Why We Have Had it With Canada and are Seeking a Divorce

Canada aint worth it.

It looks like the Canadian province of Alberta will hold a referendum to separate from Canada in the autumn of 2026.

Jo Jo and I wish Albertans well no matter what voters decide.

[Thiel]

Jo Jo and I were saying last night while we were spooning that Alberta and Saskatchewan are embarrassing Mr. Carney. First, Saskatchewan's Nutrien terminal goes through the West coast of America and now Ms. Smith is saying that after Mr. Carney's bogus MOU that she will go through Washington State with a Pacific pipeline.

Canada has suicidal tendencies. Alberta and Saskatchewan do not. That is why we are getting out of this dysfunctional marriage.

This is from the Alberta Prosperity Project. Alberta will hold a referendum on leaving Canada likely in October 2026. I hope Saskatchewan's independence referendum will be in the Spring of 2027.

In a landmark victory for direct democracy, Bill 14 has just passed the Alberta Legislature and received Royal Assent at 11:00 a.m. today, December 11, 2025. This clears all hurdles for our citizen-led independence referendum, shifting oversight to empower Albertans like never before!

CEO Mitch Sylvestre has resubmitted our crystal-clear referendum question to the Minister of Justice:

"Do you agree that the Province of Alberta should cease to be part of Canada to become an independent state?"

This puts the power of choice directly in your hands—freedom, prosperity, and self-determination for Alberta.

With the green light secured, signature collection begins in late January. Our teams are mobilizing to make this referendum a reality!

"Royal Assent for Bill 14 today is the breakthrough we've fought for—it's game on for Alberta's independence. This question empowers every citizen to vote yes for a brighter, sovereign future. Let's hit the doors in January and build the yes vote that changes everything!" — Mitch Sylvestre, CEO, Alberta Prosperity Project

Fuck rich globalist wankers like Conman Carney.

I know through North West BC is the most economical route. But, I hope any new pipelines to to West Coast do not go through BC. I do not want Eby or Carney getting any of the money it generates.

Debunking Progtard Propaganda

This Alberta vs Norway graphic is propaganda by design.
It removes context, misleads with cherry-picked stats, and avoids the real issue on purpose.
Here are the facts.
Alberta produces more oil than Norway, not less. The difference isn't resources.
The difference is Ottawa.
Norway is a sovereign nation. It controls its energy policy, taxation, exports, and infrastructure. Alberta does not. Ottawa controls pipelines, export approvals, carbon taxes, emissions caps, and regulatory timelines that directly choke Alberta's economy.
Norway used oil revenues to build a $1.7 trillion sovereign wealth fund for its people. Alberta has sent hundreds of billions to Ottawa through federal taxation and equalization while being told it just needs to "diversify."
The 98% renewable claim is also misleading. Norway didn't abandon oil and gas. It used fossil fuels intelligently to fund social programs, infrastructure, and long-term stability.
This is the propaganda playbook
Cherry-picked stats
False comparisons
Missing political context
Moral framing instead of economic reality
If Alberta were its own nation
It would control its resources
Approve its own infrastructure
Keep its own royalties
Create its own sovereign wealth fund
Negotiate trade directly
Alberta isn't failing. Alberta is being constrained.
The Norway comparison only proves one thing
Sovereignty matters

Canada's decline is showing up at the grocery store.
Same food. Same weights. Canadians pay double.

This isn't normal.
This is policy failure.

Alberta and Saskatchewan deserve control of our own future.

A group promoting the idea of Saskatchewan separating from Canada says its public information sessions are drawing crowds.

The Saskatchewan Prosperity Project (SPP) says its presentations are meant to teach people about the benefits of Saskatchewan becoming a sovereign nation.

"Right now in Canada, it's a sinking ship. And if we don't take our lifeboat and throw it out and get off while we can, we're going down with the ship and we don't have to," SPP president Brad Williams said.

SPP is aligned with the Alberta Prosperity Project, a group with similar goals for that province.

Williams spoke to a crowd of about 200 people at the Saskatoon-area meeting this past week. It was one of several sessions over the last five weeks in communities across the province, including Meadow Lake, Assiniboia, Tompkins, Prince Albert, Raymore, Leader, Swift Current and Kindersley. It plans to continue holding events across the province in the coming months to raise attention to what Williams says are the benefits of Saskatchewan sovereignty.

"What we really gain is that future for our children, you know, prosperity," said Williams. "There's no reason why we should be in a deficit. We should not be in any position other than having a surplus. And a lot of the taxes are way too high."

Treaties do not block Alberta independence.
Independence does not cancel treaties.
There are only three outcomes.
Ottawa keeps paying and administering them.
Alberta assumes responsibility.
Or treaties are renegotiated.
Anything else is misinformation.

The news out of Venezuela today is massive. With the capture of Maduro and the U.S. moving to effectively manage their oil industry, a lot of Canadians—especially in the energy sector—are asking the same question: "What does this mean for us?"

It's a fair question. The U.S. has always been our biggest customer, and now they're poised to control our biggest competitor.
Here's the reality check on what's happening and why it matters to Canada's energy future.

The "Twin" Problem
The biggest issue isn't just that there's more oil on the market; it's the type of oil. Venezuela's Orinoco Belt produces an extra-heavy crude that is almost identical to Alberta's Western Canadian Select (WCS).
The massive refineries on the U.S. Gulf Coast are specially built to process this heavy stuff. For them, swapping a barrel of Canadian oil for a barrel of Venezuelan oil is seamless—no new equipment needed.

The "Tidewater" Advantage
This is where the geography stings. Alberta is landlocked. Getting our oil to the Gulf Coast requires an expensive network of pipelines and rail, costing roughly $5 to $10 USD per barrel.

Venezuela's oil is right on the coast ("tidewater"). They can load it onto supertankers and float it to those same U.S. refineries for about $2 a barrel. If the U.S. is calling the shots in Venezuela, that price difference becomes a major competitive advantage for them—and a problem for us.

The 10-Year Window
Now for the good news: this isn't an overnight crisis. Venezuela's oil infrastructure is in ruins after decades of neglect.
Experts estimate it will take $100 billion in investment and 7 to 10 years of hard work to get their production back to peak levels. That means Canada has a "safe" window where we remain the most reliable supplier of heavy crude to the U.S.

The Path Forward: Sovereignty
This situation proves why we can't rely on a single customer forever. The U.S. is securing its own energy future, and we need to do the same.

The completion of the Trans Mountain Expansion (TMX) is crucial. It gives us direct access to Asian markets like China and India, who are hungry for heavy oil. That pipeline isn't just infrastructure; it's our national insurance policy against shifts in U.S. policy.

The bottom line? The threat is real, but it's long-term. We have a decade to use our advantages—stability, technology, and new tidewater access—to ensure Canada remains an energy powerhouse, no matter what happens south of the border.
