Alberta WILL VOTE as CANADA hits full PANIC MODE

Added: 2026-05-15

[00:00:02]Premier Danielle Smith took to the airwaves very quickly yesterday after the announcement that a liberalapp appointed Trudeau judge was essentially dismissing the voices of 300,000 Albertans which went out in the cold a cold bitter Alberta winter and signed a petition on a declaration that they wanted a referendum to be held on independence.

[00:00:30]Well, the premier quickly answered anybody's questions, and I was actually shocked at how fast she decided to talk about it. We talked about it on last night's live stream, which by the way, if you didn't join us for that live stream, you might want to go and check it out. We had one of our epic rants over on that liveream. Uh, but nonetheless, Premier Smith has pretty much stated at this point, we're getting the vote on October 19th.

[00:00:56]Now, a lot of people in that live stream were saying, "Well, she said that they're going to appeal and that she's going to talk to her cabinet and uh that's not really a guarantee that the vote is happening October 18th." I want to maybe ease everyone's frustrations for a little bit when we talk about what the next steps will be because Premier Smith has pinned herself into a corner.

[00:01:18]It doesn't matter if you think she's a Federalist. It doesn't matter if you think she's on the side of independence and is playing 4DHS. None of that matters anymore. What Premier Smith has done is rather than step up at the beginning of her tenure as premier and say, "Look, I understand Albertans are frustrated. We're going to do everything in our power to make sure we get a deal." This could have been the process the entire time was to negotiate a deal for Alberta and then come out like she's going to do tomorrow and champion some kind ofou, which I'm sure people will get frust frustrated over for a pipeline that will never happen. Instead, while all of that's going on, while the premier has been doing her due diligence under the uh mandate she was given, she has also brought in bill 4, Bill 54.

[00:02:06]She has allowed Albertans to hold grassroots citizen-led initiatives on referendums.

[00:02:16]So what she has stated here is now that she's pinned herself into a corner is a decision will have to be made and whether it's Tom Leazac's petition of 400,000 signatures or the stay free Alberta petition at 300,000 signatures that's roughly she says 700,000 even though people from both sides could have signed but to her quote 700,000 people are upset with the way things are run and they're demanding their voices be heard. She's reading the room. We've said from day one that this is the point of garnering as many signatures as you can. Politicians don't care about optics in terms of how other politicians feel about them. They don't care about uh if a small handful of people are upset about what they're doing. What they care about are their voters. They care about if they're going to remain in power, if they can keep their job. Premier Smith has championed a sovereign Alberta.

[00:03:12]Well, that includes listening to the will of the people, just as we asked her to do in yesterday's video when we talked about the court ruling being slapped down. Cory Morgan comes out to say she's correct. If she thinks she add uh if she thinks advocates are going to wait for an appeal now though, she's dreaming in Technicolor. She must either schedule the referendum herself or the thousands of volunteers who petitioned will decide themselves uh for her removal.

[00:03:39]We told everybody to go and get UCP memberships. this is the reason you want those. Now, Premier Smith, one way or another, is calling the vote on October 19th. Many people have said this is stalling. Uh the the appeal to the courts is going to take forever. It's not one of those things that uh I feel normally takes a long period of time. If the federal or the provincial government is going to approach the courts, if the courts wish to stall or if the courts refuse or if the courts don't deliver an option that is suitable to Premier Smith, she has the power and the ability at any time to call the date.

[00:04:14]This is merely um her doing a formality.

[00:04:19]This is her making sure that all processes are run accordingly. Uh and I'm going to get into that later in this video. The good news, folks, is that Alberta separatism is going to boom now in the province. Table salt has a very, very truthful post here. Nothing will stoke Alberta separatism more than having an unelected judge telling them they can't leave Canada.

[00:04:43]Now, we've got Mark Carney chiming in on it. We're going to talk about that because Mark Carney was approached shortly after to get his two cents on what happened. Um, but even the National Post, governmentfueled prostitute media comes out to say, "Judge is far too quick to toss out separation petition with 300,000 signatures." There is no way to unrecognize that over a quarter of a million people during the cold, and keep in mind, this isn't the final number. There's a silent majority. There are those who were scared to sign the petition. There are those who didn't want to.

[00:05:21]Now you're being told you can't ignore the will of 300,000 people.

[00:05:28]So what we're seeing now is Mark Carney coming out and being questioned as he calls himself a proud Albertan by Rebel News. U he's basically saying here that the government's going to do everything they can to stop Alberta from leaving Canada, which is fine. They're federalists. They want Canada's credit card. But just for context, let's take a listen to what Mark Carney had to say. How worried are you about the prospect of Alberta voting to separate and do you believe a referendum should be held?

