So when the US and Mexico sign a bilateral deal and walks away from USMCA, and Toyota pulls out of Canada making Ontario a have not province in the eyes of equalization, how does that affect the referendum question in Alberta in October knowing that ON is set to receive a per capita funding of 25 billion on par with what Quebec receives? How do you think this plays out?

"While it is true that Canadian oil and natural gas volumes have grown over the past ten years, they grew at a fraction of their potential. We have continued to grow by debottlenecking existing projects, improving efficiencies, and brownfield expansion. We continue to lever off the investments that were made prior to 2015. In fact, only one greenfield oil sands project has been approved and built since 2013, while capital investment in oil sands peaked in 2014. So as Canadians, we need to ask ourselves – what did we get for this? We forewent investment, jobs, royalties, and taxes, while the world continued to consume exactly the same amount of energy... it just didn’t come from Canada." /4

I am truly perplexed that so many people are against mosques being built... I think it should be the goal of every Western Society to be tolerant regardless of their religious beliefs. Thus mosques should be allowed, in an effort to promote tolerance. That is why I also propose that two nightclubs be opened next door to the mosque, thereby promoting tolerance from within the mosque. We could call one of the clubs, which would be gay, "The Turban Cowboy ", and the other a topless bar called "You Mecca Me Hot." Next door should be a butcher shop that specializes in pork, and adjacent to that an open-pit barbecue pork restaurant, called "Iraq o' Ribs." Across the street there could be a lingerie store called "Victoria Keeps Nothing Secret ", with sexy mannequins in the window modeling the goods. Next door to the lingerie shop there would be room for an adult sex toy shop, "Koranal Knowledge ", its name in flashing neon lights, and on the other side an off-licence called "Morehammered." All of this would encourage Muslims to demonstrate the tolerance they demand of us, so their mosque issue would not be a problem for others.

It was all for show. Canadians swallowed it whole. Not watch the cognitive dissonance nuclear bomb go off across the country.
BREAKING: The Financial Times is reporting Canada has quietly shifted its trade strategy, pivoting from open defiance of U.S. tariffs to a "Fortress North America" pitch aimed at winning back a seat at the CUSMA negotiating table before the July 1 deadline. 👇🧵 (1/5)

