A Former Ontario MPP on Why Alberta’s Sovereignty Movement Matters to All Canadians
In this episode of The Lavigne Show, host Jason Lavigne meets with former Ontario MPP Randy Hillier near Ottawa to discuss the growing Alberta self-determination movement and why it resonates far beyond provincial borders.
Hillier, known for his long-standing advocacy for liberty and constitutional rights, brings a national lens to the issue. He argues that Alberta’s pursuit of sovereignty reflects a broader awakening across Canada, one rooted in frustration with centralization, erosion of democratic institutions, and federal overreach. Drawing on his experience within Ontario politics, Hillier warns that Alberta’s grievances are not isolated, and the rest of Canada would do well to pay attention.
This episode covers topics including regional disparity, national disunity, political accountability, and the mechanisms, both legal and cultural, through which Canadians can begin to reclaim local governance and personal freedoms. Hillier does not campaign for Alberta’s separation but strongly affirms its right to self-determination and the legitimacy of a referendum.
This episode is part of a nationwide series examining Alberta’s future through thoughtful, open discussions with voices from across Canada. Whether you're for or against separation, this conversation offers a broader perspective on what Alberta’s struggle means for all Canadians.

Hi all,
So sorry to say, but just for today, we have a sick Jay.
The cold started Wednesday, and on the drive yesterday, it got worse.
As a result, no Tea & Coffee this morning.
I'll recover and we'll see you Monday.
God bless.

Whistle Stop Cafe's Chris Scott and Alberta lawyer Jeffrey Rath, whose fiery new piece “ALBERTA WANTS OUT! An Open Letter to Danielle Smith” is sparking province-wide debate, were on stage for an uncensored, audience-driven discussion about whether Alberta should chart its course.

“Team Alberta,” Not “Team Canada”: He slams Ottawa’s 25 % retaliatory tariffs and Smith’s support for making everything from trucks to tomatoes pricier in Alberta.
