@the.apokalypsis.saga: Alberta Separatists are unintentional satire. They confirm my commentary in real time. 😂 Here’s a video of me responding to some of their comments and correcting their “theories.” #cdnpoli #abpoli #IndigenousTikTok #constitution #law

Les Butler :

Hey Darren Verhulst, if Alberta heats 90% of Canadian homes, why is the cost/kWh so much higher in Alberta than the other provinces - according to Canada Energy Regulator?

Shauna :

Also, Canada could choose other forms of power such as wind, solar, nuclear and they’d probably want to reduce reliance, meanwhile, Alberta would still be land locked and have to negotiate with the provinces or the US. US in not going to negotiate the most favourable terms for Alberta

48one :

Question I’ll ask you is if Alberta has a successful vote on separation and Ottawa doesn’t allow, but other countries recognize it, where will Canada sit if Alberta took its separation case to the world courts. Remember 2014 when the Donbas region claimed independence from Ukraine and now look where Ukraine is now. If Alberta said we are seperating without any consent from Canada would the USA back Alberta, military training and equipment. Ukraine was trained by nato forces from 2014 to 2020 they stopped because of covid. This is why Ukraine has been strong against Russia. Canada has a military of 68,000 this includes soldiers already deployed abroad. Yeah Albertans still have their guns. Of course this is food for thought, how far is Alberta willing to go.?

Thanks!

Jacked Rick :

Are you arguing that oil in Alberta wouldn't go with the province upon separation? I don't think I've heard that argument before, probably because it makes no sense. Territorial sovereignty is one of the main things that makes a nation a nation. Also, good faith negotiations means, like you said, the other provinces can't just say no, so what exactly are you arguing?

Jonathan 🇨🇦 :

we dont have a petro dollar like America. The alberta dollar would be useless and fluctuate with oil prices since thats what would back theyre money.

metisgreg 🇨🇦 :

Lol. No, the influences creating value for the CAD will just not include oil and will redistribute based on what’s remaining in the economy. Also the petro dollar is no longer a thing as much as it was in the early 2000s, he’s about 20 years late on his economic brilliance lol

@lokihott: Dear proud Alberta dad I’ve been thinking about the idea of Alberta separatism and wanted to share my perspective in a thoughtful and respectful way. I understand where some of the frustration comes from. Many Albertans feel that federal policies—especially around energy and equalization—don’t always reflect the province’s priorities or contributions. That concern is real, and it deserves to be heard. At the same time, I believe separation would create more problems than it solves. Alberta’s economy is deeply tied to the rest of Canada, from trade and investment to infrastructure and labour mobility. Breaking away would introduce major uncertainty, particularly for key industries like oil and gas that depend on access to broader markets and stable agreements. There are also practical challenges that are easy to overlook. Questions about currency, pensions, national debt, and trade agreements would all need to be resolved, and none of those would be simple or risk-free. Even basic things—like moving goods across borders or maintaining financial stability—could become more complicated and costly. Beyond economics, there’s also the issue of influence. As part of Canada, Alberta has a voice in shaping national policy. Outside of it, that influence would be significantly reduced, especially on issues that still directly affect the province. For me, the better path is working within Canada to push for changes that better reflect Alberta’s interests, rather than stepping into the uncertainty of separation. I appreciate being able to share this perspective, and I’m always open to hearing yours as well. Sincerely,

Which country has conservatism made great? Conservatism was the cause of the greatest depression the world has known, the second greatest depression the world has known, the decline of America the once greatest country the world has known, the decline of Britain under Margaret Thatcher and the Tories. The 12 poorest states in America are all conservatives while the 12 richest states are all liberals. where in the world has conservatism worked? It is worse than communism and should be banned!

TheJonny5ive :

Leverage is a funny argument anyway. A land locked single resource country with the world’s most violent bully country as their only buyer of that resource, who already own the companies that extract the resource. Without the labour force needed due to an aging population & an extremely politically divided electorate… and no military… who do they think they are?? Do they actually think the US will save them??? No fucking way! They’ll exploit the ever loving shit out of them!!
