Dr. Matthew Rowley, a fifth-generation Albertan, pastor, and historical theologian with a PhD in political theology, is the founder and president of Renew Alberta. Through the organization, Rowley advocates for Alberta independence as a means to preserve and restore the province’s traditional values—rooted in pre-Trudeau Canada’s principles of Peace, Order, and Good Government, Westminster parliamentary traditions, respect for the Crown, personal responsibility, and community self-reliance. Rather than framing sovereignty as anger or rupture, Renew Alberta presents a measured, historically informed case that positions independence as a way for Alberta to continue Canada’s original heritage in a setting free from federal overreach. Rowley, who also leads Milvian Strategies and TLI Canada, emphasizes disciplined organizing and credible arguments aimed at broader Albertan support.Watch the Cornerstone Forum 26’https://shaunnewmanpodcast.substack.com/Silver Gold Bull Links:Website: https://silvergoldbull.ca/Email: [email protected] Grahame: (587) 441-9100Bow Valley Credit UnionBitcoin: www.bowvalleycu.com/en/personal/investing-wealth/bitcoin-gatewayEmail: [email protected] Get your voice heard: Text Shaun 587-217-8500

David Parker, founder of Take Back Alberta (TBA)—a influential grassroots conservative/populist movement that helped reshape the United Conservative Party—has launched The Centurion Project as his latest initiative to advance Alberta independence. This decentralized organizing "machine" recruits and trains ~100 regional leaders, each building networks of organizers to canvass and survey Albertans door-to-door and in-person using a 10-X exponential growth model. The core goal is to conduct the largest citizen-led poll in Canadian history by directly asking every Albertan three questions—support for separation from Canada, signing the petition, and voting YES in a referendum—while identifying and mobilizing over a million "yes" supporters ahead of a potential sovereignty vote.
