The demolition of Edmonton's Coliseum, which has been closed since 2017, will not begin for at least two more years due to the extensive planning and hazardous material removal required. The City has allocated $35 million for demolition, in addition to the $9 million spent on maintaining the building. The Coliseum, once home to the Edmonton Oilers, will be replaced by a mixed-use urban village as part of long-term plans for the area. The new development is expected to take 25-30 years to complete.
The myth that an Independent Alberta will be economically unviable because it’s landlocked is false.
1. We are policy-locked by Ottawa, not geography
2. Direct leverage: if BC blocks our pipes, we can block their exports
3. The U.S. is ready to partner on direct routes to the coast
4. We gain the protected international right to reach the sea
5. We sign our own trade deals & bypass federal tariffs
6. US ready to entertain an Alberta-only Free Trade Deal
The reality is that the best way to stay “landlocked” is to remain in a Canada governed by ideological extremists driven to keep our $14 trillion in resources trapped in the ground.
Independence is the only way to eliminate that red tape and finally get Alberta moving.
