Is Canada A Prison?

Premier Smith said out loud what many of us have been thinking for years – “Is Canada a prison that you can’t get out of?” This in response to the decision of Liberal-appointed Alberta Court of King’s Bench Justice S. Leonard to quash the referendum question asking Albertans whether the province should become independent.

I suggest Justice Leonard has done us a favour. He has exposed the absolute disregard of Canada’s justice system to protect the fundamentals of a free and democratic society. His ruling allows the voices of three individuals to silence more than 300,000 Albertans. If anyone still maintains the illusion that Canada is a democracy of free individuals, Leonard has put an end to that illusion.

Many see the efforts of the Alberta independence movement as about separation from Canada. I see it differently. I perceive the efforts to declare Alberta’s sovereignty as saving Canada rather than separation from Canada. The Canada of today is not the Canada of previous generations.

Bruce Pardy has articulated this difference on a number of occasions. Pardy explains that there are two Canadas. One that lives in your heart and is the Canada we think we live in. The other Canada is the real Canada, one that is increasingly being exposed as a corporate structure that is no longer representative or accountable to the people of Canada.

Albertans, in my view, are raising important questions. They are questioning the fundamentals of governance, the mandate of governments and their limitations. They are also questioning the merits of staying in Canada as currently structured where the balance of power rests with a small elite, or certainly those who perceive themselves to be elites. They are also questioning the risks of staying in Canada with its current trajectory.

The reality is that this country no longer represents the will of the people. There was no demand by Canadians for rainbow crosswalks, imposed pronouns, drag queen story hour, forced vaccinations, censorship, uncontrolled immigration, gun confiscation, digital ID, social credit scores, and more. Our governments are operating on an agenda that is no longer what the people want, but rather what an unelected group of bureaucrats and technocrats want.

Inviting a discussion about Alberta independence, authority, sovereignty, and the kind of society we want for our children and grandchildren is responsible citizenship. It should be encouraged, not discouraged. It should be embraced, not censored. I suggest the ruling by Justice Leonard will do more to fuel discussion rather than put a stop to the question of Alberta independence.

Canada needs saving. I describe what is happening in Canada as a controlled demolition. More of the same is not an option. Given our current governance structure it is unlikely that constructive change can happen from within the system. An outside force strong enough to disrupt the status quo is needed. Alberta is the only province in Canada with the resources and passion to withstand the efforts that will be applied to prevent such revisions. More of the same will only contribute to Canada’s downfall.

An intervention is needed if Canada is to survive as a free Nation. I believe Alberta is that intervention.

Order Your Bill C-9 Postcards

The 4 My Canada network -- that's YOU -- is crushing it again!! When 4MyCanada launched their C-9 postcard campaign late last week, they warned their printer that they would probably need about 5,000 postcards printed.

Imagine the surprise when the printer contacted 4MyCanada to report that he was printing and sending more than 103,000 postcards to our Senators.

Senators are currently considering which witnesses they will hear, and the Senate is expected to meet again to discuss Bill C-9 on May 20th and 21st. This is the precise window in which our voices need to be heard by Senators. 

If you have not yet ordered your postcards, you still have time.

NCI | Giving TRUTH a Voice

June 11-13 | Ontario Hearing

The National Citizens Inquiry (NCI) will convene hearings in Ontario from June 11–13. Those working within agriculture understand that much of what shapes their work is not always visible. It is encountered in practice, often without an opportunity to be formally recorded. Testimony provides that opportunity.

If you have direct, firsthand experience within farming, livestock production, agricultural systems, regulatory environments, or related areas you are invited to submit an application to testify.

All testimony must be based on direct experience. Submissions based on secondhand information or interpretation will not be considered.

SOUND, LIGHT & FREQUENCY HEALING

June 10 | ONLINE Course

We have all heard about the health benefits of light and frequency, but did you know sound, which is also a frequency bandwidth, can be exceptionally healing too, and that goes right back to why church bells in medieval Europe would be rung on the hour throughout the day. They weren’t just telling the time, they were warding off illness and disease. Now sound healing is making a come-back, especially in the field of homeopathy where prescriptions are becoming emailed sound-bites!

Hosted by CHA Director Alan Brough this 3-part CHA training course will give participants an in-depth understanding of Sound, Light and Frequency healing, how it started, how it has developed and how you can use it at home for your own health and wellbeing.

Regulatory Processes and Their Impact on Farmers

John Graff - NCI Testimony

NCI REPLAY | MARCH 2026 HEARING | Are Farmers Safe in Canada? - John Graff, a Saskatchewan farmer and livestock nutrition consultant, provides testimony on agricultural systems, traceability regulations, and animal health policy in Canada. Drawing on decades of experience, he outlines structural concerns related to regulatory processes and their impact on farmers and food production.

Shrinking Agricultural Land Access

Jordan Kealy, BC Independent MLA  - NCI Testimony

NCI REPLAY | MARCH 2026 HEARING | Are Farmers Safe in Canada? - Jordan Kealy testifies as a BC independent MLA and cattle producer about the political and regulatory environment affecting farmers in British Columbia and Canada. His evidence addresses livestock production, rising operating costs, shrinking agricultural land access, traceability and CFIA enforcement concerns, drought and fire impacts, supply management, and the broader role of government and bureaucracy in shaping farm viability. 

Jordan also discusses the Universal Ostrich Farm case, party discipline in politics, DRIPA, Crown land and pasture uncertainty, and the difficulty farmers face in speaking publicly without fear of reprisal.

Are Farmers Safe in Canada?

Lee Turner, Lawyer - NCI Testimony

NCI REPLAY | MARCH 2026 HEARING | Are Farmers Safe in Canada? - Lee Turner, a civil litigation lawyer, testifies about his role as co-counsel in the Federal Court judicial review concerning the CFIA’s culling order at Universal Ostrich Farm. He describes the testing process, the hybrid strain findings, expert evidence presented to the court, and the difficulty of challenging CFIA decisions under the Health of Animals Act. His testimony emphasizes judicial deference to administrative policy, the refusal to permit further testing despite emerging evidence, and his view that legislative reform is needed to impose evidentiary guardrails and greater accountability in disease-response decisions affecting farmers.
