APP Webinar - Can Alberta afford to stay in Canada much longer? with MartyUpNorth

Join us for a discussion with outdoorsman and Alberta independence advocate, MartyUpNorth (https://twitter.com/Martyupnorth_2). Is Canada a failed experiment? Join the chat and drop your questions in the comments.

MartyUpNorth was born and raised in Ontario and studied engineering at the University of Ottawa so he could connect with his franco-Ontarian roots. He graduated at the height of a recession in 1990, so he moved halfway across the country to northern Alberta to start an unplanned career in the oil patch. He is married and has 4 adult children, 3 of whom are following in his footsteps as engineers. He's semi-retired now and enjoys pursuing his life-long passion of backpacking in the Rockies. He currently lives in the country, NW of Calgary.

Marty has lived in 5 provinces and worked in all 10 throughout his 33-year career. His informed opinion is that Canada is a failed experiment as a Confederation, and the only way forward is for independent provinces. He considers himself Albertan and wants an independent Alberta.

Marty is a conservative-minded individual who believes in self-reliance, small government, charity, family, property ownership, and more. He is a professional engineer and is driven by a practical mindset instead of an ideological one.

Marty has a large online supporter base and has been credited for the creation of the #trudeaumustgo campaign that took over Twitter earlier this year.
