  1. Yet the transfer payments are happily accepted.

    Brothers, Sisters, Comrades! I urge you to contribute to the campaign for a Free Alberta. I will be directing my donations to Keith Wilson’s campaign.

    Over 300,000 signed a petition for their voice to be heard. Many were unable to because of their address issues (box numbers) Many were afraid to sign (so much for “Strong and Free”) If every person that signed that petition gave $50, that’s 15,000,000.

    $50 is such a small price when considering the benefits we will receive by living in a free and prosperous nation!!!

    1. Equalization payments. Make the distinction. All provinces get “transfer payments” (which is just an indication that the feds overtax and then dole out to provinces). But equalization payments are a far more important issue. Did you know that since the start of the equalization program in the 1950’s, that Quebec has received over 50% of ALL payments ever made and it has received them every year. By comparison, Alberta has received a total of .02% with the last payment made in fiscal 1964/65.

      1. Yes, an important distinction. Your post is also an important reminder of the entrenched larceny that is Soviet Canuckistan.

        I would add that tax revenues from Oil and Gas (normally profitable endeavors) are transferred to the various propaganda arms of the liarberal party of Soviet Canuckistan. If they don’t like Alberta’s “dirty” oil, then put your money where your mouth is and don’t accept any of it as the subsidy they receive to publish their putrid trash.

  5. L – That old joke that Canada is kept unified by a shared hatred of Toronto hid the cultural division behind the western Independence movement. We’re tired of being indentured slaves to the Laurentian elite.

    From the whispering trees, grasses and fields “Let Freedom ring!” Responsible government is self-government. Signed, The people, who just wanted to be left alone…

  8. I don’t know. Polls I’ve seen suggest that Albertans are only slightly less idiotic than other Canadians. Not to mention the nitwits they have elected to city government in Calgary and Edmonton. Seems vanishingly unlikely to me that a separation referendum would succeed there.

    1. Quite right – an actual independence referendum right now would get, at best, 20% of the vote.

      MS. Smith’s referendum, in contrast, is so ambigious:
      “Should Alberta remain a province of Canada, or should the Government of Alberta commence the legal process required under the Canadian Constitution to hold a binding provincial referendum on whether or not Alberta should separate from Canada?”

      the “yes vote can be counted as saying Alberta should remain in Canada AND as saying the Alberta government should prep for departure – so no matter how we vote, both sides win (or lose) See paul530 on substack for my rants on stupid this is – and what can be done about it.
