  • Edmonton’s controversial bike lane expansion hits some democratic speed bumps

    Edmonton’s controversial bike lane expansion hits some democratic speed bumps
    May 24 2025
    Residents from several Edmonton neighbourhoods are formally requesting the Alberta government intervene to halt a bike lane expansion, calling it undemocratic, unsafe, and fiscally irresponsible. Meanwhile, a new anti-separatist group has filed a referendum application to ask Albertans if they want to remain in Canada, as citizen-initiated referendum activity continues to grow across the province. Alberta’s government is also fast-tracking 11 school projects to keep pace with immigration-fuelled growth, and has launched the New North America Initiative — the only dedicated Canada-U.S. policy hub on the continent.

    Smith slams Carney’s cabinet, warns of renewed anti-oil agenda
    May 17 2025
    Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is warning that Prime Minister Mark Carney’s newly unveiled cabinet signals a continuation of Ottawa’s anti-resource agenda.

  • First Nations can’t veto Alberta separation vote

    First Nations can’t veto Alberta separation vote
    May 12 2025
    Legal experts say First Nations leaders cannot legally block a citizen-led Alberta separation vote — even if treaties are involved. Premier Danielle Smith responded to the backlash this week, reaffirming that no referendum can infringe on constitutional or treaty rights — but also emphasizing that if 177,000 Albertans sign a petition, the province must respect the result. Smith also told Ontario Premier Doug Ford to butt out of Alberta’s business after he criticized Western separatism, saying she doesn’t tell him how to run his province and expects the same respect in return. An exclusive True North investigation also profiles the key players leading Alberta’s growing sovereignty movement, from the Alberta Prosperity Project to Take Back Alberta and several newly energized political parties.
