Posts are mainly about Canadian politics and pushing back on the cult of feminism. You can keep your drama; I'm here for the conversations.

@JackDan110 I follow a good chunk of these accounts... And now just doing a bunch more to follow. Neat.

🚨 Canadians are NOT okay.

This guy in the truck just said what millions are feeling right now:

“I think we’re all just exhausted from having nothing.”

Two bags of groceries = $72.
Tank of gas = $60… and he filled up two days ago.
No matter how hard you work, how early you get up, or how much you make… you still end up with nothing.

Can’t afford a house.
Can’t afford food.
Can’t afford to live.

And the question he asks at the end is the one every Canadian should be asking:

Why is everyone in government getting richer while the rest of us are getting crushed?

Eleven years of Liberal rule destroyed the middle class.
We thought it couldn’t get worse than Trudeau.

Then Carney showed up and said:
“Hold my champagne 🥂”

This is what managed decline looks like in real time.

Drop a 🤕 if you’re at the end of your rope too.

Well, as an Albertan, if this were reversed with any other province/territory, I shouldn't have a say in the matter. It's not my place to determine what the people in another province/territory want to do.

Case in point: Nunavut. Exactly how many Canadians got a say in the creation of the territory? Exactly how many Canadians were consulted on their thoughts and opinions on the matter?

I'm not saying it is/was a bad thing, but it was only those (at the time) in NWT who got to determine the separation of the one territory into two territories.

This. All of this.

Under capitalism, socialists are free to build socialism.

Under socialism, capitalists aren’t free to build anything.

Nothing stops a group of socialists pooling their money, forming a company, and splitting every wage and every pound of profit perfectly equally.... Or to donate all profit to the government.

It’s legal. It’s easy. Owning the means of production is as simple as setting up a company.

Marx wrote his manifesto before the invention of limited liability companies. Back then “seize the factory” meant seizing it from the handful of families who could afford one.

That argument expired the day anyone could start a company with limited liability, raise investment and hire who they want.

Socialists are free to lead by example and demonstrate their system works. They can out-recruit, out-motivate, out-build and out innovate based on their ideas if they like. It would prove the philosophy works. Capitalism will happily host their experiment.

The fact that nobody does this tells you a lot.

[Amanda @blurbversion]

@AreOhEssEyeEe It's a sad state of affairs when we can no longer distinguish the difference between satire/parody and if something/one is being genuine.

That being said, I think this account is satire/parody. If it's not, I'll stand corrected, and not be surprised.

🚨 CANADA: 11 YEARS APART

Look at the numbers. Same country. Completely different results.

**2015 - Conservative Canada:**
✅ $1.9B surplus
✅ Debt-per-capita: $16,559
✅ AAA credit rating
✅ Violent crime: 1,070/100k
✅ #5 happiest country on earth
✅ GDP growth beating most of the planet

**2026 - Liberal Canada:**
❌ $48.3B deficit
❌ Debt-per-capita: $29,923
❌ Downgraded to AA+
❌ Violent crime: 1,428/100k (up 33%)
❌ #15 happiest (down 10 spots)
❌ Dead-last in OECD growth

Same country. Different results.

The numbers don’t lie.

Liberal rule under Trudeau and now Carney has been an absolute disaster.

Liberal Tears 😭 in 3...2...1.. 🤣

This would be a valid point, except:

- Canada hands out citizenship to people who weren't born here, and have never even set foot on the soil. (Spoiler alert: these people, that are over 18, can vote)

- Canada allows "permanent residents" (some of which have only been here for months) to join CAF.

- Canada just passed a bill (C-3) allowing people to claim citizenship because their ancestors have "ties" to the land.

- Immigrants have access to social programs from Day 1.

Rules for thee, but not for Albertans. Seems like an argument in favour of separation.

[Michael Thomlinson @miket136]

@Martyupnorth @Coralie4955 Albertans aren’t interested in leaders. We want representatives.

As soon as a politician starts telling us rather than asking us, their days are numbered.

[Notalia @NotaliaMateo]

Can someone explain the difference between a "technical" recession and plain old "your country is fucked because your leader is a moron" recession?

I have yet to figure out the difference.

[nuni sas yu @Nuni_Sas_Yu]

Canada has fallen. Alberta Independence is more than economic motivations, that is just the assurance that Alberta can afford to evolve from Confederation into a sovereign constitutional republic.

Canada’s uncontrolled migration is the perfect Cloward-Piven strategy execution. You will see it in every emergency room in the country. Inflation, recession, foreign spending, uncontrolled debt that will bankrupt the country. It will be nasty.
The digital surveillance infrastructure is pure tyranny.
This is the hill. Soft acquiescence, may appeal to some, but it will not be enough to save Alberta. So, keep reminding people you have an exit plan. Others are not that fortunate.

[David Robinson @CalgaryDave]

If you want to run Alberta, the way Canada ran Alberta... yeah, it'll be hundreds of billions of dollars because there's a blatant disregard for money.