[00:05:57]>> I u a couple of things. One is uh first the the role my role uh and the role of the federal government is uh and we're pursuing this is to practice cooperative federalism to work with the provinces work with the ter territories work with indigenous Canadians uh and get things done on behalf of all Canadians. That's what we're doing with the province of Alberta. Uh I as someone who was uh raised in Alberta um proud Albertan um I view that uh very much uh the best place for Alberta can uh is in Canada um and certainly a Canada that works which is what we're uh what we're pursuing. Um and I think the evidence well others will judge but uh we're making that we're making that progress on behalf of Albertans but by making Alberta stronger we're making all of Canada stronger.

[00:06:46]Look, in terms of um any referendum, uh this we're a democracy. We have uh standards and and an ability for uh provinces to uh to hold referenda on and on on a variety of subjects. Um and if following the rules, um they hold referendums, obviously we support that.

[00:07:06]That means respecting uh the rights of uh indigenous peoples, respecting the rights of people to privacy. It reads uh if it's a referendum on separation in any uh province, it has to be consistent with the Clarity Act and uh our role is to make sure those uh um it's role of other authorities in many cases to ensure that those rights are respected uh with respect to the clarity act as I'm sure you know uh ultimately parliament has a role in making the judgment about uh about the question. Uh but I'll I'll go back and then hand back to you Abigail. Um, I'll go back to where I started. The core thing is >> Okay. Okay. Enough, Mark. Enough stumbling. He look, he can't even answer the question because he can't even put something together. He's just running in circles. He said, "How many times about indigenous rights? How many times about the clarity of a question?" The question that was submitted by StayFree Alberta was written around the wording of the Clarity Act for a reason. And this is where the government has a stalemate as well. You can't say that Alberta can't hold a referendum on separation, but Quebec can. This is why Premier Smith mentioned multiple times during her press conference yesterday. I'm sure our friends in Quebec will have something to say on this as well. You can't say it's okay for one, but not the other. It has to be all or nothing. And I'll tell you right now, if Mark Carney tries to shut down what Alberta can do, Quebec's going to get their back up in the air pretty quick and they're going to push back. Uh this is this is going to be glorious.

[00:08:38]The real war begins now, folks. And I'm going to get into the CBC because, boy, they're they're literally melting down over this whole thing. We've already talked about how the media is going to attack, how they're going to come out guns blazing. They already have over the last couple of weeks. But it gets even worse. You can see here uh the um the the chief in one of the chiefs in Alberta who comes out uh to smile and sneer and say how great this is for Albertans.

[00:09:10]This guy doesn't care about Albertans.

[00:09:12]He's paid by special interest groups. In fact, uh if you want to if you want to understand, he took $55,000 to oppose oil sands in Alberta uh independence as well.

[00:09:25]This is the guy who stood up in front of an NDP banner. Who do you think's paying him? My guess is not just the Tides Foundation, which paid him to oppose the oil sands, as they're currently suing the government, by the way, for what they're doing in oil and gas. So, not only do they want to shut down independence, they also want to shut down oil and gas. But he now stands in front of an NDP sign, which we know according to Tom Leesac, that 40 times the funding came to for his signature petition drive. Uh, it's all done by unions.

[00:09:54]How much money is this chief being given to oppose Alberta independence and also oppose the will of his people as Rebel News did a poll finding that roughly 46% of First Nations residents that they pled asking about independence back and support independence. So he's openly defying his people to have a voice.

[00:10:16]So he calls it a win for a democratic process. Watch him smile here as he tells the CBC that this corrupt chief uh is thinks this is a win for Alberta.

[00:10:26]Look at the smile on his face.

[00:10:28]>> It's a good win for Canada. It's a good win for Albertans. U it is a democratic process because that's what the Constitution is there for. It's a good win for Canada. It's a good win for Albertans.

[00:10:41]>> So, I'll tell you what. If you truly do not like Alberta independence, if you don't want to vote on that, if you think that you have the right to oppose and stop even though treaties 6, seven, and 8, and we've gone over it, I'm not going to whip a dead horse any further. Uh what the what the writing says on that, then how about we audit this chief? How about we find out where his funds are coming from? How about a little transparency on his end? If he's going to sit there and say, "Oh, this is a win for the democratic process." It's not.

[00:11:11]Even Premier Smith said it's undemocratic.

[00:11:15]What's funny is is you have um David Cochran, the human phus on CTV News or CBC, sorry, they're all the same.

[00:11:27]Bringing on whoever they can now to try and attack Alberta because they can't handle the fact that Premier Smith has come out and said, "Uh, we're going to read the room. We're going to listen to 300,000 people. We're not going to ignore the will of 300,000 people like your government did during the freedom convoy. We're not going to uh mute the voices of those who wish to hold their government to account. Take a look.

