Pro-independence activists needed 177,732 signatures. They just delivered nearly 302,000.
Alberta’s Brexit moment is here. Ottawa can no longer dismiss Western alienation as fringe noise.
A reckoning is coming.
THREAD 🧵
2/ Alberta isn’t just another province with political gripes. It is the productive, energy-rich, conservative West — treated by Ottawa like a colony.
Equalization payments siphon billions east (mostly to Quebec). Pipelines are blocked. The energy sector is sabotaged. Values are mocked. Ottawa extracts wealth and demands gratitude.
This isn’t Confederation. It’s subjugation.
3/ Mark Carney makes it even worse.
Carney is the textbook globalist: hostile to energy, at home in Davos and Brussels, and now pivoting hard to Communist China.
He just announced a “new strategic partnership” with Beijing.
For Alberta, that isn’t a future. It’s a prison sentence.
4/ "Oh, it'll never happen!" That's what they said about Brexit.
In June 2015, Remain led Leave 61–27. A year later, just weeks before the vote, Remain still led 55–37.
Prediction markets and the entire establishment said it was impossible for Leave to win.
Final result? Leave 51.9% – Remain 48.1%.
5/ The ruling class was humiliated — including then-Bank of England Governor Mark Carney.
Now Alberta’s numbers show the same dry timber.
Angus Reid: 29% of Albertans would vote to leave Canada today. Leger: 58% say federal actions could shift their view of Alberta’s future; 62% say the rest of Canada doesn’t understand Western alienation.
And the campaign hasn’t even begun.
6/ Culturally, Alberta belongs with the U.S., not Canada, whether as an ally or even as a state.
And 89% of Alberta's exports already go south.
If it became a state it would have full access to the world’s largest market, constitutional protections Canada lacks, energy freedom, two Senators, and zero Ottawa-style plunder.
The Texas of the North belongs with Texas, not Brussels or Beijing.
7/ Either way, Alberta doesn’t belong in today’s Canada.
Ottawa offers managed decline and tribute to the East. Separation offers liberty and a better future.
The petition is in. The signatures are real. The match is lit.
Will Alberta keep letting Ottawa rule it like a colony — or has its Brexit moment finally arrived?

🧵The SpaceX IPO isn’t overpriced. The future is underpriced.
Fourteen years ago, Facebook’s IPO was mocked as a failure. I called it a Strong Buy. Those who listened made a fortune.
SpaceX is the same story — only much, much bigger. It's the East India Company all over again.🧵
2/ Facebook dominated the social graph. SpaceX is organizing the economic graph of a multiplanetary civilization, and remaking intercontinental transport at the same time.
It launches ~85%+ of the whole world's payload mass to orbit. Starlink connects the planet. Starship slashes costs 95% and enables orbital data centers, lunar industry, Martian cities, point-to-point Earth transport, and military logistics at unprecedented speed.
3/ Wall Street will obsess over today’s revenue and tomorrow’s capex. That misses the point entirely.
SpaceX isn’t just a launch company. It’s building the transportation layer for the Solar System — mass, energy, process, and value on a scale that echoes the opening of the New World in 1492.
At any reasonable IPO price, this is a generational bargain.
🧵The USS Nimitz — America’s oldest aircraft carrier, laid down in 1968 and scheduled for decommissioning this month — just showed up off Cuba’s coast instead.
Raul Castro better watch out. There's a cell beside Maduro's!
Trump isn’t letting old ships rust. He’s using them to project power. 🧵
2/ The Navy extended the Nimitz’s service life by ~10 months.
Now the Nimitz Carrier Strike Group is in the Caribbean, sending a clear message to Havana.
“Welcome to the Caribbean, Nimitz!” — U.S. Southern Command.
It comes after the Justice Department indicted 94-year-old former Cuban dictator Raúl Castro.
Cuba is in free fall, cut off from Venezuelan oil money. Ordinary citizens are burning wood and charcoal to cook while the regime maintains fuel for its military and and lavish lifestyles for its "Communist" leaders.
🧵Calling Israel a “European colonial project” may sometimes be ignorance. But it’s a lie.
Mizrahi Jews — who never lived anywhere but the Middle East for 2,500+ years — are the largest group in Israel (between half and ~61%).
They weren’t colonizers. They were ethnically cleansed from Arab lands in the 20th Century.
The colonial myth requires erasing them. 🧵
2/ These communities predated Islam by 1,500 years. They wrote the Talmud in Iraq. Maintained ancient traditions in Yemen. Formed a third of Baghdad’s population.
In 1948, nearly 900,000 Jews lived across the Arab world.
Today? Fewer than 10 remain in Iraq, Yemen, or Libya.
3/ The ethnic cleansing was systematic:
• Iraq’s Farhud pogrom (1941): 2,600 years of Jewish culture driven out.
• Egypt 1956: Jews given one suitcase, forced to “donate” everything, then expelled.
🧵A single uranium pellet the size of a gummy bear equals the energy of 140 barrels of oil.
Nuclear is the cleanest, safest, densest energy source on Earth. And now, it can be produced with zero chance of meltdown or radiation leaks.
So why isn’t it powering everything? We buried a miracle under 50 years of regulation. That’s changing fast. 🧵
2/ From 1974 to 2025, the NRC approved zero new reactor designs.
Only two reactors came online in that entire period.
Trump’s executive orders are blowing this open: goal to quadruple America’s nuclear fleet by 2050, 18-month licensing timelines, and three new microreactors online by July 4, 2026.
Nuclear entrepreneurs say regulation is finally becoming a solved problem.
3/ The breakthrough making “zero meltdown or radiation leaks” possible is TRISO fuel.
These snooker-ball-sized ceramic pebbles trap radiation inside — even if you turn off all coolant systems. China tested it: the reactor simply cooled down naturally. Wow!
Microreactors using TRISO are small enough to fit in a living room.
🧵 China’s population collapse is now mathematically irreversible.
There simply aren’t enough women left of childbearing age.
Even if the fertility rate magically returned to replacement level (2.1 children per woman) tomorrow, the country would still lose more than 40% of its population by 2100.
It won't. The real number is 75%. There's nothing like it in history. 🧵
2/ Official estimates say China has only ~190 million women of childbearing age. That number is much higher than reality.
The One Child Policy (1980–2016) and its echoes slashed entire generations. Sex-selective abortions made it worse.
The cohorts now entering prime childbearing years are themselves the children of the one-child policy — already a drastically smaller group.
Each generation compounds the previous deficit.
3/ The numbers are brutal.
Population has fallen for four straight years. In 2025: just 7.92 million births vs. 11.31 million deaths — a record natural decline outside Mao’s famine.
Births dropped another 17% in 2025, hitting the lowest level since 1949. Total fertility rate is now ~0.92 (some estimates as low as 0.84).
