. Show that you care, that you are engaged, and that you are capable of making your own decisions. Because democracy is not passive, it depends on citizens who are willing to step forward and take part. Make your voices heard so Ottawa hears it once and for all!

Less than 24 hours after the close of the proceeding, Justice Leonard issued her stay decision, stating: “To be clear, the Court is not staying the collection of signatures; this decision has no impact whatsoever on the signature collection period or when that period expires... Specifically, the Chief Electoral Officer shall not certify the petition results or make a referral to the Minister of Justice until the Court has ruled on the Applications by ACN and the Blackfoot Nations.” If there is no harm in gathering signatures, what is the harm in verifying them or transmitting the results to the Legislature? In effect, the decision halts the communication of the democratic will of citizens to their elected representatives. How does that strengthen, or even preserve, the integrity of our democratic process? And it doesn’t take into consideration the canvassers, those standing in the cold for hours and engaged their fellow citizens in a lawful democratic exercise, only to be told that their work cannot be formally recognized or conveyed. If participation is permitted, but the outcome cannot be communicated, what exactly is the process meant to achieve and who does that ultimately serve?

Wild, a judge is refusing to let Albertans communicate their desires to their legislature. Democracy is dying in Canada.
