Referendums, Equalization, and How an Independent Alberta Could Defend Itself
Former Canadian Forces engineer and Freedom Convoy organizer Tom Marazzo sits down with Jason Lavigne to examine the case for Alberta self-determination. What a binding referendum should look like, why the current Westminster model leaves Albertans under-represented, and how equalization, Quebec’s Hydro exemption, and federal party dynamics have shaped Alberta’s frustration. Marazzo also outlines a pragmatic defence posture for landlocked Alberta, built around existing bases in Cold Lake, Edmonton, and Wainwright, along with strategic US partnerships, arguing that Alberta should “act—carefully, but decisively.”
We cover:
- The democratic mechanism: why a clear, citizen-driven referendum must lead the process
- Representation & reform: majority governments, party discipline, and why recall matters
- Money & leverage: equalization, Quebec Hydro’s carve-out, and the Bloc’s federal role
- Ontario vs. Alberta cultures: identity, immigration pressures, and political inertia
- Security reality check: credible defence without a navy, air/land capabilities, and alliances

Good morning supporters,
It was a late night for the Lavignes so we will see you Friday.
Here's the video from last night's event in Edmonton. Yes, it's true, the Edmonton police showed up but didn't stop the event.
Thanks Max from Freedom Calender for streaming.
