The mainstream media just called the election for Justin Trudeau and his Liberal Party.

Canada re-elected a Prime Minister with multiple ethics violations under his belt, who is committed to phasing out our oil and gas industry, and who will continue to impose an unbalanced equalization program that requires Alberta to pay billions towards government programs in other provinces.

Election after election, time and time again, the Canadian electoral system panders to Eastern Canadians while Albertans foot the bill.

Under the equalization program, Alberta's total net fiscal transfers to the rest of Canada have exceeded more than $650 billion. On the other hand, Alberta has not received a dime under the Equalization Program since 1965, not even last year, as our province ran a record $17 billion deficit. Albertans are not being treated fairly by Ottawa.

Even though Alberta is expected to pay the bills of Canada's other provinces, our newly re-elected Liberal government is committed to a “Just Transition” plan designed to unilaterally phase out Alberta’s oil industry, throwing thousands of families into the unemployment line.


If you believe that it's time for Albertans to get their say in an Independence referendum, sign this petition demanding that an independence referendum be held in Alberta:

The canadian government has proven it only cares for half the country and takes from the other half. For the people to have a government that works for our country entirely and cares for us all we need to create it ourselves with rules that can't be broken unlike the broken system of Canada.

I have come to believe that the gap between the east and west is to massive of an expanse to ever be bridged. Our morals, values and beliefs are just to different for there to ever be time when those from both geographical sides will ever both feel heard and happy

Canada is Politically broken and no Federal Politician wants to fix it. Because this would require opening the rigged Constitution to make each Province equal and giving the Rights and Freedoms back to the People.

Independence would give Alberta more power in negotiating with the east, as they would need to agree to a pipeline if they want any sort of payments. On the other hand, federal pensions may pose an issue for Albertans, as they may risk losing out on a pension if they are no longer a Canadian.

If nothing else we need to send a message. When I try to communicate with many Ontarians I’m told that they are sick and tired of our whining and don’t care what we have to say. So much for inclusivity and understanding.

Alberta keeps getting screwed. Canada's federal system is slanted towards the East, and we in the West will never get a fair shake in Confederation. It's time that we begin considering our position.
