Alberta Independence w/ Jeffrey Rath & Chris Scott

Enjoy the Conversation on Alberta Independence with Jeffrey Rath & Chris Scott — From the Live event in Drayton Valley!

Whistle Stop Cafe's Chris Scott and Alberta lawyer Jeffrey Rath, whose fiery new piece “ALBERTA WANTS OUT! An Open Letter to Danielle Smith” is sparking province-wide debate, were on stage for an uncensored, audience-driven discussion about whether Alberta should chart its course.

What’s in the Letter & Why It Matters

Leadership at a Crossroads: Rath says Premier Smith must remove Kenney-era ministers implicated in pandemic misfeasance or risk losing Albertans’ trust.

COVID Accountability Gap: There has been no public inquiry, no retroactive help for shuttered businesses, and no action on vaccine injury concerns.

“Team Alberta,” Not “Team Canada”: He slams Ottawa’s 25 % retaliatory tariffs and Smith’s support for making everything from trucks to tomatoes pricier in Alberta.

20 Reasons to Go It Alone: From axing federal taxes and equalization to cutting fuel costs in half, Rath argues independence could leave Albertans wealthier and freer.

Challenge to the Premier: Give us just five financial reasons to stay in Canada, he says, then prove you’re ready to “captain Team Alberta.”
