What I love about the equalization scheme is that the current one was made by Kenney and his boss PM Harper when they were in federal power. When Notley came to Alberta provincial power the question came up and it was decided, with the help of all sorts of experts including conservatives, that it was the best deal possible. Opening up renegotiations would most likely have us in a worse, not better position. So, Smith, talk to your boss about that.
I also find plain silly is that the majority of issues conservatives have in Alberta are not federal jurisdiction! Education, Health Care, employment for starters are all provincial jurisdiction. The Feds have no say in them at all. So, the problems we have are not with the conservatives favourite whipping boy Ottawa, or even Trudeau. There is a clear distinction between federal and provincial jurisdictions. The problems we have, the lack of services we have, the crummy use of our tax dollars is a provincial conservative problem. It’s The Leg we should be shouting at, not Ottawa.
Thank you. Recently I have been rendered speechless by the premier's antics. So sad; not that I have been rendered speechless but that the premier is dragging Alberta into crisis and conflict.
When Smith became premier, I wasn’t sure i could “get to know” her as well as I felt I understood Kenney. He was easy, I thought at the time, because he had strong convictions and I could see where he was coming from. With Smith, it’s a totally different experience because she holds such contradictory beliefs. I eventually figured out that the only constant is her personal benefit. Charitably, I will say that I think she honestly believes what benefits her will benefit all — but she’s too short-sighted to make that a reality.
I agree with that. During this last federal election I talked to quite a few Candidates and every Conservative one actually believed the same things. “ If I believe in something, then It’s a good thing and everyone else should believe that too” seems to be the mantra of those who are the furthest right of all!
BC could choose to turn off that oil pipeline that Justin Trudeaus Liberal government so generously built for Alberta. Danielle Smith is a victim of her own making unfortunately. Alberta s deserves so much better. She truly is an American wantabe!
How’s the recall vote efforts going in Southern Alberta? She’s taking over elections, policing, our heritage trust fund, we seriously need her gone from power. Like now.
She’s safe. The only way I could see it working is if conservatives could see a way to blame her for Poilievre’s loss. They don’t even blame Poilievre so…
I have an inkling that the premier along with the minister of transport Dreeshan and those "black hat" treasonous blackguards are US "deep state assets". Their loyalty is suspect.
AB has demonstrated that they are clueless. They have a corrupt Premier who among other things displays treasonous. This AB separation talk when Canadians backs are against the wall with Trump is unforgivable. You can’t go any lower. And all Albertan’s must take responsibility for her behaviour. Shrugging of the shoulders and acting incredulous just doesn’t do it. You are Canada’s Arkansas. Once American swings back the other way AB will be out there on their own. The only people that are going to invest or move to AB are MAGA. People saw the vote margin in AB. Have some self respect.
Apparently you haven’t read the response to her on social media. She is hated by the majority of Albertans. There is a little matter of her healthcare scandal, a minimum $600 million scam on Albertans money and trust. She’s trying to take over even municipal elections, she wants control of our Heritage Trust Fund, wants to control policing, she IS TRUMP. Alberta needs her gone, but more importantly CANADA needs her gone.
Paul it is sad that some people make generalizations without knowing all the facts.
I lived in Quebec and saw the effects of the 1980 Quebec referendum. I moved to Alberta in 1982 and saw once more the effects of the 1995 referendum on friends and family.
There are few Albertans willing to support Chaos Smith's separatist behavior nor do they enjoy the mismanagement and scandal riddled Smith UCP Government.
I am not sure if Albertans know this, or if many Canadians know this, should the price of oil drop below $57. Per barrel, it is below the break even point for Alberta oil to be profitable. This would not be a good thing for Alberta or Canada as a while. Alternately should the price of oil skyrocket, and Alberta starts to pump between 7 million to 10 million plus barrels per day, it is estimated that at the 50 year mark Alberta will start to run low on crude.
Another fact lost on many Albertans is that during the same time period that Norway announced the Sovereign Wealth Fund started in 1967. Much of this fund was fueled by revenues from Norway's North Sea oil reserves. Current estimates on the dollar value are well over 1.5 Trillion US Dollars.
