«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.»
