Alberta Independence

Europe is becoming a museum. The continent has 450 million people, a $20 trillion economy, and the world's best quality of life. Yet, economically and geopolitically, it is resigning from the future. In this forensic audit, we explore the "Venice-ification" of Europe—tracing how the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution became a retirement home for the world.

When the American colonies broke away from Britain, the northern territories chose a different path—staying under British rule and defining themselves in contrast to the United States. Over the next two centuries, the U.S. repeatedly shaped Canada’s economy through trade policy, tariffs, and control of market access, steadily tying Canada’s prosperity to American demand. Today, Canada is one of the most closely integrated economies with the United States: wealthy, but heavily dependent on a single partner. In recent years, protectionist policies, new tariffs, and “America First” politics have shown how quickly that dependence can turn from advantage into risk. Canada was built to remain separate from the United States—but its future may depend on how long it can keep that independence in practice

In the year 1900, the United States had a rival. There was another country in the Americas that was rich, fertile, and growing faster than almost anyone else on Earth. It had a highly educated population. It had massive natural resources. It had a European culture and a booming export economy. Economists in London and New York predicted that this country would be the "Superpower of the 20th Century." That country was Argentina. But it didn't become a superpower. Instead, it became the only nation in history to transition from "Developed" to "Developing." It got rich selling beef and grain, got comfortable, and forgot to build anything else. When the world changed, Argentina didn't. It slowly, politely, and quietly suffocated.

Hong Kong Diaspora Groups Sound the Alarm on Carney's Secret PRC Police Deal

We sit down with Professor Bruce Pardy to unpack his bold vision for a new constitution in the event of Alberta’s separation. Pardy argues that Canada’s system has produced a managerial state—one that prizes order over freedom. Could the Alberta Separation chart a different course by flipping the script and limiting government to just three roles: policing, courts, and military defense? In this episode, we dive into: • Why Canada restricts free speech more than the U.S. does • The failures of internal reform and judicial overreach • What Alberta's independence could look like under a minimal government model. • The real challenges of funding healthcare, schools, and public goods without taxation. • How freedom is redefined as the absence of state coercion.

The ultimate Liberal Shell Game. Canada lost 25,000 jobs in January 2026. But the unemployment rate fell to 6.5%. How? Because 119,000 Canadians stopped looking for work. The rate doesn't measure recovery. It measures who's still in the room. This is the Denominator Trick — and once you see it, you'll never trust the headline again.

columnist Brian Lilley to unpack Prime Minister Mark Carney’s emerging trade and cooperation agenda with the People’s Republic of China — and why I argue these agreements could accelerate Canada’s decline on multiple fronts.

Well, since you put it that way!

You can buy a house in rural Canada for fifty thousand dollars. So why are millions of Canadians still drowning in rent in Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal? Because the choice was never city versus countryside. It was engine versus wreckage. In this video, we audit the Geography Trap — the system that funnels an entire country into three postal codes and leaves everything else to rot. The Mobility Tax that kills your rural savings. The Service Desert where emergency rooms lock their doors on weekends. The Return-to-Office conspiracy that chained you back to the expensive city. And the historical precedent from Newfoundland that proves Canada has been emptying its own towns since the nineteen-fifties. Is the rural discount real? Or is it just a different way to pay the bill?

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.
