I used to be a federalist. I used to believe in Canada. I love what Canada once was. On the wall in my office is my Canadian Armed Forces Officer Commissioning Scroll, and a copy of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. But the Canada of today is not the Canada I grew up in. It is no longer the nation I stood up for. Canadians rights have been disregarded. Democracy has become just a byword, not what citizens can expect and aspire to without a fight. Ideology has replaced equality and justice. Families are under attack. Over the past year I have examined the facts. I stepped back to self examine my own biases. I looked behind the curtain of the Canadian government press releases and media "reporting". What I found was a broken nation, its heart and soul gone, its character reduced to identity politics and forced unequal wealth redistribution. Scandals. Dishonesty. Empathetic suicide. Self destructive economic policies. In my recent advocacy for an Alberta referendum to give everyone a voice, I have been slandered, attacked, threatened, and received such vulgar responses from federalists that it is truly shocking and heartbreaking. But seeing how far Canada has fallen, it is not surprising. It validates the point that the Canadian experiment has failed. Today my Canadian Armed Forces Officer Commissioning Scroll, and a copy of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms are still on my office wall as a historical record. Today I support Alberta Independence. Today I grieve a lost and destroyed Canada. I miss what Canada once was, but it is time to dust ourselves off, stand up again, and move forward. On October 19th, vote for a brighter future. Vote for Option 2.

The problems with this late Lukaszuk disclosure are 1) His website say there are no limits 2) He solicited donations from outside Alberta Both of these are illegal and violations of the financing rules. P.S. Both the website and X post are still up and saying this even today.
NOW he wants to follow the rules? After weeks of serious questions about alleged foreign money connected to Forever Canadian, Thomas Lukaszuk waits until one month out to discover accountability. Why wasn’t everything transparent and compliant from day one?

Folks, the numbers are in on the affordability of Alberta Independence. Bravo, Dennis! 👏
Ok everybody, its been a journey with some of the finest Albertans to walk the face of this earth, but we have just posted Forward to Freedom on the website. It answers one question. Once the transition is over, does Alberta raise enough to pay for a country? A resounding yes is the answer. Read for yourself albertatransitioncouncil.com…

Premier Smith says Alberta needs a seat at the table. My argument is simple: a seat matters most when you arrive with leverage. I believe Option 2 strengthens Alberta’s negotiating position with Ottawa. Option 1 maintains the existing constitutional relationship--status quo. That strategic choice is worth thinking carefully about before October 19. calgaryherald.com/news/local…

Press release: new reports find Alberta could afford the transition to independence and have billions left over each year. One-time transition cost: about C$5 billion. Room remaining every year after that: C$22.2 to C$32.1 billion. Full release and both reports ⬇️ albertatransitioncouncil.com…

Even stay-in-Canada Albertans should vote Option 2. It’s not a vote to leave. It’s a vote that Ottawa’s current deal is broken — and it gives Danielle Smith the leverage she needs. Option 1 tells Carney we’re fine with the status quo. We’re not. calgaryherald.com/news/local…

More Ottawa. More restrictions. More of Alberta’s future decided for us. Staying on the same path has a cost too. Keith Wilson challenges the latest independence cost report and explains the economic strength and negotiating power it overlooks. Option 2 is not a vote for independence. It’s a vote to say the relationship is broken and Alberta deserves better.

Canadian federal government corruption continues unabated. Albertans, you don’t need to pay for this private liberal pocket lining. On October 19th, Vote option 2!
Liberal MP Idlout, who left the NDP to join Mark Carney, has been found by the Ethics Commitmssion to break the ethics laws under the Conflict of Interest Code for MPs. > she made purchases at her own store then had taxpayers reimburse her. > she stayed at her husband's Bed and Breakfast at the expense of taxpayers. The worst part? She knew it is a violation A 2022 advisor's note records that she was specifically told she couldn't buy gifts from her gallery with her office budget, and was "very much aware of this."
