Alberta’s premier opens the door just a crack towards independence — It’s no April Fool’s Day joke
Alberta’s growing frustrations with Ottawa, fueled by economic and cultural tensions, are pushing the province closer to seriously considering independence.

Tonight, on The Ezra Levant Show, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith made a statement that might seem small on the surface but could have massive implications. She cracked open the door to the possibility of Alberta rethinking its place in Confederation. This isn’t just idle talk — it’s a reflection of growing frustration in the province. And if things continue on their current path, that door might not just open further — it could be kicked wide open.
One thing that stands out about Carney’s appeal is that he has a very specific demographic — baby boomers. Boomers have it good. Their houses are paid off, high home prices benefit them and they aren’t competing with millions of foreign workers. The system works for them. The last decade hasn’t been a struggle for them. They’re not stuck living with their parents, unable to buy a home. Maybe their kids are, and maybe they don’t mind that. But their comfort blinds them to the struggles of younger generations and the larger issues facing the country.
Carney presents himself as the perfect prime ministerial candidate — well-groomed, polished, and, most importantly, boring. But boring is a disguise for radical ideas. And for many boomers, that’s enough. Poilievre seems too “uppity,” too aggressive, too much like Trump. And when Trump joked about annexing Canada, they took it seriously. They don’t realize that the real threat isn’t from the south — it’s from within.
Mark Carney is a globalist. He holds three passports, calls himself European and hasn’t been engaged in Canadian affairs for over a decade. He’s out of touch. He didn’t even know the difference between Inuit and First Nations. He couldn’t answer basic questions about the country he supposedly wants to lead. His interests lie elsewhere — in London, New York, or Geneva. If you think he’s running on patriotism, you’re being scammed.
Carney says his Liberal government would keep the 'no more pipelines' Bill C-69 in place, claiming he will focus on "projects that are going to make material differences to our country." pic.twitter.com/dEv0lV7xRy

And that’s where Alberta comes in. For years, Alberta has been treated as the punching bag of Confederation. Its oil industry has been strangled by policies like Bill C-69, while eastern politicians cash in on their alternative energy investments. Carney hasn’t disclosed his holdings, but it’s not hard to guess where his financial interests lie.
Alberta has been pushed to the brink. Crime is up. Migrants are flooding in. Woke activists control the cultural narrative. Meanwhile, the people who built the country — hardworking young men, the energy sector and the middle class — are being squeezed out. Is it any wonder that Premier Smith is testing the waters of independence?
Maybe it won’t happen. Maybe it’s all talk. But maybe — just maybe — Canada is closer to breaking apart than we realize.

If You will look up Canada the Illusion and read what it says and another person and what he told Quebec . Look Up Walter Kuhl on the web. Hopefully We will be able to converse more on this subject. Thanks and regards. -
Nellis Foesier commented 2025-04-03 22:01:44 -0400In response to Donald on my comment. The clarity act was put in place in 1999 by Jean Cretin. Canadian encyclopedia says -
“ According to Bill C-20, only the House of Commons has the power to vote on the clarity of the question and the majority; yet the exclusion of the Senate’s power to hold a vote on these issues calls into question the principle of the two chamber system entrenched in the Constitution.”
This gives the HOC VETO POWER over any vote any province holds. If the HOC says it wasn’t a clear question then the vote is nullified. This is the same wording as in the bill itself. -
Sandra Predinchuk commented 2025-04-03 07:27:08 -0400I’m a boomer and so is my husband. We are middle class worked hard all our lives to enjoy our retirement. Own our home, made investments etc. We’ll since 2015 and Trudeau and all his corrupt antics life hasn’t been so good! We are smart enough that we know how to save and learned HOW TO BE THRIFTY WITH OUR FUNDS. TRUDEAU HAS ALMOST BANKRUPTED the middle class. Never will we or my family vote for Carney or another LIBERAL in our lifetime for the corruption they did to our Country, the division they did to our families during covid and for the harm they will continue to do if Carney and Trudeaues Minuns who were behind his every move stand behind Carney bobbing their hands get in to finish this Country off!

Don Hrehirchek commented 2025-04-02 18:14:07 -0400Nellis, the wording definitely has to be perfect. Just go and ask the Clarity people what they want to see. Now I do not know when this act was put into play . I would assume after 1935. That date is very important.

Nellis Foesier commented 2025-04-02 17:46:21 -0400I have read the Clarity act and it says, Ottawa will decide if the question was clear. If The HOC decides it wasn’t a clear question then they VETO the referendum on independence no matter what the vote was.

Don Hrehirchek commented 2025-04-02 12:15:01 -0400Patience is required at this junction in Canada’s history. Those that want to leave May do so at their convenience. Just do not take Me with You . WEXIT, I can go with .Being #51 no! These troubles that We are having are world wide. Not unique to North America. There is an evil out there that has to be resisted. No resistance and You certainly will succumb to the evil .Just My opinion from what I see and read.

Bernhard Jatzeck commented 2025-04-01 21:44:13 -0400Independence? What are we waiting for? More importantly, what do we have to lose?

Jeanne lajeunesse commented 2025-04-01 21:41:43 -0400I’m a boomer as well and care deeply about Canada, and what’s in store for our children and grandchildren. Yes, I am fine financially but I am not so greedy as to leave our dependents with the mess the Liberals have created. I am shocked that some Boomers are comfortable with what Liberals have in store for Canada.

Bruce Atchison commented 2025-04-01 20:50:43 -0400I’m a boomer but I care strongly about the ruin Canada has become. Liberals are termites, all they care about is their terms they serve, and they’ve done so much destruction to our nation. I’m retired now but I care deeply about my country and how corrupted it has come in the lost Liberal decade.

Bruce Atchison commented 2025-04-01 20:42:48 -0400I have my doubts about Tamara Lich winning her case on Thursday. I hope I’m wrong.
