Alberta is at a crossroads — this is how we’re going to figure out which way to go

For too long, Westerners have been told to sit down and shut up.

Ottawa’s been bleeding the West dry—carbon taxes, gun bans,  censorship, energy shutdowns. And under Mark Carney, it’s only getting worse.

But out here? We’re done getting screwed.

For too long, Westerners have been told to sit down and shut up. About our resources. Our culture. Even our future.

But Quebec's talked about sovereignty for decades. Now it’s our turn—to talk about our future. With or without the rest of Canada.

That’s why Rebel News is hosting two no-nonsense town halls in Alberta.

One is in Edmonton on May 12 at the Chateau Louis Conference Centre. The other is in Calgary on May 14 at the Carriage House Hotel. Both nights are from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Tickets are just five bucks at DoneGettingScrewed.com.

We’re talking energy, independence, and how to push back against a government that doesn’t work for us and won't listen.

Be there. Speak up. Because this time—we’re not backing down.

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!

    Poilievre deserved to lose. The conservatives didn’t come with solutions just socialist lite policies. Not how they would work with Trump but they made Trump the bad guy and played directly into Carney’s hand. Poilievre still believes that the government is the solution and not the problem. I know there are a lot of Canadians who have been in the pot too long and don’t realize they are about to be cooked. I will keep praying for us all.

    Meanwhile, life goes on for the rest of us.
    When we have our fight, we’ll get involved.
    We all do.