But we're not making Canada 2.0.

We're making Alberta.

[Martyupnorth®- Unacceptable Fact Checker @Martyupnorth]

Look, Alberta, you're in a deeply abusive relationship with Ottawa. They control our finances, slap us with endless equalization payments, restrict our main industry every chance they get, impose policies with don't agree with, and treat us like an ATM that also has to apologize for existing.

But hey... divorce is expensive. You'd have to get your own apartment (sovereignty), pay your own bills (debt share, military, borders, pensions), and figure out groceries (replacing federal programs).

That's like $200 billion upfront (i.e first 3-5 years) and $25 billion a year after that. Call it $40,000 per Albertan just to stop the beatings! We'll send that to Quebec in the next 5 years.

The alternative?? You're miserable, disrespected, and getting robbed blind every year... but at least you have a roof over your head (sort of) and you know the devil you know.

Is it really better to just keep quiet, take the abuse, and hope they occasionally throw you a few scraps instead of having to adult on your own?

Brett, Premier Smith, Kenney, Nenshi and so many others want you to belive that staying in a toxic relationship is the fiscally responsible choice.

"World-class morons for even thinking about leaving. Except my buddy Keith." Thanks Brett.

P.S. Alberta's GDP would immediately make it a G30 country.

P.P.S. There are 50+ smaller countries around the World that manage all this already. Think Ireland, Sweden, Norway, Israel, Thailand. We can do this.

Here is a conversation on X typical of the disconnect in Canada. I copied and pasted rather than reveal his identity. I don't want people to attack him. I just want people to observe how people think... or how they don't think.

-If you don’t like Canada anymore, and you think it’s “lost”…then you do exactly what you do when you don’t like the city you’re living in anymore. You pack up and go. But you don’t get to take your favourite neighbours and stores with you.

You inadvertently just stated our cause. Thank you very much. We don't like it and we're packing our bags and leaving. If it doesn't happen this time, it'll happen in the future. Alberta is leaving.
And your solution is just leave. If you don't like ten years worth of criminality, corruption, doubling of the national debt, a government so scandal ridden that you can't even get a, a hold of one scandal before they're on to the next three, just leave.
That's your solution. If you don't like it, leave.
If you don't like drug addicts dying in your streets, just leave.
If you don't like homeless encampments from coast to coast, just leave.
If you don't like your politicians selling out your vote to foreign unelected NGOs, just leave.
If you don't like China controlling our ports and politics, just leave.
If you don't like food banks from coast to coast, just leave.
If you don't like your children's future being stolen from them, just leave.
If you don't like your nation being hollowed out while corrupt politicians stuff their pockets with your tax dollars, just leave.
That's quite the political philosophy you've got going on there, my friend, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the advice.

-Well, for the hundredth time…what is it you want? Is it something actually doable? Does it make Alberta different than other provinces in Canada? Because as long as I’ve been alive, Alberta is pissed off about one goddamned thing after another.

You really can't figure it out, can you? I read your other comments and you have a skewed and dismissive vision of what Alberta's position is. How about we try equal representation across Parliament, Senate, and the Supreme Court? We are shockingly underrepresented.
What if rather than attacking us, the rest of Canada actually pressured the government to let us in and give us a voice in our own country? What if we didn't have a government full of climate ideologues going completely out of their way to create bills which stifle our resource sector and wealth creation, which benefits not only us, but the entire nation?
What if Canadians actually listened to us rather than default to calling us names for voicing legitimate historical beefs?
The fact that my previous list of concerns seemed to slide right past you without comment says a lot.
We've been speaking of our discontent, being treated as second class citizens in our own country for a hundred and twenty years, and you act as if you've never heard it before, telling me just to finally spit it out.
You are not listening.
The fact is that if this was reversed and it was the Maritimes being ignored by the nation, I would fight and vote on their behalf. It doesn't seem to be reciprocal.

[Amanda @blurbversion]

@EntomologyKing @mama_bear71 I didn't mention laws.

Just because a man couldn't be criminally/legally charged with a crime doesn't mean that he wasn't "dealt with" in other ways.

[Amanda @blurbversion]

@hellomoto212421 @PatsKam Yeah, online is not real life. "Touching grass", as the kids say, is a real thing. The internet also tends to highlight and show only the worst, with the algorithm and all.

[Amanda @blurbversion]

@ostrichfarm4evr @DustyRoseYYC This point can be made for both separation and staying. Canada has a recent history of prohibiting or hindering resource development, so that would need to change if this were to be a valid argument for the "stay side".

[Amanda @blurbversion]

You do have a point, there is no guarantee against corruption or foreign interference, not by a long shot.

Alberta, if an independent nation, would theoretically have those balances and checks in place, probably more so than Canada does ATM. But starting off as a nation would also carry a risk. So, there are both sides to that coin to consider.
