     Re: Freedom Petroleum Inc. Registration Statement on Form S-1

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I have acted as special counsel to Freedom Petroleum Inc., a Nevada corporation
("Company") for the limited purpose of rendering this opinion in connection with
the proposed issuance and sale of up to 35,000,000 shares of the Company's
common stock, par value $0.0001 per share ("Shares") pursuant to the Company's
Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended, and the prospectus included
therein (collectively the "Registration Statement") filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission ("SEC") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Act").

In connection with this opinion, I have examined and relied upon the
Registration Statement, the Company's Articles of Incorporation, its Bylaws, and
the originals or copies certified to my satisfaction of such records, documents,
certificates, memoranda and other instruments as in my judgment are necessary or
appropriate to enable me to render the opinion expressed below. I have assumed
the genuineness and authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals,
the conformity to originals of all documents submitted to me as copies thereof
and the due execution and delivery of all documents where due execution and
delivery are a prerequisite to the effectiveness thereof.

On the basis of the foregoing, and in reliance thereon, I am of the opinion that
the Shares will be, when sold, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

This opinion letter is opining upon and is limited to the current federal laws
of the United States and the Nevada Revised Statutes, including the statutory
provisions, all applicable provisions of the Nevada constitution, and reported
judicial decisions interpreting those laws, as such laws presently exist and to
the facts as they presently exist. I express no opinion with respect to the
effect or applicability of the laws of any other jurisdiction. I assume no
obligation to revise or supplement this opinion letter should the laws of such
jurisdiction be changed after the date hereof by legislative action, judicial
decision or otherwise.

I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Commission as an exhibit
to the Registration Statement in accordance with the requirements of Item
601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Act and to the use of my name therein and
in the related prospectus under the caption "Legal Matters." In giving such
consent, I do not hereby admit that I am in the category of persons whose
consent is required under Section 7 of the Act or the rules and regulations of
the SEC.

                                               Very truly yours,


                                               /s/ Scott D. Olson Esq.
                                               ---------------------------------
