Over The Target With BertaProudDad

All of a sudden Canada wants pipelines. Danielle Smith and Doug Ford are now pushing the Northern Shield Energy Corridor, a proposed Alberta-to-Ontario pipeline running from Hardisty, Alberta to Sarnia, Ontario. And the timing is funny as hell. This comes right after Mark Carney and Danielle Smith announced another pipeline proposal to the west coast. So now we have pipelines east, pipelines west,...

I sat down with Keith Wilson and Tanya Clemens from Let Alberta Decide to talk Alberta independence, direct democracy, and whether this is the only real path forward for the province. I also share my thoughts after attending the UCP Stampede Breakfast. Support independent voices at BertaProudDad.com .

Canada Day feels different when you support Alberta independence — for a lot of us, it feels more like Alberta Day now. Justin Trudeau broke trust, Mark Carney is trying to sell unity, and Danielle Smith is putting Alberta’s future in front of Albertans — but I refuse to fall into the trap of hating good Canadians who stood beside us. Alberta independence should be about freedom, not turning on fa...

They fired him from football. Then Sylvan Lake elected him. Town of Sylvan Lake Councillor Teej Johannesson joins me for an unfiltered conversation about faith, family, freedom, and the fight that followed him into municipal politics. Teej shares his side of the story after being removed from his football coaching role for speaking out, why he decided to run for council, what happened after he won...

sat down with Alberta Premier Danielle Smith for a direct conversation about the issues Albertans are actually talking about. This wasn’t a mainstream media interview. We talked about the Alberta flag, the division we’re seeing in this province, First Nations collaboration, equalization, the referendum question, Mark Carney, Ottawa, pipelines, Alberta’s future, and why she keeps doing the job when...

Alberta keeps being told to wait, be patient, and trust Ottawa. But how many times does this province have to watch the same game play out before people finally wake up? In this episode, I break down why Alberta needs to stop pretending Ottawa is going to fix this country, why Canada is heading in the wrong direction, and why people are asking serious questions about political power, corporate inf...

Albertans are being told that asking questions about their own future might be “treason.” That should bother everyone. This episode is not about attacking First Nations people. Treaty rights matter. Consultation matters. History matters. But political leaders do not get a free pass when they use dangerous words to scare Albertans away from a democratic referendum conversation. Danielle Smith, the...

The Sundre Rodeo Parade was reportedly cancelled, and now some people are blaming me for talking about it. I didn’t cancel the parade. I reported what happened. This started after a float with Alberta flags was reportedly treated as too political. No slogans. No campaign message. Just Alberta flags. In this episode, I explain why people are upset, why Alberta flags should never be controversial in...

Something is shifting in Alberta and more people are openly talking about independence than ever before. Many Albertans feel ignored by Ottawa, punished by federal policies, and treated like second class citizens despite Alberta helping fuel the country for generations. In this episode we break down why the Alberta independence movement is growing, why frustrations are boiling over, and why more A...

Today, Alberta made history. 301,620 Albertans signed their names demanding a referendum on Alberta independence, smashing past the 178,000 signature threshold they said could not be reached. But this is not the finish line. This is where the real work begins. In this episode, we talk about what this moment means for Alberta, why the movement needs to stay focused, and why Albertans do not have to...

Mark Carney’s fiscal update is being sold like calm, competent leadership — but Canadians need to stop and look at what is really happening. Canada is not booming. Families are drowning in bills. Young people cannot afford homes. Groceries are out of control. Businesses are struggling. Investment is leaving. And government keeps acting like more spending and more debt is somehow the solution. In t...

Mark Carney just announced the Canada Strong Fund and the media will probably sell it like it’s some brilliant nation building idea. I’m not buying it. In this episode, I break down why this so called sovereign wealth fund looks a hell of a lot more like another Liberal debt program dressed up with better branding. Countries like Norway built real wealth by selling their natural resources, buildin...

In this episode, I sit down with Warren Hamm to talk about where BC is headed, why so many people feel like the province is slipping away, and what it will take to turn things around. This is a direct conversation about the future of British Columbia, the fight ahead, and how people can get involved before it is too late.

In this episode, I break down an important point that should not be controversial: First Nations deserve respect, their voices matter, and they should absolutely be heard in any conversation about Alberta’s future. At the same time, every Albertan deserves to have a voice as well. This is not about hate. It is not about division for the sake of division. It is about fairness, respect, and refusing...

Alberta’s new Bill 25 is drawing a clear line in the sand. Danielle Smith and her government are sending a message a lot of parents have been waiting to hear: teachers are there to teach, not push politics, activism, or ideology in the classroom. That is exactly why the backlash has been so loud. In this episode, I break down why Bill 25 matters, why so many Alberta parents support it, and why put...

A creator is now suggesting people like me should be jailed… for making content and running a clothing brand. Let that sink in. Not debated. Not challenged. Jailed. In this episode, I break down exactly what was said, why this kind of thinking is dangerous, and what it says about the direction of political discourse in Canada right now. This is not just about me. This is about free speech, express...

NDP Convention Chaos, Alberta Independence, and What Comes Next Join BertaProudMom and BertaProudDad for the Sunday Night Breakdown , where we talk about the biggest political stories shaping Canada and Alberta and hear directly from you in the live chat. This week, we break down the national NDP convention , why so many people feel it has turned into a complete mockery, and what it says about the...

Naheed Nenshi, leader of Alberta’s NDP and Leader of the Official Opposition, says biological boys should be allowed to compete in girls’ sports — and that it only matters at the professional level. But on March 26, 2026, the International Olympic Committee dropped a major ruling: starting in 2028, women’s Olympic events will be limited to biological females only, using a simple one-time SRY gene...

Mark Carney’s approach to Ottawa and Alberta is pouring fuel on Alberta’s independence debate. In this video, I break down why frustration is growing over federal overreach, energy policy, western alienation, and why more Albertans feel pushed to the edge. I also get into Danielle Smith’s fight with Ottawa, Naheed Nenshi’s struggles to connect, and why this conversation is no longer being brushed...

The anti-Alberta independence crowd is throwing full tantrums at the simple idea of a democratic referendum. Zero facts, all feelings, and total hypocrisy — democracy only matters when they win. Watch (or listen) as their immaturity gets exposed when Alberta demands a real voice. If you're tired of the double standards and want Alberta to control its own future, drop your thoughts below and sh...

Canada didn’t change overnight. Over the last 11 years, decisions made at the highest levels have shaped the country we live in today—impacting everything from the economy and energy sector to freedom of expression and the growing divide between Canadians. In this episode, I break down the pattern: the policies, the scandals, the direction… and the consequences. This isn’t about political sides. I...

Ottawa is back, Alberta is back, and this week the contrast could not be clearer. In this episode of The Monday Briefing , I break down what is coming this week from the federal government, what is happening in Alberta, and why Canadians should be paying attention before the headlines catch up. I get into Bill C-9, Bill C-8, Bill 18, Mark Carney, Danielle Smith, the Liberal record, and why I belie...

Alberta independence is one of the most debated topics in Canada right now and in this episode we sit down with Chris Scott from the Whistle Stop Cafe to answer the questions everyone is asking. Chris has been traveling across Alberta speaking directly to people who support independence and those who strongly oppose it. Instead of avoiding the hard questions, we tackle them head on. Can Alberta su...

Canada feels more divided than ever—and people are finally asking why. In this episode, I sit down with Jasmine Laine, one of Canada’s fastest-growing political voices, fresh off surpassing 200,000 subscribers on YouTube. We break down the increasingly polarized political space in Canada, the growing disconnect between everyday Canadians and Ottawa, and how years of Liberal government policies hav...
