A couple thought on Canada/Alberta and growing movements within it.
There are many people inside the alberta sovereignty and separatist movement..pretending they are all the same is part of the reason this issue keeps getting misunderstood/ignored by other Canadians or misrepresented by MSM.
Some want full separation/ some want a radically decentralized Canada. Others simply want Alberta treated fairly within Confederation.
Believe it or not but many people who still WANT to remain in Canada may still vote YES in a referendum because they recognize one simple reality:
Alberta currently has no meaningful leverage.
For decades, Alberta has heard it all. From speeches to promises, MOUs and symbolic gestures while Ottawa continued consolidating power and restricting the very industries that built this country.
Multiple things can be true at once.
You can love Canada and still recognize the balance of Confederation has become deeply unhealthy.
The entire idea of Confederation was built on a separation of powers between provinces and the federal government. Provinces were never meant to become administrative branches of Ottawa. Yet still Alberta increasingly feels like it is not in control of its own economic future, its resources, or even the conditions required to compete globally.
It is about structural imbalance.
If Ottawa and Mark Carney were truly serious about “working things out,” they would do more than offer another MOU and another carefully crafted speech about national unity.
They would immediately repeal Bill C-69.
They would stop treating Alberta energy as something to merely tolerate while simultaneously depending on it to fund equalization, federal programs, and national growth.
And they would recognize something obvious that much of the world already understands:
Canadian energy is produced under some of the highest environmental and labour standards on earth.
The more responsibly produced canadian energy reaches the world, the less the world depends on authoritarian regimes and countries with dramatically lower standards.
Instead, we continue piling ideological carbon costs, regulatory delays, and investment uncertainty onto the very industries capable of helping pull Canada out of stagnation.
Canada is carrying roughly $1.2 trillion in federal debt. Economic growth is not optional anymore.
Yet many still reduce Alberta frustration to a “temper tantrum.”
That attitude is exactly why this movement continues growing.
Western Canadians are tired of being talked down to by people who neither understand nor respect the mindset that built this province.
There is something deeply ingrained in Alberta’s culture:
the belief that people should have the freedom to build, risk, create, produce, and shape their own future.
Not wait for permission Not depend on Ottawa.
Not be managed endlessly by bureaucratic elites convinced they know better.
And yes, the double standard is obvious.
Quebec nationalism is treated as culturally understandable and politically sophisticated while AB frustration is often portrayed as dangerous, ignorant, or selfish.
This issue is deeper than pipelines. Deeper than one election. Deeper than one politician.
It is about whether Confederation still functions as a partnership… or whether power has become so centralized that provinces no longer meaningfully control their own destiny.
I still hope this can be repaired within Canada.
But it will require far more than symbolic gestures and carefully worded reassurances.

Jeremy and David break down Pierre Poilievre's massive interview on The Joe Rogan Experience, the biggest podcast in the world! 🌍🇨🇦
From Canada's untapped resources & slashing red tape, to conversations on MAiD, media balance, free speech, and what real patriotism means in a divided country...
they dive deep into the key moments and ask:
Is Canada ready to unlock its potential as a global leader in minerals, energy, and innovation? Or are bigger challenges ahead?

This is a narrow view and a bad take.
Yes, Israel benefits from this, but it is not the primary driver. To understand what’s happening you have to zoom out and see it through the lens of U.S. \ China competition. this is about weakening China’s leverage over the future, especially after threats to restrict rare earth minerals.
Disrupting energy flows and strategic supply chains is how great powers compete. This has always been about the U.S. and China…every move.
Agreed.
It’s the same poor strategy that keeps coming from Conservatives. Immigration exposed systemic weaknesses in Canada.
Seems like talking points and solutions are always driven by wha is popular in public discourse.
True leaders look beyond that and go to the root, whether it’s popular or not.
For the gold medal Olympic hockey game - I’m
proposing @realDonaldTrump@JDVance@MarkJCarney if Canada wins - 0% tariffs across the board. If US wins - 100% tariffs across the board.
Let’s make this interesting!
When I initially bought my house, it was worth ~50 BTC or $625,000 CAD
At the top in October 2025, it was worth ~4.27 BTC, or ~$750,000
Today, it's worth 8.5 BTC (CAD price hasn't changed)
Home prices will continue to see lower lows and lower highs forever in terms of Bitcoin
Your Bitcoin will buy more housing over the long term, FOREVER
More houses can always be built
There will never be more than 21,000,000 Bitcoin
If Ottawa actually wants to unite Canada, heres a real first step.
scrap Bill C-69.
Strong provinces will build a strong Canada.
This is action and not a MOU.
Building bridges starts here.
No evidence - money trail and no logic here.
Just dismissing Albertans instead of listening to them. If Trump is funding Alberta separatists, someone should tell them.
They’ve been paying their own taxes into Confederation for 50 years.
100% - this is paramount. What’s happening in BC is extremely dangerous because it could set a precedent where nothing is secure for citizens of this country.
Is the “rules-based international order” actually breaking down, or was it always more fragile than we were told?
In our latest conversation with @PardyBruce , we explore:
• Mark Carney’s WEF message on global power.
• Canada’s economic structure and protected industries.
• The growing Alberta independence movement.
• What sovereignty really means in a world of trade deals and political pressure.
Sometimes the hardest questions are the ones we’ve avoided asking.

This is a perfect example of the problem we face as Canadians.
Continually pointing to external forces as our problem. When the real problem is the internal choices we have made.
Canada is in the situation it is in because of us.
Let’s first admit there’s a problem…
