Major Frank Prentice was 18 years old when he dropped over a hundred feet off the stern of the Titanic into a sea full of ice.
He survived. This is what he saw.
Prentice worked in the Purser's office.
He was in his cabin at midships when the collision happened. He describes no chaos, no impact, nothing dramatic:
"It was just like jamming your brakes on my car. There was no great impact you couldn't feel. Just a bit of a shudder and she stopped."
That quiet did not last.
As the ship began to sink, Prentice moved through it.
He helped stewardesses into lifeboats who did not know where to go. He helped a woman named Mrs. Clark with her lifejacket. She did not want to leave her husband. He told her the husband would follow on later.
He would not.
On his way back from the lifeboats, Prentice heard the band. They were playing "Nearer My God to Thee" and singing.
He kept walking.
When the end came, he made his way to the stern. He describes it as quiet up there.
By the time he let go, the ship was nearly vertical. He had been hanging onto a board that read "Keep Clear of Propeller Blades."
At the very last moment, he let go and fell.
"I just missed the propellers on the way down."
The drop was over a hundred feet. The water was packed with ice and chunks of berg.
His watch stopped at 2:20 am.
He was not alone in the water at first. Then he was.
"I gave it a long thought when I was on my own and everybody else seemed to be dead round me."
He had two life jackets and a cushion.
He paddled toward a light he could still see from the rockets the bridge had fired. He reached a lifeboat and climbed in.
Mrs. Clark was already there. She wrapped a blanket around him and tried to keep him warm.
Her husband had drowned.
When asked who was responsible for the disaster, Prentice did not hesitate.
He blamed the bridge. He blamed Bruce Ismay, chairman of the shipping line, for pushing Captain Smith to maintain speed through waters they had been warned were full of ice.
"We had warnings that there was ice. We had it from ships and shore, and we went straight ahead as if there was nothing there in our way."
His verdict was simple:
That ship was thrown away.
Prentice was interviewed decades later.
Asked if the memory still haunted him, he said:
"When I'm alone tonight, I still think a lot about it. Can't help it, can you?"

Watch this.
A guy goes to a Canada Day event and asks the most basic question: “Do you celebrate Canada?”
The response he gets is immediate hostility... “you’re such a loser,” people trying to silence him, waving activist flags instead of Canadian ones.
This isn’t a national holiday celebration anymore. It’s turned into something else entirely... where pride in Canada is treated like a dirty word and simple questions get you attacked.
This is the end result of years of tearing down our history, our identity, and any sense of shared pride in this country.
Trudeau accelerated it. The current crew is doubling down. If we don’t speak up and push back, this division and self-loathing becomes permanent.
A guy at the Forever Canada rally accused me of showing up at @RedHeartBrewery to “cancel” the business.
I understand why he was worried. That’s what some people on his side have been trying to do to us.
There are Alberta businesses being listed, targeted, harassed, threatened, and pressured because they publicly support Alberta independence. I won’t name them here because I don’t want to draw more attention to the target list.
But that is exactly the point.
I did not go to Red Hart Brewery to cancel anyone.
I went there to have peaceful conversations at a public political event. The owners were welcoming, respectful, and allowed me to record in their parking lot even though I was the only Alberta independence supporter in the crowd.
That is how democracy is supposed to work.
So here is my response: if you support Alberta independence, go to Red Hart Brewery. Bring your friends and enjoy their delicious beer! Say thank you for supporting free speech and letting both sides exist in public.
We don’t win by copying cancel culture.
We win by taking the higher moral ground.

I am having a drink this evening with a friend in a Chiswick pub. Two policemen have just come into the pub and asked me to step outside. I have stepped outside and they have threatened me because I tweeted about a councillor banning seating outside pubs in Chiswick. They admit on video (watch it!) that I did not break the law at all. They came to threaten me. To warn me off tweeting about councillors and the council. This is modern Britain. This is the police state. Please, please, please watch this video. It does involve me using very bad language, but this has got to be seen. Police coming out to threaten someone who hasn’t committed a crime. I’m fuming.
The Bolsheviks didn’t abolish Russian culture overnight. They delegitimized it first, teaching people that inherited norms were tools of oppression. Sound familiar? The playbook never changes.

Hi @ElectionsAB.
There seems to be a problem with your website.
I can't see who is funding "Forever Canada".
They've apparently been a 3rd party fundraiser "since June 8 2026."
The have a fancy RV, activities, and have printed thousands of signs.
Not free things.

HOLY TOLEDO!*
We got ourselves a patriot in the air!
A Cessna with tail number N4936T just completed a USA 250th flight complete with map of the lower 48.
Impressive.👍

Congratulations Alberta, you just bought yourselves a TransMountain-like pipeline.
If all goes well it will be operational by 2035, and will only cost $50 billion in taxpayer money.... money we don't have.
Let's run some very simple economics.
It will transport 1 million barrels per day, at a fee of $10/barrel. That means it will generate $10,000,000/day in revenue, which is $3.65 billion/year. But it will cost at least $1 billion/year to operate (power, labour, chemicals, maintenance, interest on the borrowed money, carbon tax, etc).
So the initial payout is $50 B divided by $2.65 B/yr. which is 18.8 years. Who wants to wait almost 20 years before they get a return on their investment?
The economics don't work because the regulations make the pipeline too expensive and risky. There was a time, lest than 15 years ago, when the private sector could have built this for $10 billion.
This is not a win. The real problems aren't being addressed, and this is making things worse.
@CoryBMorgan As an Independence seeker and someone who canvassed i would like to know who the "MAGA" are ? Linking us to that term make no sense and isn't reality.
Mark Twain happened to be in Paris in 1867 when the Turkish sultan of the Ottoman Empire was visiting French Emperor Napoleon III. Here is what Twain had to say:
‘Napoleon III, the representative of the highest modern civilization, progress and refinement; Abdul-Aziz, the representative of a people by nature and training filthy, brutish, ignorant, unprogressive, superstitious - and a government whose Three Graces are Tyranny, Rapacity, Blood. Here in brilliant Paris, under the majestic Arch of Triumph, the First Century greets the Nineteenth!’
Caleb Hammer absolutely TORCHED this blue haired liberal who claims to be a socialist on his show.
He told her to name one socialist system anywhere in the world ever in time that is worked and naturally she couldn’t.
Because they don’t exist.
The problem is that rainbow crosswalks are not, as the Langley RCMP asserts, “a symbol of inclusion, diversity, and community pride.”
They are symbols of ideological conquest, power, and far-left extremism. And I don’t blame those who’ve had it with forced rainbow compliance.
