Telling people that they will "own nothing, rent everything, and be happy" is repulsive. Who will they be renting from? How can you be free without autonomy? Reject the Great Reset. Why are so many Canadian politicians enamoured with weird anti-people World Economic Forum ideas?
Taking away someone's digital access to money is extremely serious. Digital jail can be almost as bad as real jail - you can't be starved in real jail. If you can't access your money it is harder to feed yourself.
I explain this in detail here:
You may dislike everything about the convoy but you should still be worried about this. Canada does not hold non-violent people in jail indefinitely before trials for non-violent crimes.

Did you know? Alberta represents just 12 per cent of the population, but we’re responsible for almost a quarter of all jobs created in Canada in 2022.
People know Alberta is the place to grow a career and raise a family. Our doors are open.
Minister Steven Guilbeault and his eco-radical friends spend a lot of time telling Canadians that Alberta's world-class energy industry is heavily subsidized - turns out that's not true: "Canada has the lowest energy subsidies in the G20" IMF
While Albertans were losing businesses, while our health system was collapsing under mismanagement, the people on the Sky Palace balcony signed off on an all-time record bonus.
We won’t tolerate the federal government using Alberta as a tool to commit economic suicide through an emissions cap. Enough is enough. Please contact MPs

The Premier of Quebec said that "there is no social acceptability for oil in Quebec.” Yet he has no problem taking the transfer payments funded by Alberta oil. Quebec gets around 60% of all equalization. It's time to start boycotting Quebec products here in Alberta.

In 2022, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz visited Canada seeking energy. He was turned away by our PM who questioned the “business case” for supplying LNG to Europe. Here’s what Canada missed. Germany has also entered into significant LNG deals with Qatar.

Albertans aren't about to forget that the NDP government was no friend of Alberta's job creators. The NDP allied themselves with the Federal Liberals, creating turmoil, at the expense of hard-working Albertans, and they'll do it again if they get the chance.

Alberta is launching a national advertising campaign to inform Canadians about the negative effects of the federal government’s proposed electricity regulations, which will dramatically increase power bills, drive investment out of the province and put grid reliability at risk.…
I’ve received A LOT of angry emails & messages from Quebecers-even a few death threats. BUT I WON’T BACK DOWN. I will unapologetically defend our industry, our people & our way of life in Alberta. I encourage you to try one of the many locally brewed Alberta craft beers.
Rachel Notley won't fight for Alberta.
Albertans can't afford the return of the NDP.
We can't afford them economically.
We can't afford them on public safety.
We can't afford them in dealing with Ottawa.

The insensitivity here is truly breathtaking. Many Canadians are struggling to afford mortgage payments and food. Millions are living paycheque to paycheque – but this minister would say they can save a little bit of money if they just buy a $50,000 minimum electric vehicle?…

Suzuki has spent the past decade being a partisan and a hypocrite. He compares our industry to slavery while going on cross-country bus tours. He uses his platform to spread the worst lies about our oil & gas sector. What a stupid, out of touch decision.

In response to the Federal government’s failure to apply equality under the law for the carbon tax to other areas of Canada, our UCP caucus has brought forward a motion in the Legislature to end the carbon tax and acknowledge its harm to Albertans.
Albertans will remember that…
The $35,000 number might actually be low.
If you want to have two electric vehicles charging in your garage overnight you need upgraded 200 amp minimum electrical service – that’s a $50K plus upgrade on most existing homes. That’s over and above the building code issues…
BREAKING: Ottawa’s new strict energy regulations will add $35,000 onto the cost of a new home in Alberta.
To force such high costs on families, during times of economic stress is irresponsible. Alberta’s government will not stand for this and will have more to say.

"Like the Trudeau Liberals, the Alberta NDP have this fanciful belief that they can tax the rich to pay for their grandiose schemes, while never making the middle class pay more.

Under no circumstances should an energy superpower like Canada be forced into energy poverty to appease activists. Other countries, like the UK, have learned this hard lesson. When it comes to Ottawa’s proposed electricity regulations, we are standing up for Albertans,

It is time that Ottawa supports Alberta in our efforts to reduce emissions while keeping energy accessible and affordable for Canadians.
The atmosphere tonight in Calgary was electric. So many people turned out to confirm that the UCP is still the only choice in Calgary.
