In the modern world, we are rightly taught to leave abusive relationships. The internet is full of stories and advice for those trapped in cycles of manipulation, degradation, and despair. Society rightly says: You don’t have to stay. You deserve better.
So let us now apply that same wisdom to our collective relationship with Canada.
Alberta is in an abusive relationship with Confederation.
We are insulted, taxed, ignored, and mocked. We are drained of our wealth while being denied power, respect, and representation. Alberta pays billions more into the federal system than we ever receive in return. We are the victim of relentless financial exploitation. Our voice in Ottawa is a whisper. Our influence on the national stage is silenced by a system rigged for Ontario and Quebec.
In the House of Commons and the Senate, we are underrepresented. On the Supreme Court, we are outnumbered. In the corridors of power, we are dismissed as ungrateful, landlocked whiners. The gaslighting is constant. You could never go it alone. You’ll need us one day. You’re too small, too weak, too dependent. These are the lies of an abuser.
Alberta is not free.
We are shackled to a system designed to suppress us, not serve us. Confederation is not a partnership. It is a prison. Alberta will never have a meaningful say in Canada’s future. Not because we lack strength or vision, but because the system was built to deny us both.
And now, a breaking point has arrived.
The next federal election is more than a political contest. It is a national referendum on whether Alberta matters. And if, on April 28th, Canadians choose again to empower the same corrupt, economically destructive, ideologically radical Liberal government, then the answer will be clear.
They do not care about Alberta.
They will have voted, knowingly, for the party that shut down our industries, suppressed our freedoms, rewrote our history in shame, and flooded the nation with millions of unvetted, economically dependent newcomers. These policies have strained every resource we have and eroded the values that built this land.
Let us be clear. Immigration is not the enemy. But uncontrolled, unstrategic mass immigration, especially into Alberta, threatens the identity and future of our province. People who do not share our history, our values, or our work ethic are arriving not to build, but to benefit. They are not Albertans. They are Canadians who come for opportunity but bring with them the very ideologies that ruined the places they fled.
Our major cities are already changing. In Calgary and Edmonton, we saw it in the last provincial election. Growing liberal majorities are being fueled by federal immigration policies. If we wait, rural Alberta will be politically drowned. The Alberta spirit, fierce, free, self-reliant, will die under waves of central Canadian and international influence.
This is not xenophobia. This is not hate. This is the reality of what happens when a people fail to protect their culture, their values, and their future.
And so, we say with clarity and resolve:
Now is the time.
We may never get another moment like this. Alberta’s window to act is closing. We may never again have an American President like Donald Trump, someone who may be willing to recognize Alberta’s right to self-determination if we declare independence through a democratic referendum.
We must move now, while the Alberta spirit still burns hot. While we still control our institutions. While we still have the numbers, the courage, and the will to act.
If we fail to seize this moment, we will surrender our children to a future that is not theirs. We will watch as Alberta becomes just another poor, dependent, stagnant region in a crumbling post-national state.
But if we act, if we rise, if we break free, we can forge a new path.
One where Alberta stands as a sovereign nation.
It is time to leave this abusive relationship.

The movement needs to be prepared and front running the inevitable election of Mark Carney by the east. We are and always have been a colony to Ottawa and you’re absolutely right in saying we will never have an opportunity as we do right now with Trump in charge down south. I would much rather be a sovereign nation, but if being apart of the U.S. is the only other option, then a state, not a territory.
As with other abusive relationships, many Albertans are fearful of change. It's hard for them so see that in the near future change for the worse WILL COME regardless of what Albertans do. We are able to mitigate the fallout if we stand strong independently. It's TIME!
