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?
What do you think, Alberta? Reply and quote.
Oh, and I wrote a full article on this today! Check it out!
🧵Russia is running out of fuel. Crimea is running out of time.
Ukrainian drones have now knocked out more than half of Russia’s refining capacity. Omsk — the largest refinery, once considered unreachable — is offline.
Putin’s war machine is being starved of usable fuel. 🧵
2/ By mid-July, unplanned outages and attacked capacity reached ~4.3 million barrels per day — roughly 58% of Russia’s total refining capacity.
Actual crude processing has fallen to about 3.8 million barrels per day, the lowest level in 21 years.
Russia still has oil. It is rapidly losing the ability to turn that oil into gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel.
3/ Ukraine is not playing whack-a-mole. It is systematically dismantling the network.
Repeated strikes on the same plants extend outages for months. Russia patches one unit; Ukraine hits another.
Even Siberia is no longer safe. Drones flew 1,700 miles to hit Omsk.
Many Christians wrestle with Romans 13 (“obey the authorities”) and wonder if the Founding Fathers rebelled against God when they broke with King George.
The answer is no — and here’s why. 🧵
2/ Romans 13 requires obedience to lawful commands.
Unlawful orders — even from duly constituted authority — may never be followed.
In Acts 5, the Sanhedrin ordered the apostles to stop preaching Christ. Their reply: “We must obey God rather than men.”
The same principle applies when a king commands tyranny.
3/ Anglo-American government is, and certainly then, was by covenant, and after the upheavals of the 17th century was well understood to be so.
The colonies were in covenant with the King, not subject to absolute rule by Parliament in London. Their people had the same rights as any other Englishmen.
When King George allowed Parliament to impose taxes without representation, quartering of troops, blockades, and other abuses, he broke that covenant.
Trump just scored huge victories: the biggest trade deal in history with the EU, a Lebanon-Israel peace deal, and more.
The world is being reordered in America’s favor — and it’s only getting better.
🧵
2/ Just 11 months ago, Trump signed the largest trade deal ever with the EU.
This week, the EU ratified it. For the first time in history Europe charges us ZERO. And we charge them 15%!
Europe buying $600 billion in new U.S. manufacturing investment and $750 billion in American energy over three years.
The establishment on both sides of the Atlantic said it would never happen, that the whole world would isolate and gang up on America.
Kind of like they told you Hillary would win by 12 points.
3/ At the same time, Marco Rubio negotiated peace between Israel and Lebanon.
Iran gets booted out. Hezbollah gets removed. Lebanon takes full control of its territory for the first time in 51 years.
Mutual recognition of sovereignty. Which is a bigger deal than it sounds, because Lebanon declared war on Israel in 1948 and has legally been at war against them ever since!
This could mean full diplomatic relations and Lebanon joining the Abraham Accords.
