@thomas_garrard Think of how many scrap cars there are out there. There are legitimate shops that will grind the cats down to dust then use a distillery type chemical process to separate the metals. The same thing happens with valuable metals off old circuit boards

If Alberta stopped sending any money to Ottawa tomorrow... within weeks you'd find out just how much of the so-called federal services we finance.

Ottawa is broke.

The start-up costs of an independent Alberta are nowhere near $400 billion.

Do we need embassies in every country the day after independence?

How are is it to print our own passports? We already have the facilities.

Do we really need Alberta Posts, or can we contract that out to a private organization?

Are border points along the SK, BC and YT urgent? We can quickly staff the ones along the USA border with our own people.

Our courts are sufficient.

We can get someone to physically print some money for us, and back it with the Alberta treasury, or we can just adopt another currency for the short term.

We can net out our share of the debt, with the $300 billion that the CPP Fund owes us.

OAS continues unchanged for anyone already collecting it.

EI takes a month to implement.

It's all fear-mongering. Our ancestors started out with nothing, and built this province. We can do this.

@MarkJCarney Remove the "Skilled" from Trades, we already struggle to find qualified workers since Covid, no one needs green workers, we need workers with education and knowledge

His wife and kids live in the USA. He moved his Brookfield HQ to the USA. Over 90% of his investments are in the USA. He hides his money offshore so as not to pay taxes in Canada. He calls himself Europeon. How dumb are Canadians. Carney's new video.

@SenSanders All I’ve seen on X today is Venezuelans celebrating Maduro being removed from power and Democrat politicians condemning it. That tells me all I need to know

The number 1 concern people have about an independent Alberta, is:

"What will happen to my Canada pension? "

The answer is "nothing". You'll collect it, the same way you would if you moved to Florida or Costa Rica. Your pension is yours.

But what I want to point out is how little your CPP actually will be. This is from the CPP's web site.

The average monthly benefit in 2025 was only $848/month. That's just over $10,000/year.

The maximum anyone could collect in 2025 was $1,433 or just over $17,000 a year. The CPP was always designed as a bare minimum, designed to replace no more than 25% of your annual earnings.

An independent Alberta will be able to offer a much better pension plan.

Note: In order to receive the maximum CPP benefit, you'll need to contribute the maximum amount each year, from 18 to 65. Sources consistently describe recipients of the full maximum as "very few" or a small minority, often estimated in the low single digits (e.g., less than 2-5%).

Note: CPP benefits are set to increase by 2% in 2026, indexed to inflation.

Former B.C. Premier, Christie Clark, drops a huge truth bomb..

"The Americans are moving all of this heavy oil from Alaska right down the same route at 12.1 nautical miles offshore in international waters. All kinds of oil is moving along that coast all the time every day and week. So for Canada to have a tanker ban that only affects Canada, and only constrains the Canadian economy while the American economy thrives is ridiculous"

We just love shooting ourselves in the foot in this country.

And with all due respect to my Canadian friends, whose politics focus obsessively on the United States: your stagnating living standards have nothing to do with Donald Trump or whatever bogeyman the CBC tells you to blame.

The fault lies with your leadership, elected by you.

There's a direct correlation between union participation and the weakness of a provincial economy.

Quebec has resources, cheap energy, an educated population, universities, proximity to the largest market on the planet, access to tidewater and more. Yet it continues to underperform economically. It's an economic basket case.

Why?

It's unionized, politically mis-managed, and has an unproductive populace, addicted to welfare.
