Finally making my first post (I don't think I ever even made one on Reddit) and it's a parliamentary petition link.

I've thought for a long while that people who appear to be working on behalf of foreign interests against the best interests of Canadians should be investigated and tried in court. If you agree Alberta separatists like the so-called "Alberta Prosperity Project," are really just working for Trump/MAGA, please sign and spread the word!

Whereas:

  • The Alberta Prosperity Project, driving the current independence petition, has held three documented meetings with senior Trump administration officials and solicited a $500 billion US credit facility to fund a potential independent Alberta;
  • The Trump administration’s documented pattern of resource-driven coercion — in Venezuela, Greenland, and Panama — is now credibly directed at Alberta, which holds the world’s third-largest proven oil reserves;
  • Co-founder Dennis Modry, participant in the Washington meetings, was found by a BC Supreme Court judge to have misappropriated $1.3 million from elderly relatives;
  • Canada’s Foreign Influence Transparency Commissioner has confirmed foreign interference in Canadian political processes is already occurring and that the Washington meetings may fall within his mandate; and
  • The Alberta government legislated around a court ruling declaring the original petition unconstitutional — conduct the presiding judge described as “disrespectful to the administration of justice.”

We, the undersigned, People of Canada, call upon the House of Commons in Parliament assembled to invoke its authority under Section 53 of the Supreme Court Act to refer the constitutionality of Alberta’s Justice Statutes Amendment Act, 2025 to the Supreme Court of Canada, and to direct the Foreign Influence Transparency Commissioner to immediately investigate the meetings between the Alberta Prosperity Project and the Trump administration.

Ooh that would be nice.

Carney's been ignoring the nonsense in Alberta, probably because there's existential threats from outside, but eventually shit will hit the fan one way or another.

I'd hope he takes the threats that are already inside (not just the effort to secede but also to destroy Medicare for all of us with Bill 11) more seriously, then, since UCP people are ignoring both their constituents and the Charter of Rights and Freedoms to do whatever they want. They're also trying to gerrymander Alberta right now, but there are thankfully people fighting back. At the rate they're going, a major intervention could be needed to demonstrate the consequences if sedition/treason can be proven in court.