[00:11:52]>> The prime minister has a real challenge because Daniel Smith clearly has no political incentive to get to a finish line when it comes to conflict with Ottawa. And she has made a choice here to accelerate to ratchet up the pressure. Um, I think Tim is exactly right that in that press conference, the key word there was undemocratic. There's nothing undemocratic about the judge's decision. She may not like it. She may wish to appeal it, and that's well within her government's rights, but it's not undemocratic. And her choice there is to run down the very system itself.

[00:12:23]And I think at the end of the day, Albertans have to look around and realize that what has what the outcome of this push on separation and sovereignty has been so far is to destabilize the investment environment in the province dramatically. Um, and now to put almost 3 million Albertans personal information up on the open web.

[00:12:40]That's what the consequence has been.

[00:12:41]>> So, they're still running on this data breach, which by the way, I've said before the data breach is terrible. It shouldn't have happened. and those responsible if they have broken the law should be formally charged.

[00:12:54]Uh they're trying to rope it all into the same thing. Centurion was separate from everything else that's happening.

[00:13:00]They're not linked or a part of stay free Alberta or the petition process.

[00:13:06]What's funny is is that they sit here and talk about Premier Smith being the villain that she's destabilizing investment in Alberta. Can anybody in Alberta tell me down in the comments when was the last time you heard about mass investment coming into Alberta in the last 10 years? I can't think of a single thing that has happened in this province. Aside from an announcement from Kevin Olirri, I think that was the last time I heard about data centers being built here uh in terms of investment. Whether you agree with it or not, I think that was the last time I heard any investment since Trudeau took office.

[00:13:38]The investment that's being hurt in Alberta is because of Mark Carney and Justin Trudeau's bad policies. It's because of a tanker ban. It's because of an emissions cap. It's because of net zero. It's because of decarbonized oil, whatever the hell that is.

[00:13:54]Oil companies can't build pipelines to give people jobs to go spend money in other industries and buy toys and eat out at restaurants if they can't produce the oil. I've said before, it's like a pyramid. what what affects the person at the top affects everybody else running down. But this fart-thuffing individual wants to come on to CBC News and say that somehow Danielle Smith is the one chasing out investment and that well she can appeal and she has the right to appeal it. Well, she also has the right to call the referendum at any time she likes which she will do. And here's the reason why. Thank God for Sheila Gun Reed. And again, Rebel News working as a third-party advertiser in this whole ordeal.

[00:14:37]Majority of UCP voters support independence according to a new poll.

[00:14:41]They don't just think about it. They don't just flirt with it. They would vote to leave. That is not fringe. That is the base.

[00:14:49]60% of people pled who vote UCP said they would indefinitely vote to leave Canada in this poll. And that is just one poll, ladies and gentlemen, which means a small sample size of people.

[00:15:04]It's not the whole province because if people say, "Well, it's only 60% of the people who vote for Danielle. That's only like 250,000 people."

[00:15:14]It's a sample size.

[00:15:17]Jeff Wrath has touted for many months that 80% of UCP voters back independence.

[00:15:25]Now, to put that into perspective, we've talked about the referendum that was held by Fat Stalin over here when he was premier of Alberta to end equalization payments. 600,000 some odd Albertans voted in that referendum in favor to end equalization. Well, 300,000 opposed. My guess is the majority of those 600,000 voters also vote for the UCP. So when you take into account the people who signed the petition, the people who are off in the background saying they were scared to sign the petition, the silent majority waiting in the background as Mark Carney emerges to tell them, hey, things are going to get better while doing nothing, the numbers are quite favorable at this point for Alberta separation. And much like table salt said, nothing is going to fuel separation more than an unelected judge telling Albertans they don't have a choice. they can't leave Canada. Things are about to get really heated. And again, I welcome it. I think that the more damage done by Jason Kenny, the more uh rhetoric that comes from him, the more judges want to oppose the will of the people, the more that Mark Carney wants to emerge and say that he's doing things for Alberta, he's working to build Canada strong and do all these wonderful things for Alberta. Keep in mind, folks, I'm more than sure willing to bet tomorrow's video will be something about anou pipeline. And I'm willing to bet people will be upset about it and people will be pointing the finger at Danielle Smith. Mark my words, people will be upset. But what you can rest assure at the end of the day is that Premier Smith, whether you like her, hate her, or disagree with her.

[00:16:59]She's backed into a corner and if she wishes to keep her job, she has no other option than to call a referendum at this point. One way or another, folks, Alberta is voting to leave Canada October 19th. those at the CBC, the Forever Canada people, the First Nations, they can all sit and clutch their pearls. But one way or another, ladies and gentlemen, it's going down and it's about to get wild and we're going to be here covering all of it.
