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 🧵Image
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.Image
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.Image
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%.Image
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.Image
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.Image
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?

What do you think, Alberta? Reply and quote.Image

While the media obsesses over tariffs, Trump is quietly executing a masterclass in dollar dominance — and yanking real power away from the IMF and various globalist institutions.

This isn’t crisis aid. It’s strategic financial statecraft.

Thread 🧵🔥 Image
2/ You may have never heard of currency swap lines. They aren’t new. But Trump & Bessent’s use of them is revolutionary.

They’re extending direct dollar facilities to Gulf states & Asian partners — creating a U.S.-controlled dollar network for nations China wants to peel away. Image
3/ Normally this is IMF turf: multilateral crisis finance with surveillance, conditionality, and endless meetings.

The U.S. has ~16.5% voting power — enough to block, but not enough to run the show. Europe, China, Japan and others hold real sway.

Trump rejects that trap. Why let others veto American power?Image

🧵The Iranian regime’s “oil storage clock” is ticking down to zero — and the U.S. Navy just turned up the dial.

Tankers are bottled up. No exports means no cash. With no revenue, even the mullahs can only last so long.

But it's even worse than that. ⏰🇺🇸 Image
2/ Since Trump’s blockade began, 1.5+ million barrels per day have nowhere to go. Storage is nearly full.

Analysts say forced shut-ins hit mid-May to mid-June. $13 billion a month in regime revenue — gone.

And shut-in fields are damaged fields. Some may not recover. Image
3/ When storage runs out, wells get shut in and may never recover. Corrosion, “wax” oil solidifying, water coning — possibly permanent loss of 300,000–500,000 barrels per day.

That’s $9–15 billion a year the mullahs would NEVER get back. 💥 Image

🚨 NATO is unraveling.

But is that actually BAD?

Should America care?

And how do we turn our rich, freeloading “allies” into real partners instead of welfare dependents?

Thread. 🧵 Image
2/ NATO was born in 1949 to stop the Soviet Empire. Stalin had a massive army pointed at Frankfurt, Paris, London. We didn’t want Soviet armies on the Atlantic coast aimed at New York and Virginia.

Better to fight them there than here, and save Europe in the process. Image
3/ Fast-forward: the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991.

Today’s Russia can’t even conquer Kiev after four years.
Yet Germany (3rd largest economy on Earth) and Britain (6th) still can’t defend themselves.

They’ve outsourced their security to us—for free. Image

🚨 BREAKING: President Trump has canceled his upcoming meeting with Xi Jinping and announced 100% tariffs on Chinese goods starting Nov. 1.

His reason? Beijing just imposed global export controls on rare earths — the materials that power the modern world. 🧵👇 Image
2/ China controls 92% of rare earth refining — metals essential for EVs, semiconductors, fighter jets, & submarines.

Beijing is weaponizing that — sending letters to nations warning it’ll restrict exports on “virtually anything.”

Trump called it “sinister and hostile.” ⚠️ Image
3/ “They’re holding the world captive,” Trump said.

But he’s striking back:

💥 100% tariffs on all Chinese imports starting Nov. 1
💥 New U.S. countermeasures against Chinese trade blackmail
💥 Full economic response to defend U.S. supply chains & sovereignty 🇺🇸Image

🚨 America’s energy comeback is official.

Congress just voted to repeal Biden’s mining and drilling bans in Alaska, Montana, and North Dakota.

The bills now go to President Trump’s desk — where they’ll be signed into law within days. 🇺🇸💪

It's long overdue. 🧵👇 Image
2/ The Senate passed three resolutions:

✅ H.J. Res. 104 – Montana
✅ H.J. Res. 105 – North Dakota
✅ H.J. Res. 106 – Alaska

Each overturns Biden-era “land management” rules that shut down coal, oil, and mineral development across millions of acres for no good reason.

Trump will restore them all. 🔥Image
3/ In Montana, Sen. Steve Daines said his bill ends Biden’s “disastrous” coal ban and unlocks Montana’s full energy potential.

Eastern Montana will see new coal leasing and mining jobs — fueling both local economies and U.S. manufacturing.

🇺🇸 “We’re bringing mining back.” Image

🇮🇱🇺🇸 BREAKING: Celebrations erupt across Israel and Gaza.

Trump’s 20-point peace plan has reached its first major breakthrough: agreement for Hamas to release all Israeli hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners — with a ceasefire to follow.

History is happening. 🧵👇 Image
2/ After talks in Egypt, both sides agreed to the first phase.

📦 All 48 remaining Israeli hostages will be freed within days.
💥 Hundreds of Palestinian prisoners will be released.
🕊️ A formal ceasefire follows Israel’s ratification tomorrow.

Families are calling Trump a peacemaker.Image
3/ One hostage’s wife wrote on X:

“My heart is overflowing with gratitude... Thank you, President Trump.”

At Tel Aviv’s Hostages Square, Israelis chanted “Thank you Trump! Thank you Netanyahu!”

That's EIGHT peace deals in eight months for Donald Trump. Image
