A great look at real democracy based questions and answers![/td]
A great look at real democracy based questions and answers!
[td]
Over the past few weeks, I've been sharing more openly about Alberta's future, and it's sparked some incredibly thoughtful conversations.
Some people are excited.
Some are skeptical.
Some are curious.
Some are afraid.
Honestly, I understand every one of those responses.
Conversations about change have a way of revealing what matters most to us. They invite us to examine not only what we believe, but why we believe it.
As I've listened to people's perspectives—both those who agree with me and those who don't—I've noticed something interesting.
Beneath the conversations about politics, constitutions, governments, and referendums lies a much deeper question.
Where does our power actually come from?
Is it something that's given to us?
Something that's taken away?
Or is it something we've had within us all along?
The more I've reflected on that question, the more I've realized that this month's conversation isn't really about Alberta Independence.
It's about empowerment.
It's about sovereignty—not simply as a political idea, but as a way of living.
It's about recognizing that regardless of what happens politically, we still have the ability to shape our lives, strengthen our families, support our communities, and contribute to a future worth living in.
Perhaps we've been asking the wrong question.
Instead of asking,
"What is the government going to do?"
What if we asked,
"What am I capable of creating?"
That single question changes everything.
It shifts us from fear to possibility.
From waiting to participating.
From reacting to building.
That's the conversation I want to have.
On the July 16th Community, Connection & Collaboration call, I'll be joined by two men who approach Alberta's future from different perspectives.
Both arrive at a remarkably empowering conclusion.
We have far more influence over our lives than we've been taught to believe.
Jon Sedore is a passionate advocate for Alberta sovereignty and constitutional literacy. He has spent much time studying the foundations of self-governance, constitutional rights, and what it means for Albertans to understand the freedoms and responsibilities that accompany true sovereignty. Jon brings a thoughtful perspective on Alberta Independence and invites us to consider what government could look like when it is rooted in the people it serves.
Rick Kohut is a farmer, educator, and passionate advocate for self-governance. Drawing inspiration from natural law, German New Medicine, and decades of living close to the land, Rick believes meaningful change begins with the individual—not government. His work encourages people to reclaim responsibility for their own health, families, communities, and livelihoods while exploring practical models like Private Membership Associations that empower local decision-making.
At first glance, these may seem like very different conversations.
But I don't think they are.
Both invite us to ask the same question:
How do we become the kind of people capable of creating thriving communities?
Because whether Alberta remains within Canada, becomes independent, or follows some path none of us can yet imagine...
We'll still need strong families.
We'll still need healthy communities.
We'll still need neighbours who know and support one another.
We'll still need local businesses, resilient food systems, and people willing to care for the land beneath their feet.
We'll still need courage.
Responsibility.
Faith.
Resilience.
Stewardship.
Community.
Love.
Those qualities matter regardless of what happens politically.
In this conversation, we'll explore:
What sovereignty really means—both personally and politically
Why Alberta Independence matters to many Albertans and the constitutional principles behind the movement
How self-governance begins with the individual before extending into families and communities
The relationship between stewardship, freedom, responsibility, and thriving communities
Practical ways we can become more resilient regardless of what happens politically
Why curiosity may be more important than certainty
