Alberta’s Crossroads: Independent Journalist Sounds the Alarm on Canada’s Future
In this hard-hitting episode of The Lavigne Show, host Jason Lavigne sits down with independent journalist David Krayden in Ottawa to unpack the surging Alberta self-determination movement. Recorded in the heart of Canada’s capital, where the 2022 Freedom Convoy shook the nation, this conversation dives into the critical question: Is Alberta’s push for independence the beginning of the end for Canada as we know it?
David Krayden, host of Krayden’s Right and a fierce advocate for free speech, pulls no punches as he dissects:
- Mark Carney’s Liberal minority victory and his troubling globalist ties, from the WEF to the Freedom Convoy bank account freezes.
- The Conservative Party’s failure to distinguish itself from the Liberals leaves Canadians with a uniparty illusion.
- Alberta’s economic exploitation through equalization payments and federal neglect of its energy sector.
- The growing momentum for a 2026 referendum, with voices like Premier Danielle Smith, Jeffrey Rath, and the Alberta Prosperity Project leading the charge.
- The stark warning from Preston Manning: This could be Canada’s last federal election.
Krayden, a former Air Force officer and proud Canadian, speaks with both passion and sorrow about a nation he believes is unravelling. He argues Alberta’s fight is not just for its freedom but for the soul of Canada, a country he fears may not survive without Alberta’s economic backbone. Will Alberta stay, go independent, or become the 51st U.S. state? This episode is a wake-up call for all Canadians.

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 ...

Enjoy the Conversation on Alberta Independence with Jeffrey Rath & Chris Scott — From the Live event in Drayton Valley!
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.
What’s in the Letter & Why It Matters
Leadership at a Crossroads: Rath says Premier Smith must remove Kenney-era ministers implicated in pandemic misfeasance or risk losing Albertans’ trust.
COVID Accountability Gap: There has been no public inquiry, no retroactive help for shuttered businesses, and no action on vaccine injury concerns.
“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.
20 Reasons to Go It Alone: From axing federal taxes and ...
Throughout Canada’s modern era, one guiding truth has held constant for many citizens of faith: that our fundamental rights and freedoms originate from a higher authority—God—rather than mere privileges granted by government or courts. When the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms was introduced in 1982, the drafters inserted a crucial statement at the very outset:
“Whereas Canada is founded upon principles that recognize the supremacy of God and the rule of law: …”
According to former Newfoundland Premier Brian Peckford, the last living signatory to the Charter, this statement, followed by a colon, was deliberately designed to be read before each section of the Charter. It was not a ceremonial “preamble” but a constant framing principle, meant to remind legislators, judges, and citizens alike that the Charter’s rights have a transcendent source. The supremacy of God was intended to inform and contextualize all subsequent articles, rather than be relegated to symbolic status or ignored altogether.
Over time, ...
