Rebel News LIVE! 2025 in Red Deer was headlined by a debate on Alberta's future — staying within Canada or carving a new, separate path forward — between political analyst David Knight Legg and constitutional lawyer Keith Wilson.

Western Canadians are facing unprecedented challenges. From suffocating federal regulations and attacks on natural resources, to infringements on free speech, to the steady erosion of local and provincial autonomy, it has never been clearer: Western Canada must stand up and be heard.

Rebel News LIVE! is a one-of-a-kind, full-day gathering bringing together leading voices, activists, political figures, and concerned citizens to discuss the future of the West and where we go from here.

Whether you’re concerned about energy policy, property rights, cultural freedom, taxation, or Western representation, this event will offer insight, solutions, and — most importantly — an opportunity to connect and build relationships with like-minded Canadians.

Please help Rebel News stand up for the West!

Ottawa’s been screwing the West for decades — Trudeau's carbon taxes, Carney’s smug elitism, and laws like Bill C-69 that sabotage our prosperity. The message from the East? Shut up, pay up, and stay in your place. We’re done with that. And we think you are too. That's why Rebel News is launching a campaign to give Albertans and the West a voice — and we need your help to kick it off. Please help us fund a province-wide poll on Alberta independence, emergency townhalls, and fearless journalism that tells the truth about how badly Ottawa treats the West. If you're fed up with being trampled by the Laurentian elite, chip in now. We’re not taking it anymore!

    The Monarch system was never design for the people. Its corrupt and broken and needs to be dismantled

    Excellent debate. I think that David has a strong point though. If you don’t fix Calgary/Edmonton, then welcome to an independent Alberta with an NDP government. But he missed the cause and the recent byelection in Edmonton-Strathcona clearly shows it. The education system is wacko-liberal. In the country, parents have enough influence to keep the kids conservative. But in the city, that is not so and the wacko-liberal indoctrination that happens in the schools guarantees the perpetuation of those values. If Alberta is to survive, it must first fix the BEd program in the universities and change the curriculum in the schools. Teach Canadian/Alberta history with pride, not oppressor/oppressed lenses. Teach hard work yields results, not the Gov can fix everything. Teach civil order, not violence will get results. bit, bit – my 2 bits worth :-)

    I hope Alberta becomes independent. Ottawa is a ball and chain hobbling us. We want to use up our resources rather than keeping them underground.
