Alberta Separation Referendum

The Alberta Prosperity Project strives to bolster Alberta’s prosperity, self-determination, and sovereignty. We believe sound policy is the bedrock of prosperity, and we advocate for the need to explore avenues for greater sovereignty within or outside the Canadian federation. Our vision is a sovereign Alberta that prioritizes and safeguards individual freedoms, rights (including life, liberty, property, and the pursuit of happiness), and prosperity. Our mission is to empower the Alberta government to restructure Alberta’s relationship with Canada by mobilizing public support for a referendum on independence.

Sweden isn’t socialist—and it hasn’t been for decades. In this Frankly Speaking, Nadine breaks down the facts: Sweden is a competitive market economy with a large welfare layer, funded by broad-based VAT and income taxes—not by “taxing the rich.” It runs on competition, choice, and personal responsibility: school vouchers (1992), no minimum wage (wages are negotiated), flexible labor markets, lower corporate taxes than Canada, and major pro-market reforms in the 1990s after a socialist experiment failed

On this episode, Adam invites constitutional lawyer Keith Wilson and Tanya Clemens from the Alberta Prosperity Project to break down what would actually happen if Alberta separated from Canada. From pension plans and oil & gas to refining, regulation, and governance, they explore the legal and practical realities behind separation — and what the outcome could look like in the real world. Dive in to learn more.

This video also addresses the recurring 51st state narrative and lays out why that does not work in practical U.S. political terms, even if it gets attention online. The core argument here is independence as an independent country, not annexation.

Eva Chipiuk is a lawyer, entrepreneur, author, and the founder of Empowered Canadians, an organization with the goal of fostering an informed and participatory democracy, united by a shared passion for civic engagement. In this clip from her full speech at the Stay Free Alberta town hall in Calgary on January 26th 2026, Eva explains how Albertans have been pushed to this point, why asking a democratic question is not treason, and what happens after we win our independence from Ottawa.

In this episode of Frankly Speaking, Nadine Wellwood breaks down what happened at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Mark Carney’s “rupture” framing, and why Ottawa’s deepening alignment with China may collide head-on with the United States’ National Security Strategy and the Monroe Doctrine. Nadine argues Canada is drifting away from its natural Western alliance—U.S., NATO, rule of law, energy independence, free expression—and toward EU-style regulation, UN-driven governance, and centralized control, while the U.S. re-industrializes, secures the Western Hemisphere (Arctic/Greenland), and re-prioritizes domestic energy and manufacturing.

No Conclusions Predetermined by Law — Bruce Pardy on Alberta Independence, Treaties & a New Constitution (Part 1) | Sovereign Voice Ep. 3 Does the law force Alberta to keep Ottawa’s constitutional framework if we vote to leave? Legal scholar Bruce Pardy joins Nadine Wellwood to unpack the 1998 Supreme Court “Secession Reference”, Section 35, and whether a new Alberta is obliged to continue Canadian treaties, UNDRIP/DRIPA-style claims, or other two-tier rights. Bruce’s key point: negotiations after a clear “Yes” are political, not judicial—and the Court held “there would be no conclusions predetermined by law on any issue.” In short, Alberta can design a new constitutional architecture (one rule of law for everyone), limit the state’s powers, and avoid copying Ottawa’s centralized model. We also tackle healthcare access vs. single-payer, term limits & “amateur government”, and why democracy ≠ freedom.

Bruce Pardy is professor of law at Queen’s University, senior fellow with the Fraser Institute and executive director of Rights Probe. We discuss the tyranny hidden within Canadian society and government, the prospects for an independent Alberta, and why Alberta will need to purge itself of the Canadian identity should it ever achieve independence.

You don't own your music. You don't own your car. You don't own your home. In Canada, we have moved from an economy of "Owners" to an economy of "Renters." From the housing market to the heated seats in your car, corporations have figured out that "Recurring Revenue" is more profitable than selling products. Combined with Canada's telecom and banking oligopolies, this has created a "Fee Economy" where your income is drained by thousands of tiny cuts before you even wake up. In this video, Hoch audits the "Subscription Trap." We look at the "Oligopoly Tax," the "Right to Repair," and why the Canadian economy is designed to extract rent rather than create wealth.
