Alberta

What Now?

Published

5 minute read

Results of the 2019 federal election are in, with the Liberal party winning the most seats.

However you wish to look at it though, Canadians are the biggest losers. This PM should have been investigated before the election for obstruction of justice and awaiting a trial and likely a conviction.

Now the RCMP won’t be allowed to take any further steps, the Admiral Norman and SNC Lavalin scandals will vanish. We will be right back to the same old game of corruption and lies all for the sake of power.

Albertans in particular who have been suffering from enhanced economic warfare waged upon us by Ottawa for the past cycle understand all too well that the pain will only intensify now. Trudeau has offered us up as the sacrifice, and will continue his massive deficit spending ways. The equalization formula was locked in for five years, so four more to go my friends.

Eastern jurisdictions that were promised all manner of free stuff, will eagerly await the further plunder of Albertans and take those dollars with an attitude of entitlement and arrogance. Trudeau was actively campaigning against Albertans interests in his home province, so we know where we stand already.

I believe that there is no possibility to fix the system of government in Canada, so that it could become what it was supposed to be. Pierre Trudeau started Canada down this path, and his son picked up the baton and ran with it.

Political parties also sold out for power. All parties use the equalization formula to curry favor in Quebec and the maritime provinces. They understand that the prosperity of Albertans is the price they must pay to increase odds of winning or staying in power. Equalization sounds like a nice concept, but it has been corrupted into a tool for plunder and used against those with little political power, meaning us.

Now we must change our focus and shed the fears of what if. We need to stand up and create a new future, one of prosperity and freedom. Self determination is not something we ask the government to give us, it’s something we have within us, and all we need to do is stand up for ourselves and force the government to adhere to our will.

We need to create our own constitution that guarantees our rights as individuals, and that treats us all as equals. No more divisive identity politics, only Albertans working together to make things right.

Our new constitution must ensure that the government remains accountable and responsible to the people. There must be checks and balances to government power so that we don’t see a repetition of what’s happening to Canada.

One of the best things about creating something new is that we don’t have to bargain with anyone else about what our future will look like. We can decide what it will be, and make it happen. We have the right people, strong agriculture and resource sectors; but perhaps more importantly though, we have a culture of getting the job done.

There are those who fear something new and those who have been hesitant to speak up in support of Independence, but I think after tonight many of these reluctant ones will join us in the struggle to free Alberta.

This is a pivotal moment, and I think will make for exciting reading someday in history books. One day people will read about how when Alberta became a nation, and how Albertans stood up for their freedom.

I say it’s long overdue, but now is the time to make our new nation. This won’t just happen on it’s own though, we must take responsibility and make it happen.

Responsibility is the price for Freedom. Freedom will give us Opportunity and that will drive a period of Prosperity like we’ve never seen before. We do this not only for our future prosperity, but for our children and grandchildren.

Is There Any Canadian Province More Proud of their Premier Today…

Published on

 

Prior to Trumps inauguration event and announcement was made that Trump would not be imposing the 25% tariffs…

Which means, Canada seriously dodged a bullet here.

And while the Liberals will most likely frame this as, their success in showing, Bad Orange Man, that they’re tough and ready to burn down what is left of our economy, throwing Alberta under the bus, first…through a nuclear option…

Premier Smith rode this challenge out like the true champion we knew that she would be.

It’s hard to say if this was a legality matter in the grander scheme…or if the 25% tariffs would have truly been as big of an impact on the US…

One thing is clear, however…

Smith was ready to go to the tables with the Trump administration and opt for diplomacy over threats…which should be what we expect from our leaders.

And should these 25% tariffs have gone through…I’m more than sure a Plan B would have been brought out in civil conversations, over screeching rhetoric.

“She’s treasonous”, they screeched.

“She’s supporting her friends in Oil and Gas”, they relent.

“She should put Canada first”, they echo…

And let’s just address these…

Is Walmart beholden to Campbells soup? Fruit of the Loom? Kraft?

Or does Walmart sell products that helps keep their doors open?

Walmart is not beholden to any product…just like Premier Smith isn’t. We have 26% of our GDP – the largest portion – owed to Alberta O&G, something that we have a limited trade partner with, due to the Liberal – Anti-Alberta/Anti-O&G/Anti-Pipeline attitude that wants to spend us further in debt with unreliable and expensive “Renewables”.

What does Alberta get from renewables?

A higher cost for energy, in an affordability crisis, created by the same people who continue to push them…sounds like a terrible deal, for Albertans, and something a true leader would Not Favor.


When Walmart sits down to hash out a deal with Heinz, are they committing treason because they haven’t shown their allegiance to their own, ‘Great Value’ brand Ketchup?

No…other provinces have their own industries and resources, which they are free to continue developing independent of the federal government, as is suitable and supportive of their own economies…Alberta isn’t competing with them, nor Canada as a whole.

Alberta through industry and resource, actually supports Canada through a grand imbalance on “Equalization Payments”…

Image

As do we through paying 50% more into the Canada Pension Plan, than we actually get out of the Canada Pension Plan…to the tune of a $334 Billion Dollars.


And as for this “Team Canada”, horseshit…

The title Premier of Alberta, should hold some clues as to who Premier Smith should be advocating for…as she is the Premier of Alberta and Not the Prime Minister, nor leader in the Liberal Party that has created this fiasco, to begin with.

Rail, as they may…other provinces can’t cast a vote in her support, either way…

None of the other provinces, through Members of Parliament, nor through Premiers, came to support Alberta and our economy through a number of Federal Bills that railed on our provincial resources…

Worse yet…these hypocrites cash cheques from our province, while telling us how to diversify our economy…to which I’d state one thing unequivocally…

If we wanted to be a Have Not Province…like you are…we’ll come and ask you for your advice.

Until then…

I’ll hold my Alberta Flag Higher than my Canadian…

And be proud today, of having the only Premier in the country of Canada, worthy of any praise today!
