To the Americans:

I've travelled all over the world. I've familiarized myself with many places, and met many people. And I'm a Canadian, although I’m privileged to reside once again in the States.

And here's something I've noticed, and it’s a key element of America's continuing greatness:

You bloody Americans value success, and you believe in its existence.

This is something that doesn't really happen anywhere else in the world. Even in other free democracies—the United Kingdom; Finland, Sweden, and Norway; Australia, New Zealand and Canada; Germany, France, and the Netherlands (great countries all)—a counterproductive cynicism too often reigns.

Success is equated with exploitation.
Ambition is looked upon with contempt.

This happens sometimes in the United States too—particularly among the miserable progressives, who confuse their resentment, ingratitude and unearned skepticism with wisdom.

But in your great country, by and large, striving is admired and success celebrated.

This means that more people strive and succeed in the US than anywhere else. And it's increasingly obvious. You remain stunningly more innovative and productive than any people anywhere else on the planet.

And so I say, as all should who are fortunate enough to live in the western world, let alone America:

Thank God for the United States.

Thank God for the wisdom of its founders.
Thank God for its faith in the free market and in the natural rights of man.
Happy birthday, you damn Yankees and Southerners.

Long may your admirable country dominate the world.

Long may your freedom and hope provide an example to those suffering everywhere at the hands of their malevolent states.

May your two and a half centuries of unparallelled success be just the beginning.

Your country is the light of the world, and the city on the hill.

Thank God for the USA.

Happy 250th.

Canada Day feels different for me this year.

I grew up believing Canada was a country of opportunity, fairness, freedom, and shared prosperity.

But for many Albertans, that Canada feels increasingly distant.

Alberta’s future no longer fits inside the country Canada has become.

[Anti-Boomer @mapleblooded]

I grew up in the Canada of the 80s, 90s, and 00s.

It was an amazing place to live and work.

The Canada of right now is unsafe, unaffordable, and unrecognizable.

And it’s patriotic to point that out. 🇨🇦

Premier Eby says British Columbia “is not at the table” on Alberta’s proposal with Ottawa.

That is exactly the problem, Premier. You are not at the table because you refuse to show up. While Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba work together to build pipelines, create jobs, and strengthen our shared economy, your government keeps its head in the sand and puts ideology ahead of British Columbians.

Provinces like Manitoba have shown what is possible. They have taken the 7% sales tax off food and cut gas taxes to make life more affordable for families. Albertans are not our adversaries. They are our natural partners. A strong Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba help build a stronger British Columbia.

Together, we can deliver high-paying union jobs in the north, new revenue for our schools and hospitals, and real energy security for all of Canada.

British Columbians are tired of watching opportunity after opportunity slip away because NDP ideology always comes first. Instead of complaining about not being invited, a real premier would get off the sidelines, stop blocking nation-building projects, and start working constructively with our Western neighbours.

I am ready to be that premier. We will be at the table fighting for British Columbia every single day. We will win the next election and deliver the results our families and communities deserve.

Together, we will build a more prosperous, united, and free British Columbia. Join me.

@rparmar_BC Stop trying to manufacture a controversy out of a group's unsubstantiated comments. Secession is not one of the BC Conservative policies. Focus on fixing the train wreck this province has become under NDP mismanagement!

[Andrew Lawton @AndrewLawton]

Canadians have sent 240,000 postcards to senators urging them to oppose Liberal Bill C-9.

Until this morning, the Senate was hiding these postcards in a warehouse in Gatineau. This morning, they were moved to a Senate room, but they still aren't being delivered to senators.

@prieurdp Longer vehicles like pickup trucks literally can't drive in. The drive isles are not wide enough for that - it ends up being a 6 point turn. A well executed back in takes substantially less time

[Keean Bexte @TheRealKeean]

1. We'd still have that
2. We'd prefer a petrodollar
3. We'd still have that (if you want to keep your railroad)
4. We can extract these and run them better
5. We'd have a Swiss style military, you can keep your African warlords
6. We can figure out how to print passports without childhood photos of Trudeau on them.
7. We'd be in the black on day one.
8. We can get better trade deals without your rancid dairy industry.
9. The courts that is 6/9ths Trudeau appointees, that protects pedos? Keep it.
10. Lmao

@JamesRichy1234 @AnthonyRussoBC The NDP voter was never going to vote for any conservative. The rhetoric of Elliott is substantially the same messaging as KLF (and everyone else in this race). What makes you think conservative principles are unelectable?

[Anthony Russo @AnthonyRussoBC]

This race wasn't about rejecting fellow conservatives. It was about rejecting the idea that BC politics should be controlled by lobbyists, consultants, insiders, and out of province political operators. The grassroots reminded everyone who actually owns this party, and that message was heard loud and clear.

To every candidate who stepped forward, thank you. We need all of you in the fight ahead. There is room for everyone willing to help defeat the NDP and build a stronger Conservative movement in British Columbia.

But to those who came here with a bigger agenda, to use BC as a launchpad for federal Conservative infighting or as part of an effort to undermine Pierre Poilievre, the answer from the membership was clear: NOT HERE.

BC politics belongs to BC. The era of taking grassroots members for granted is over. The people have found their voice, and they're not giving it back. #Bcpoli

[Alberta Secession - Why? @cnm5000]

@FrontlinesTPUSA To understand Alberta today, you have to understand a bit of our history. Ya'll like videos - here is a short one:

The West Wants Out: Alberta Edges Closer to Independence from Canada

Canada’s most conservative province, Alberta, has grown increasingly frustrated with the federal government in Ottawa for decades. Now, the movement for greater autonomy—or even full independence—is gaining serious momentum.

In this Frontlines TPUSA exclusive, reporters @TaylerUSA and @kiansimone44 head west to speak with the leaders of Alberta’s independence movement. They explore what a more independent Alberta could mean for America’s energy and national security.

RT if you changed your vote because of this decision.

Saw the US version on here. Decided to make a Canadian version. What did I miss?
