Governments are temporary. Parties rise and fall. Leaders change, policies shift, bureaucracies swell and shrink with the times.
That’s the character of politics: it’s temporary by design. Or at least it should be.
After a decade of Liberal rule, the government has become bloated, there’s a new tax every time we blink, traditional – and legal – democratic processes are steam-rolled and the pattern is only accelerating.
But a fresh movement is rising in Alberta. It relies on an old idea. One based in nature.
Sovereignty—real sovereignty—is something deeper, more true and more permanent than any institution. Even one as overbearing as a federal government. It’s not about who holds office or what laws are passed. It’s about the enduring right of people to self-determine. To live in alignment with the truths that don’t change when governments do.
At its core, sovereignty is not granted by a state. It’s recognized. It doesn’t flow downward from force—it rises up from people. People are born sovereign. And Albertans have had this whisper calling them back to sovereignty, their independence, for decades.
This is where Natural Law comes in.
Natural Law is the foundation upon which sovereignty stands. It speaks to the idea that some rights exist before any written law. They are self-evident, unalienable. They belong to us by virtue of being born. No legislation created them; no political party can erase them. They include freedom, responsibility, mutual respect, and the right to steward one’s life, land, and future. It’s only through ignorance, indoctrination, habit, unquestioned beliefs and apathy that we ignore this reality.
Like the air we breathe, Natural Law is constant. Whether we can see it or not. Sovereignty is. (That’s a complete sentence.)
Despite recent history, our current political circumstance, and a media heavily influenced by government support, these are not the ideas of radicals. They connect deeply with any critical thinker. And even for some who don’t question our political circumstance, the essence of sovereignty resonates in their heart.
So while governments may try to define, contain, or even ignore sovereignty, their authority is always conditional and finite. It lasts only as long as it reflects the will and wellbeing of the people.
Which means we must stop confusing government activity with true authority. Power changes hands, but our inherent sovereignty remains constant. It’s a long game played over centuries, not election cycles.
If we want a future rooted in freedom, resilience, and integrity, then we must anchor ourselves in Natural Law and long-term sovereignty, not short-term governance. It’s a big task and a moral responsibility. To ourselves, families and communities.
Sovereignty is not a government’s job. It’s ours. Governments, by nature, gather power and protect it with implied force. This isn’t right or wrong, it’s just how the system’s set-up. But it’s a flawed design in opposition to Natural Law, and because of that governments are temporary. Sovereignty isn’t.
The time has come for Albertans to acknowledge the difference and reclaim our birth right.
It’s only natural.
The Alberta Prosperity Project is a non-profit group that helps Albertans learn about and support Alberta’s independence. We believe Albertans should have more control over their own decisions, instead of being held back by unfair federal rules and laws. Our main goal is to achieve greater freedom, stronger rights, and a better future for all Albertans by becoming a self-governing province or an independent nation.
We stand for personal freedom, respect for the rule of law, lower taxes, and a stronger local economy. We believe Albertans should decide how to use their own natural resources, manage their healthcare and education, and protect their rights and freedoms without federal interference.
We educate people about the possibilities, process towards secession and more through public events, information campaigns, and partnerships with community groups. The APP does not support violence or illegal activity of any kind.
Our mission is to help Albertans understand what sovereignty and independence could look like and why it could lead to a more fair and prosperous province for future generations.
