Saskatchewan and Manitoba are not “right there with them”

Saskatchewan may be a wee bit closer,,,, but far from being right there,,,

Manitoba isn’t even in the discussion

After a successful Alberta independence referendum,,,, that would all change I’m certain

But that’s not what it’s about

You're obviously a lot closer to the situation than I am so I am not going to argue with you, but I have spent a lot of time in Manitoba, Sask and Ontario, and everyone I've met who lives outside the larger cities in Manitoba and Sask and everyone in Northwest Ontario are soooo ready to cut themselves off from being yanked around by the urban liberals.

Same can be said about the rural people of most states, especially New York......jk

No doubt Canada has issues but many other Countries have them too including our neighbour to the South.

For most people (regardless of the Country), it is all about decent wages and being able to put food on the table.

Dividing a Country is never the answer in my opinion. We need to hold our politicians accountable for their lack of action.

Canada is in serious trouble,,,,,, has been for awhile

Private property rights in BC are now up in the air

No private companies are going to invest in a pipeline to the coast,,,,,, without serious government funding

The whole thing is going to blow up spectacularly

Literally,,,,not figuratively

Certainly it appears that may be the case in BC

Glad I never purchased real estate in BC

There’s still hope for Alberta,,,,,

That sounds like a residency issue Saskatchewan will have to work out

The little global r44 was circling,,, never saw anything on global

Same can be said about the rural people of most states, especially New York......jk

The amount of money Canada is throwing into paying key people to go against the Alberta Separation has to be gigantic.

Well it sounds like the fringe minority might not be as small as some are led to beleive. Hour waits and block long line ups to sign the referendum petition. If your for or against this i a great way to exercise your democratic right by holding a referendum where each and every ballot cast means something.

Unfortunately the fear mongering of bg bad man with yellow hair is alive and well but no one mentions that Alberta independence isn't a overnight thing. It'll take years and with 2 years left in the Donald's term a lot can change.

We'll have President Vance for eight years and by then the commies should be cinvicted and in prison.

Savell, it's not lost exactly it's just bought by another country

What one?

That’s probably just the kinda crowd your around when up here. Mb splitting is dead and anyone who thinks Ab would want us is on glue…..lol. We’re a “have not” province. Do we like it, no, but we deal with it…….lol.
Same thing when I go to Mn. I think “how is this a dem state?”, but I haven’t been through Minni since I was 13yrs old. There’s just good people where I hang out down south.

Just coming back and I've got ti say as a 54 year old Albertan that it makes me proud to see the turnout of the different age groups. It restores some faith that the next generations are paying attention.

I'm unsure why the Donald is thumping his chest about greenland. He has a agreement dated years ago that agrees to the US of A to establish a military base there and after a generation od war I'd be hesitant to send my sions or daughters overseas for something so trivial

Trivial???

You gotta quit listening to the liberal news , There are Underlying reasons that US the public will never realize.

Its a long term Chess game and we aren't privy to the Rules

Got another 1000 go fast but don't hit very hard and 500 hit hard but don't go very fast coming in the event civility don't work. I'm kind of partial to the ol school way to independence. This legal independence talks take to long and to be truthful I'm getting very tired of being labeled as a racist and would like to dole out a little bit of justice to those that slander.

Certainly not something I’ld be posting about on the internet,,,


The federalist are going to be looking for reason's to take it up another notch

And this is why we have to leave. Not saying your a sheeple but we've got to many sheeple and not enough wolves
No one should be fearful of the government. In fact it should be the government that should be afraid.

One thing I'm learning more of is Alberta history. I don't remember learning in school that 600000 Americans come up from the Midwest. Farmers and cattlemen. Those that have been to Alberta and other provinces might of noticed we're a little different from the rest in terms of attitudes and freedom minded. I think this contributed to us being the way we are. Thanks. American Cousins.

… I went a couple times for work … got along well with the people there

Can include Eastern WA and Eastern OR in the states with rural folks unhappy about being ruled by urbanite liberals

Norwest,,,,, we don’t need folks saying stupid stuff on the internet

That’s why I said,,,,,

Shakey,,,,,No shortage of bias in that article

If I remember correctly… when I was over there … the Albertans weren’t fond of Quebecans … pakis … and especially newfies lol

Shakey,,,,,No shortage of bias in that article

Whatever happens, the most interesting thing I’ve read on the post regards the Hutterites. I am not sure what to think regarding that, I guess I’m skepticsl as Hutterites are pacifists that avoid politics and voting and strongly believe in separation of church and state. As strong pacifists they are more worried about their communal life and the freedom to live the way in which they do. I personally can’t see them wanting to jump off the train that has allowed them to accumulate massive land ownership and wealth.

The Hutterites are very freedom oriented and are all on board Alberta independence

Even they can see the writing on the wall, as far as the future of Canada

Shakey,,,

Nobody thinks it will be easy,,, and all roses

The alternative is very horrific

There are actually no negatives to a independent Alberta

There has yet to be a single reason presented to albertans, on why Alberta should remain in Canada

Citizen led petitions are very powerful in a true democracy

The US won’t be our only trading partner,,,, but it’s certainly our biggest

So, I've been following this although not very closely. Explain it to me like I am 5. What has to happen from where you are now for Alberta to secede from Canada?

Despite some new momentum, the independence movement faces significant obstacles. Dueling petitions reflect a gap in the relative popularity of the two movements. Stay Free Alberta launched a pro-independence petition in January of 2026, requiring a minimum threshold of 177,732 signatures. The anti-independence group Forever Canada launched a petition in Autumn 2025 with a minimum threshold of 293,976 signatures.

Forever Canada is believed to have garnered some 438,568 verified signatures in the sign-up period, where Stay Free Alberta reportedly just made its threshold – though this remains unconfirmed pending legal challenges. Success isn’t assured yet though given that a significant portion of the signatures are ultimately invalidated in any petition process.

Further, on April 10, the Court of King’s Bench issued a stay after a challenge from the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation and the Blackfoot Confederacy. The legal action freezes the certification of signatures for a month on the grounds that secession without consultation of First Nations violates their treaty rights.

The CEO of Alberta Prosperity Project, Mitch Sylvestre, responded to a poll indicating 26% of Albertans supported independence by saying: “Polls are irrelevant, as far as we’re concerned here. We’re not paying attention to them”, thereby raising questions about the credibility of their organization, and how realistic they are being about their goals.

Not sure if the Hutterite comment was meant for me?

I can assure you that they are supporters,,,

Point out one negative,,,

Give one legit reason Alberta should remain in Canada?

That one article someone posted says:



Seems like they got their hands full.
