You’ve been paying attention. You understand this is really bad. Worse than that, it’s dangerous. Canada has entered another chapter of what has already been a challenging political era. With a new Prime Minister at the helm—backed by powerful connections and a clear mandate to continue centralizing control—we’re bracing for policies that may deepen national divisions rather than heal them.
It would be unfair to say the country is dying. But for many, it’s beginning to feel like we’re watching a nation we once proudly called home drift further from the values that once united us. The era of Carney Carnage is here. While every province will experience it, there’s no secret he’s placed an extra big bulls-eye on Alberta.
It’s not personal, it’s financial.
His plan includes continuing to limit three of Alberta’s most prosperous sectors: energy, agriculture and, by extension, innovation. To acknowledge this requires we abandon our sense of romanticized national nostalgia. Nostalgia is a trap that prevents us from assessing the reality we exist in.
For instance, GDP is considered the financial heartbeat of a country. Over the past decade of Liberal Leadership, the national GDP has been an abysmal 1.1%. By relatable comparison, Mexico was 4%, the UK was 6%, Australia had 8% growth and the US was a whopping 19%.
That’s great information for an economist, but what does it mean to your pay cheque?
A 1% increase of GDP per year for the 10 years means rents are up by 25%, at least, groceries are a larger part of your monthly budget and it is impossible to buy a newer car, TV or other appliances. Does this sound like your reality
We aren’t starving, but we’re not thriving, either.
Does this make sense for 4.5 million people living with the third most abundant energy deposits in the world? There’s an absurdity to the situation Albertans find themselves in. It’s akin to being chronically dehydrated while having a fresh water spring in the backyard.
The life you’ve invested for, the future you believed was ahead, isn’t happening.
So what can you, as an Albertan, do about it?
This Fall, we’ll be provided an opportunity; a life raft in the form of a referendum. It requires curiosity, imagination and courage to step into it, but the option will be there — a once in a lifetime shot at prosperity for you and your family: Alberta Sovereignty.
A successful bid means Albertans can finally paddle out of the perilous economic current that’s battered us for ten long years.
Alberta has the resources, talent and spirit of collaboration to create a prosperous future for our families and communities.
If you want your vote to finally mean something, if you feel you deserve more from your pay-cheque, grocery store visits and need greater control over your family’s future, register your intent to sign YES to sovereignty now.
