Transparency & Disclosures
We'd rather over-disclose than leave anyone guessing about what this site is and isn't.
What This Site Is
This site is published and funded by the Alberta Freedom Foundation. Every essay on it is an opinion piece, written from the author's own point of view, making an argument for a specific position. None of it is presented as neutral, dispassionate analysis — it is advocacy, and we say so on every essay page.
Funding
The Alberta Freedom Foundation funded the research, writing, and development of every essay published on this site. Each essay carries a disclosure notice near the top of the page stating this plainly.
Authorship & Point Of View
Essays on this site are written in the first person and reflect the views of their individual authors. They are not committee documents, and they are not intended to read as a press release. Where an essay makes a factual claim — a statistic, a dollar figure, a quoted policy — we've tried to cite a source for it. Where it makes an argument or a value judgment, we say so directly rather than dressing it up as fact.
Sourcing & Corrections
Most essays on this site include a sources list at the end, citing the reports, news coverage, or government data referenced in the piece. We try to favour original sources — government data, court rulings, and primary reporting — over secondhand summaries.
If you believe something on this site is factually inaccurate, please use the contact page to let us know what's wrong and where you found better information. We'll review it and correct genuine errors.
What We Are Not
- We are not a registered political party, and this site does not solicit votes for any candidate or party.
- We are not a polling or research firm; figures we cite come from the sources listed on each essay, not from our own data collection.
- We do not claim to represent the Government of Alberta, any First Nation, or any other organization not named on this site.
Contested Public Debate
Alberta sovereignty, equalization, federal energy policy, COVID-era emergency powers, federal speech legislation, immigration levels, and climate policy are all genuinely contested topics in Canadian public life. Reasonable people disagree about all of them. This site argues one side. We'd encourage anyone reading it to seek out the counter-arguments as well, and we don't claim to have the last word on any of these questions.
