this from keith wilson an hour ago...My read of Justice Leonard’s decision: it does not prohibit an Alberta independence referendum. The ruling is much narrower and merely technical. It says Bill 14’s transition provisions did not revive or validate the Sylvestre independence citizen-initiative petition after the earlier proposal had already been rejected. The decision today points to a cleaner lawful route: the secession referendum needs to be initiated by Alberta’s Cabinet under the Referendum Act, not through the Citizen Initiative Act. It also makes clear that the Government must consult First Nations before the vote, in case there is a potential impact on Treaty and traditional rights. That means the ball is now in the Smith government’s court to set the secession question for the October 2026 referendum (just like the Supreme Court of Canada envisioned in the 1998 Reference Case).

Last week, Alberta made history. Over 301,620 Albertans signed the petition calling for a referendum on Alberta independence, far surpassing the 177,732 signatures required. It was a powerful demonstration that Albertans are ready to have a real conversation about our future and our place within Confederation. Now, Ottawa is reminding us exactly why this movement matters. The federal government’s continued attacks on lawful firearms owners once again show how disconnected Ottawa has become from the values, culture, and priorities of everyday Albertans. Policies imposed from the top down, without respect for Alberta’s voice, continue to deepen the divide between our province and the federal government. Albertans are tired of being ignored.
Tired of being overruled.
Tired of having our industries, livelihoods, and way of life targeted by politicians thousands of kilometres away. The petition milestone was historic! But this is only the beginning. We are now awaiting the start of the official verification phase, which will determine whether the referendum question proceeds to a province-wide vote in October 2026. The months ahead will be critical as Albertans continue building momentum, raising awareness, and preparing for what could become one of the most important democratic moments in our province’s history. The Alberta Prosperity Project remains committed to educating Albertans, fostering discussion, and ensuring people have the information they need to make an informed decision about Alberta’s future. An informed public changes history. Your support today helps us continue that work through public engagement, outreach, education initiatives, events, and province-wide advocacy efforts.

The momentum is building. With hundreds of thousands of signatures already delivered, we’re entering the final phase before this fall’s referendum on Alberta’s future. This is our home stretch — and we need your help to make sure every Albertan hears the full story about why more autonomy and control over our own resources, economy, and destiny truly matters. We’re up against well-organized opposition. The Alberta NDP has been actively campaigning against Alberta independence, distributing materials that emphasize risks and uncertainty. Their door-to-door efforts are professional and data-driven, as one of our supporters recently experienced in Windermere. We respect that everyone has a voice in this important conversation. But to ensure our positive vision for Alberta is heard just as loudly, we need to match their energy with strong grassroots outreach of our own. Your support right now will help us: Reach more households with factual information about Alberta’s potential Counter fear-based messaging with clear, hopeful alternatives Organize and mobilize supporters in these final critical months Prepare strong get-out-the-vote efforts for the referendum Whether you can give $25, $50, $100, or any amount — every contribution makes a real difference in this decisive phase.

News Flash: It has been reported via eye witness statements that children were seen signing the Former Alberta deputy's premier Thomas Lukaszuk Forever Canadian petition. It was reported that teachers were bussing children to the petition and coaching them to sign. #Canada #Alberta #Stayfree #letsgo

Every parent asks the same question: What kind of future will my children inherit? Will they build a life close to home, or will they be forced to leave Alberta for work? Will they afford a home, raise a family, build security? For too long, Alberta families have watched their wealth flow east. $244.6 billion more than we've received back since 2007. And now parental rights are eroding. Federal policies increasingly intrude on family decisions: what schools teach, how children are raised, and values that were once the parent's domain. A sovereign Alberta constitution would guarantee: Parents’ right to raise their children according to their values. The Alberta Prosperity Project is funded by supporters like you. Help us educate Albertans about sovereignty. Consider making a donation today:

Imagine a Canada where religious expression loses its legal protection. Where a pastor's sermon could face legal scrutiny without the automatic shield that once existed. This isn't hypothetical. It's happening now. Bill C-9, fast-tracked through a political deal with the Bloc Québécois, would remove the religious exemption from hate-speech laws. That means religious statements could face legal challenges without the protection previously available. And there's more. In December 2024, a federal committee recommended removing "advancement of religion" as a charitable purpose. Over 40% of Canada's charities could be affected. But there is a path forward.

SOVEREIGNS: When we are ready for a change and we know this, when it comes we are surprised. We remember the “ready” part. We had to do everything on our own for years. We find ourselves constantly on alert. We put ourselves at risk of burnout and bitterness if we remain in a defensive mode, always feeling like we are a burden when we seek help from others. We all deserve to experience support, love, and genuine connections. Take a chance on forming new connections. Take a chance on change. We may find joy in letting others help us. Yes, we can always rely on ourselves but every once in a while, allow others to support us. We don’t have to do it all on our own. There is simply no change that might ever transpire that happens before we are fully able to use it for our own growth and glory. Love watching us create and manifest. Change is growth and enlightening. Remember who we are. Sovereignty forever.

We've been thinking about what makes Alberta feel like home. It's the right to worship freely. It's family dinners that stretch into evening. The freedom to live by your convictions without asking permission. These aren't just traditions. They're the foundation of everything we value. But Ottawa doesn't see it that way. Last December, a federal committee recommended removing "advancement of religion" as a charitable purpose. Nearly 40% of Canada's charities would be affected. Now Bill C-9 is moving to remove protections for religious expression — reading from sacred texts could become legally risky. Canada's Charter doesn't explicitly protect property rights either. The land families have worked for generations has no ironclad guarantee. These values — faith, family, freedom — won't preserve themselves. Here at APP, we're committed to educating and empowering Albertans to step up and preserve those sacred rights.

I am sorry that the pages are out of order. They are numbered so you can still read this book that sat on the very desk of Premier William Aberhart. We have been here before!