Now take the Alberta Heritage Trust Fund started under the Peter Lougheed
Government. The fund was incorporated in 1976. In the government of Albertas own prospectus, the raison d'être, their own words are as follows.
The three objectives of the fund were as follows. To save the for the future,to strengthen and diversify the economy, and improve the quality of life for Albertans.
The current value of the Alberta Heritage Fund is 25 Billion.
Why Alberta Should Never Become the 51st State of America.
The notion of Alberta joining the United States as its 51st state is not only strategically reckless—it is intellectually bankrupt. The United States is arguably the most corrupt nation on Earth, rivaled only by Israel in its entanglement of globalist agendas, military overreach, financial manipulation, and institutional decay. To tether Alberta’s future to a collapsing empire would be to willfully graft a diseased branch onto a tree already struggling to stand. Canada has its share of unresolved issues, no doubt, but absorbing America’s far more complex and deeply entrenched dysfunctions would extinguish any last ember of hope for true Canadian—or Albertan—sovereignty.
To those advocating secession from Canada, the only viable path forward is for Alberta to become an independent nation. Sovereignty is not gained by trading one master for another, especially not one whose political infrastructure is rotting under the weight of its own contradictions. The United States cannot even solve its own problems: crumbling infrastructure, mass poverty, rampant crime, weaponized media, ethno-cultural dissolution and a healthcare system that prioritizes profit over people. To expect such a system to offer Alberta salvation is worse than naive—it’s suicidal.
If Alberta were to become a republic, it would have a unique opportunity to establish a new governmental framework from the ground up—one rooted in transparency, decentralization, and accountability. This includes ensuring that no member of the ruling establishment—those who currently preside over the failing systems—are permitted to infiltrate the foundation of a free Alberta. This moment calls for vision, not submission.
It is time we acknowledge the uncomfortable truth about Donald Trump. The man once heralded in 2016 for his populist rebellion against the globalist machine is no longer the same political figure. Around three years ago, it became clear to any objective observer that Trump had been compromised. He now parrots the very narratives he once fought against, aligning with the NWO agenda. Anyone who believes that a nearly 80-year-old man—whose future is far more likely to involve assisted care than leadership—is the architect of recent geopolitical maneuvers like tariffs and trade warfare, is failing to recognize the deeper game being played. These moves were not Trump's—they were orchestrated by the very establishment that hopes to see Mark Carney ascend to power in Canada.
In truth, we are witnessing a carefully staged conflict. The real objective? To fracture Canada, to pit province against province, and to manufacture a scenario in which Danielle Smith, whose intentions seem genuine, delivers a list of seemingly rational demands to Mark Carney, under the guise that Alberta might "join Trump’s America" if those demands are unmet. But this is a trap. The plan is not to resolve Alberta’s grievances—it’s to bait Canada into collapse, piece by piece, province by province, until the nation is either absorbed into a centralized global power structure or so weakened it begs for integration under the banner of global governance.
This is the essence of the NWO and Agenda 2030 strategy: erode national identities, dissolve borders, and centralize control under the illusion of unity. Alberta must reject this bait. It must either force a total political reckoning—removing the fraudulent leadership that plagues Canada—or separate and forge its own destiny as a sovereign republic.
To join the United States is, frankly, the worst conceivable option. It would result in the exploitation of Alberta’s resources by foreign interests, leaving the province gutted and impoverished, no different than many of the economically devastated states scattered across middle America. Any nation that cannot care for its own people has no business governing others.
This is not a time for emotional reactionism or superficial alliances. It is a time for strategic clarity and resolute independence. Alberta must lead—not follow.
What I love about the equalization scheme is that the current one was made by Kenney and his boss PM Harper when they were in federal power. When Notley came to Alberta provincial power the question came up and it was decided, with the help of all sorts of experts including conservatives, that it was the best deal possible.

Is an asset of an asset also Russian-backed? Not that I love I too have now become a conspiracist...

Surcharge on exit.
Tarrifs possibly?
Or worse, if the feds ever seriously considered separation (which they would not), a share of national debt 😏
