Flying around the world and talking shit about the Americans while pretending we're going to replace them with China or Europe is pretty much the dumbest trade strategy I've ever seen from a developed economy.
Federal immigration officials just said the Liberals are planning a new taxpayer funded international advertising campaign to bring more foreign nationals to Canada to work.
They're doing this the middle of a youth jobs crisis and a recession.
Acknowledging the role federal government decisions have played in frustrating Albertans isn't a partisan jab. PM Carney himself said there's work to be done to repair the relationship. I think the PM should own & make that case in Alberta, just as Poilievre did today. #cdnpoli
Carney is the first PM to ever cobble together a majority through floor crossing. Power was gained with backroom deals, not the ballot box. Today I introduced Bill C-278 to require MPs earn voter consent before switching parties. If your reasons are valid, defend them to voters.
After years of working and paying taxes, the media is pushing for elderly benefits to be cut back. Meanwhile a refugee claimant receiving $224.00 per day in assistance is good to go.
You can’t hate the media enough in Canada.
One of the three horsemen of economic destruction to the #Canadian economy. He along with @JustinTrudeau and @cafreeland brought the country’s GDP to 0. It took them a decade but they did it. An extraordinary achievement!
Wanting Alberta to separate doesn't necessarily mean a person hates Canada.
I love my truck but I would still jump out if it were on fire, or about to fall off a cliff.
Albertans don't have the means to save Canada but they CAN save themselves.
Jamie Dimon, Mark Carney, and Tony Blair just started sounding exactly like Donald Trump.
That's not a coincidence. It's surrender.
When your enemies start using your language, you've already won the battle. Here's what they're scrambling to hide 👇
She was a psychologist in Toronto making $210K CAD.
After federal tax, provincial tax, CPP, and EI, she kept $118K.
Then they raised capital gains.
Then they froze her bank account for donating $50 to the wrong protest.
She left and moved her practice online.
Paraguay residency: 4 days.
Panama structure: 3 weeks.
Canadian tax obligation: $0.
Same clients.
Same practice.
Same income.
Now she keeps everything.
Canada told her she was "abandoning the system."
She said: "The system abandoned me first."
Carney is big mad.
But she's not coming back.
And neither is her tax revenue.
🇨🇦 Canada is in recession.
Here’s what Liberals spent your money on: 🤷🏽
📍🇺🇦 Ukraine 25.5 Billion 💰
📍 CBC — $1.4B/year 📺
📍 FIFA World Cup — $1.066B - $82M per game ⚽
📍 Whale protection — $258M 🐋
📍 Northvolt — $7B bankrupt 💀
📍 Spaceport — $50K/day for a concrete slab 🚀
📍 VW subsidy — $13B
📍 Stellantis — $500M then they left anyway ✈️
📍 Carbon capture — $30B nobody else is building
📍 Creative exports — $95M for “storytellers” 🎭
📍 Latvia military — €64M 🪖
📍 Deficit doubled under Carney 📈
Canada is now in recession.
Coincidence ? 🇨🇦

🎥 What happens when Alberta becomes the most investable place in North America?
With certainty, responsible government, lower taxes, and control over our own future, Alberta would no longer be tied to Canada’s decline.
We would be managing Alberta's growth.
Imagine Alberta was already an independent country.
Now imagine Canada approached us with an offer:
Join our federation.
You will send tens of billions of dollars to Ottawa every year, but you won’t control how that money is spent.
National elections will be decided by voters in other regions.
Your Senate representation won’t be equal.
You won’t be able to negotiate your own trade agreements.
You won’t control your own foreign policy.
Major infrastructure projects can be delayed or blocked by politicians and regulators outside Alberta.
Policies that directly affect your economy can be decided by people who don’t work in your industries, don’t live in your communities, and don’t experience the consequences of their decisions.
The constitution won’t guarantee our rights rather it will grant us privileges at the discretion of woke politicians in Ottawa.
Constitutional reform will be so difficult that meaningful change will be impossible.
You will be told this arrangement is permanent.
Would you sign that deal?
Would you vote for it?
That’s the question this meme is asking.
Not whether Canada is good.
Not whether Canadians are good people.
Not whether Alberta has benefited from Confederation in the past.
The question is simple:
If Alberta were already independent today, would you voluntarily choose the arrangement Alberta currently has?
If the answer is no, then you support Alberta Independence.
The problem is not one bad prime minister.
The problem is a system where Alberta can be outvoted forever by people who do not live here, do not share our values, and do not depend on the industries they regulate.
That is why independence matters.
If Canada wants Alberta to stay, it's actually quite simple - just treat Alberta fairly.
Here's how Ottawa could do that:
1) Fix the House of Commons so it's proportional to population.
2) Fix the Senate, so it's elected and there are an equal number of seats per province.
3) Repeal the multiple pieces of legislation preventing pipeline and energy project construction and let the private sector get to work.
4) Get rid of the equalization program.
5) Convert transfer payments using a tax point transfer.
6) Give up the "spending power" on issues that are provincial jurisdiction.
Note that literally none of these would change things to favour Alberta, they would simply remove existing inequalities to make things fair for all provinces.
If the rest of Canada isn't willing to even consider making things fair, why should Alberta stay?
A lot of things are in the air right now.
One certainty though is that if independence advocates focus on taking down Premier Smith rather than pursuing independence, we won't be seeing independence.
Though we may see Premier Nenshi in 2027
