I met an Albertan today who liked the idea of independence but felt overwhelmed by everything that would need to be figured out.

Then something clicked:

We don’t have to settle every question before October 19.

This first referendum is non-binding.

Option 2 gives Alberta the opportunity to strengthen its hand and see what Canada is actually prepared to put on the table.

Maybe that’s meaningful constitutional reform. Maybe Ottawa offers very little. Either way, we learn something before deciding what comes next.

You don’t need to know exactly where the road ends to give Alberta the strongest hand possible.

Vote Option 2.

I had a client in Saudi Arabia, one of the biggest shippers. He called and said what do you think gold's going to do tomorrow, Iraq's going to start attacking shipping tomorrow.

Somebody always knows war is going to start. The money moves in anticipation.

Tracking those initial capital flows is key.

This is where the neocons are always wrong. They really think they go in, they overthrow Putin, and the people will rise up, cheer, and give them a ticker tape parade.

You might end up with Dmitry Medvedev, who's ready to drop nukes right now on everyone.

@sarobertson_ Can’t change weather and he knows it. But what an excuse to up taxes.

@CTVNews Hurts the lower income families the most.

Of course Americans have the highest take-home incomes on earth.

But what jumped out is Canadian take-home is now closer to Mexico than it is to the US 🤯

@WesternStandard These new warnings are a joke. Was better before. They say it’s a yellow or red warning then on the weather map it might be blue or grey. So confusing. Plus there’s so many warnings no one takes any serious anymore. Typical government. Private forecasters are far superior.

[Martin A. Armstrong @ArmstrongEcon]

The Keynesian school argues that deficits stimulate growth because government spending increases demand.

That theory ignores one critical fact. Borrowed money is not free money. Every dollar the government borrows must ultimately come from the productive sector of the economy, whether through taxation, inflation, or borrowing that competes with private investment.

[Martin A. Armstrong @ArmstrongEcon]

Governments do not create wealth. They redistribute it. When an ever-growing percentage of economic output is devoted to servicing debt and funding government promises, productivity slows, innovation weakens, and long-term growth inevitably declines. Eventually the economy begins working for the government instead of the government working for the economy.

@MadelnCanada Probably 1st🥇in high taxes too.

[ds @legacy1919]

@MarkJCarney Most are worried about buying groceries, rent and paying bills, not going to a park. Reduce taxes for everyone so we can keep more of our paycheck. Stop the waste.

@thestarcard100 @POTUS How about a grant for Canadians for heating?? 🤬🤬
