ER Editor: Albertans are understandably angry after globalist Mark Carney got elected on Monday, producing yet another globalist-Liberal government. A reminder that Alberta is the province which, with huge natural resources, carries the weight of the country on its shoulders, financially propping up elite eastern provinces like Ontario and Quebec while receiving little in return. Cameron Parke discusses this with Jim Ferguson below.
While Albertans have been rallying for independence for a few decades to no satisfactory outcome, as the article points out below, we believe this time there may be a critical difference. We suspect that Canada is already slated to become some sort of ‘51st state‘ equivalent. (No, it may not even be a sovereign nation.) We further suspect that Carney, probably taken out under EO 13818, was put in as a 2.0 regardless of any actual federal vote. Ergo, predictable segments of Alberta are reacting very vociferously in the current situation. But leading to what? There might be a ‘what’ this time around, but we’re not sure how this will play out. Basically, how do we get from where we are, to Canada becoming part of the US? That’s the question.
Danielle Smith’s new bill, Bill 54, discussed below, usefully reforms parts of the election process, making it easier to recall candidates and produce citizen initiatives. There is also a ban on the use of electronic vote tabulators. See the City News piece below, and this Edmonton Journal report —
Alberta bill seeks to reintroduce union, corporate contributions, ban tabulators and lower recall threshold
We are connecting Bill 54 with Albertans’ disgruntlement at Monday’s federal election result because, as the title below indicates, the bill would make it ‘easier to separate from Canada.’ Hmmm.

Alberta introduces bill that would make it easier to separate from Canada
SEAN AMATO for CITY NEWS
A day after Canada’s Liberals won a fourth consecutive mandate, Alberta’s government has introduced a bill that would make it easier to start a referendum – including one on separating from Canada.
“We were going to introduce it regardless of what the outcome was,” said Alberta Premier Danielle Smith. “It just so happens that this is the timing now that we’re back from a week of constituency break.”

Bill 54 proposes many changes to Alberta’s election rules. Among them is lowering the threshold for a citizen-led referendum to 10 per cent of people who voted in the last election. It would currently take 20 per cent of eligible voters.
The bill would also allow 120 days to gather those signatures – a boost from 90 days.
Alberta’s premier says Pierre Poilievre should stay on as Conservative leader, despite losing his seat. She does not have any regrets over any influence she may have had on the results. #ableg

While the premier openly wanted Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives to win, she says she’s still not a separatist after Mark Carney’s victory.
“I believe in Alberta sovereignty within a united Canada,” Smith said. “However, there is a citizen referenda process that if citizens want to put a question on a ballot and get enough of their fellow citizens to sign that petition, then those questions will be put forward. Again, I don’t want to prejudge what a question might be.” (ER: This sounds to us like a mixed message.)
‘Leave public life forever’
But the Alberta NDP is accusing the premier’s stance of being both dangerous and cowardly. (ER: The NDP has crashed as a party …)
“If you’re going to flirt with separatism, call a referendum,” said Naheed Nenshi. “Just do it and let’s see what Albertans have to say. And by the way, premier, when you lose that referendum, please leave public life forever.”
In the lead-up to the federal election, nearly one-third of Albertans (30 per cent) told a pollster they would want to separate from Canada if the Liberals were elected again.
An Alberta independence rally is being planned for Saturday at the legislature.
Among the growing list of separatists is the new leader of the Republican Party of Alberta.
Cameron Davies, a former UCP organizer, is now promising hundreds of townhalls to promote a divorce from Canada.
“After decades of attempts at reconciliation with the rest of Canada, now is the time to end the abusive and toxic relationship with Ottawa and the east that we find ourselves in today,” Davies said.
Alberta independence talk is not new and it’s still not realistic, says political columnist Graham Thomson.
