Mark Carney is Prime Minister.

Ontario, Quebec, and Atlantic Canada handed him a majority — while the West, once again, was left out in the cold. We’ve seen this movie before: a government we didn’t vote for, a prime minister we didn’t elect, and a federal agenda that treats Alberta like a punching bag — to be taxed, scolded, and shut down.

But this time, something changed.

The very next day, Premier Danielle Smith’s government introduced a bill that could change everything.

A New Path to Independence

Tucked inside Alberta's Election Statutes Amendment Act, 2025, is a quiet revolution: a change to the rules governing referendums — specifically, the rules around the Citizen Initiative Act.

Previously, launching a binding referendum required 600,000 signatures in just 90 days — an impossible bar for any grassroots movement. But now? The threshold has been cut in half and recalculated to reflect 10% of voters from the last election.

That’s fewer than 200,000 signatures, according to constitutional lawyer Keith Wilson.

This isn’t a meme. It’s not a fantasy. It’s a legal pathway to independence — and for the first time, it’s within reach.

This is About Options. This is About Leverage.

Ottawa thinks it can keep stomping on Alberta’s prosperity, its industries, and its freedoms. But next time they try to grab our guns, shut down our energy sector, or force their globalist vision on the West, we’ll remind them of one number:

177,000.

That’s all it takes now.

And for the one-third of Western Canadians who support independence — more than the NDP and Carney’s Liberals in the West combined — we’re done being told to sit down and shut up. You are not fringe. You are not radical. You are growing — and you will be heard.

Please sign the petition to demand Ottawa leave Alberta alone!

Goal: 25,000 signatures

We, the undersigned, stand with Alberta against federal overreach that threatens to cripple our economy and jeopardize the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of Canadians. Alberta has endured enough. The province contributes billions in equalization payments, supports jobs and industries across the country, and has been forced into economic sacrifices for decades. We demand an end to policies that punish Alberta for its resource wealth. Sign this petition to show your support for Alberta’s right to defend its economy, its jobs, and its future.
