Western Standard- Alberta sets groundwork for referendum day after Liberal election victory
To hold an independence referendum in Alberta, currently, the process can be initiated through two primary mechanisms under existing legislation, the Referendum Act and the Citizen Initiative Act.
A petition must collect signatures from approximately 600,000 eligible voters (about 20% of Alberta’s eligible voters, based on the 2019 election turnout) within a 90-day period.
If passed, the new law will cut the number needed cut in half to 10%.

I've been ambivalent about the election results. The next few years of Trump's pounding is better taken by the Liberals and the provinces who voted for it. https://t.co/ZKrHLCPG5H

@stephen_taylor – Elizabeth May to be the next Speaker of the House of Commons?
“I’m getting really tired of rich, comfortable people telling me that the country’s problems are a lie…”
The Canadian disconnect.
Your post is so very disingenuous and so typical of the @nationalpost that it is obviously a political pitch https://t.co/TulWGUlQVd

The Line- Western alienation is real and cannot be dismissed
The Liberals’ energy policies are bad economics and even worse politics, and the threat they represent for national unity can’t be ignored as unhelpful whining.
Power from Manitoba? And a vote for seccession
Before the Manitoba premier pulls out of US contracts, maybe he should have lined up a willing buyer? Because he really, really wants to sell power to Saskatchewan now, according to the press conference I listened to late Monday. Are we going to buy? Be sure to read his comments about neighbours paying mortgages…

Jim Warren once again knocks it out of the park.
Jim Warren: Manning said a vote for the Carney Liberals is a vote for Western secession. And he’s right.
I was interviewed in January at a Calgary conference by Robbie Picard. This is that interview, just published Monday:
“We need to diversify our markets. We need to get to other places.”

I anticipate Canadian natural gas prices are going to go up as a result. Good for producers, great for Alberta and BC. Not so good for SaskPower, businesses and home owners who need heat.

They could have just asked me: Saskatchewan beats Alberta and Quebec in wanting to leave Canada if Carney wins
The recently released data from Angus Reid shows that who the winning party will be matters greatly to residents of Saskatchewan in particular. Saskatchewan’s 14 federal ridings have remained entirely Conservative for the past two elections. That could be why the predominantly Conservative province is the most likely to plan an escape route if Liberals win.
The percentage of residents from Saskatchewan who said they would vote “yes” to leave Canada to become an independent country went from 20 per cent, initially, to 33 per cent, if Liberals won. Meanwhile, the percentage of residents who believed the province should join the United States went from 17 per cent, initially, to 23 per cent, if Liberals won. (To the south, Saskatchewan shares its borders with American states North Dakota and Montana.)
Kind of them to explain to Canadians where to look for us on a map.

Sylvain Charlebois- Canada keeps losing at geopolitics, and farmers pay the price
Canada has walked itself into an unnecessary trade war with the United States’ biggest geopolitical rival, China.
The consequences are clear: new retaliatory tariffs from China are directly targeting our farmers, affecting over $3-billion worth of agrifood commodities and products.
These measures are a direct response to Canada’s decision to impose a 100 per cent tariff on Chinese electric vehicles in October, a move designed to align with U.S. trade policy and shield the North American auto sector from low-cost competition.

Have they pulled Chinese booze off the shelves yet?
China fucked western CANADA late Friday with a 100% tariff on canola oil and peas.
Don’t think it’s serious Richardson last night late sent out a statement that they were pulling all bids for Canola effective immediately.
Cargill and all others will follow today.
All this to save a few electric car jobs that don’t even exist in eastern CANADA.
Were fucked and not a peep from any news outlet of the damage or liberal NDP politician.
@KenKluz – So much seed and chem is in our sheds, so we are stuck seeding canola, regardless what do you switch to as of rotation and other commodity prices. Far worse than 1970 or 1986

Alberta’s government supports a proportionate and measured response to U.S. tariffs. However, our government will not allow Ottawa to cut off or impose export tariffs on Alberta energy – doing so would hurt Albertans and Canadians far more than Americans. pic.twitter.com/JVDeLGAQ9D

The reality is, in Alberta the vast majority oppose Canada joining the states. Could more Albertans be convinced? Maybe.
And if they are convinced it will due to how badly central and eastern Canada treat Alberta.— Brian Lilley (@brianlilley) February 26, 2025