Hey Canada hit the translate and educate yourselves. All you boomers wanting to “stick it to the US” here’s your chance. This explains why 100’s of millions of US environmental philanthropy dollars found its way into Indian Chiefs’ and environmental pockets. It was never about the environment. It was about the US controlling its foreign policy in EU and Asia through restrictive energy policy.
لفهم مايحصل في مضيق هرمز الآن، إقرأ هذا المقال المكتوب قبل بداية الأزمة بستة شهور! إنها حروب الغاز يا عزيزي! الثلاثاء 22 يوليو 2025 أصبح الغاز المسال جزءاً لا يتجزأ من السياسة الخارجية الأميركية، وتستخدمه الولايات المتحدة كسلاح سياسي واقتصادي. مكنت ثورة الصخري الولايات المتحدة من قلب أسواق الطاقة العالمية رأساً على عقب، لهذا فهي ثورة. فكل الاتجاهات الصعودية أصبحت هابطة، وكل الاتجاهات النازلة أصبحت صاعدة، وحولت الولايات المتحدة من أكبر مستورد متوقع للغاز المسال إلى أكبر مصدر له، وأصبحت أكبر منتج للنفط في العالم، وأحد أكبر مصدري النفط. في بداية الألفية، أعلن عدد من رؤساء الشركات والمحللين والسياسيين الأميركيين أن عصر الغاز الأميركي انتهى، وعلى الولايات المتحدة أن تستورد الغاز المسال. وبناء على ذلك استثمرت الشركات الأميركية في قطر، وجرى بناء عدد من محطات إعادة التغويز في الموانئ الأميركية استعداداً لفيضان من واردات الغاز المسال. إلا أن ثورة الصخري غيرت ذلك وجاءت بكميات هائلة من الغاز، التي لا يمكن تسويقها إلا عن طريق الغاز المسال لأنه لا يمكن بناء أنابيب إلى أوروبا وآسيا. بعد ضم بوتين لجزيرة القرم، قررت الدولة العميقة في الولايات المتحدة دعم صناعة الغاز المسال، بهدف إحلال الغاز الأميركي محل الروسي في أوروبا. خلال تلك الفترة، لم تكن أوروبا معتمدة على الغاز الروسي بصورة كبيرة فقط، ولكن اعتمادها يزيد بصورة كبيرة. هذا الاعتماد الكبير يعني، من وجهة النظر الأميركية، أن بوتين يستطيع الضغط على أوروبا لتحقيق ما يريد، أو يمنع الدول الأوروبية من اتخاذ أي إجراءات ضد روسيا. أدرك بوتين ما يريده الأميركيون منذ عام 2014، فقرر أن تقوم الشركات الروسية بإنهاء خط نوردستيريم 2 إلى ألمانيا بدلاً من انتظار مشاركة شركات النفط والطاقة الغربية، وهكذا بدأ سباق محموم بين الولايات المتحدة وروسيا. نجح كلاهما في بناء البنية التحتية، إذ أصبحت الولايات المتحدة تصدر الغاز المسال إلى أوروبا، وبنى بوتين أنبوب نوردستريم 2، ولكن لم يدرك مدى سيطرة الأميركيين على السياسات الألمانية، إذ قرروا عدم استلام أي غاز عبر الأنبوب، ومن ثم انتهى مشروع بوتين. ولاحقاً جرى تفجير أنبوب نوردستريم 1 في قاع البحر، وبالتالي توقف ضخ الغاز الروسي إلى أوروبا عبر هذا الأنبوب أيضاً. مع انخفاض ضخ الغاز الروسي أفسح المجال أمام الغاز المسال الأميركي، وزيادة اعتماد الاتحاد الأوروبي على الغاز المسال، لدرجة أنه شكل 51 في المئة من إجمالي واردات الغاز في يونيو (حزيران) الماضي. خلال فترة السباق المحموم، حصلت "معارك جانبية" كثيرة في مجال الغاز. فهناك عقود طويلة الأمد بين "غازبروم" والشركات الأوروبية لإمداد الغاز عبر الأنابيب، بينما كانت روسيا تبني محطات الغاز المسال، ووقعت عقود طويلة المدة مع ألمانيا. الشركات الروسية تحقق أرباحاً أكثر من بيع الغاز المسال لأوروبا بدلاً من بيع الغاز عبر الأنابيب، فقام بوتين بالإصرار على دفع الشركات الأوروبية ثمن الغاز عبر الأنابيب بالروبل الروسي، فقرر الاتحاد الأوروبي معاقبة أية شركة تدفع بالروبل، ولما لم تدفع، أوقف بوتين ضخ الغاز بالأنابيب "قانونياً"، وأجبر الأوروبيين على شراء الغاز المسال المرتفع الثمن، لأنه لم يكن هناك بديل. العقد طويل المدة أوقع ألمانيا في ورطة، فحتى لا تظهر علناً أنها تستهلك الغاز الروسي وتمول حرب بوتين في أوكرانيا، نسقت مع الروس وفرنسا لإرسال الشحنات إلى فرنسا، حيث يجري إعادة تغويزها وإرسالها عبر الأنابيب إلى ألمانيا.   بعبارة أخرى، ألمانيا ما زالت تعتمد على الغاز الروسي حتى يومنا هذا. تقوم ثلاث دول أوروبية في الاتحاد الأوربي باستيراد الغاز المسال الروسي، وهي فرنسا وإسبانيا وبلجيكا، وترفض هذه الدول كل محاولات الاتحاد الأوروبي حظر استيراد الغاز المسال الروسي. المثير في الأمر أن هذه الدول تستورد الغاز الروسي نيابة عن دول أخرى. فأوروبا موصولة بشبكة عنكبوتية من أنابيب الغاز، وبمجرد وضع الغاز في أنابيب دولة ما، يمكن أن يذهب إلى أية دولة. عندما رفضت أوكرانيا تجديد عقد مرور الغاز في أنابيب عبر أراضيها إلى أوروبا بضغوط أميركية - أوروبية، حصل عجز في إمدادات الغاز في أوكرانيا التي كانت تحصل على جزء من الغاز الروسي. حصلت أوكرانيا على الغاز الأميركي عن طريق شحن الغاز المسال الأميركي إلى موانئ يونانية، وجرى إعادة تغويزه هناك، ثم إرساله عبر شبكة معقدة من الأنابيب إلى أوكرانيا. الغاز المسال والبحر الأحمر أقرت مجموعة السبع والاتحاد الأوروبي حظراً على استيراد النفط الخام الروسي والمنتجات النفطية، ولكنها لم تحظر الغاز على الإطلاق. إلا أن بعض الدول توقفت عن شراء الغاز الروسي، بينما أوقفت روسيا الضخ إلى دول أخرى. نتيجة لذلك، جرى تصريف الغاز الروسي عن طريق بناء أنابيب على الصين، والتوسع في صادرات الغاز المسال. الحظر على النفط الروسي جعل روسيا تصدر النفط إلى آسيا عبر البحر الأحمر حيث تضاعفت الشحنات أكثر من 10 مرات، كما بدأت بشحن الغاز المسال إلى آسيا أيضاً. روسيا ليس لديها أية مشكلات مع الحوثيين، لذلك تمر شحنات نفط الأورال والقطبي الروسي عبر البحر الأحمر ومن باب المندب من دون أية مشكلات. إذا لم يكن هناك أية مشكلات بين روسيا والحوثيين، لماذا يمر النفط الروسي من البحر الأحمر ولا يمر الغاز المسال الروسي؟ شحنات الغاز المسال الروسي تخرج من الدائرة القطبية شمال روسيا، تدور حول أوروبا الشمالية ثم تذهب جنوباً وتدور حول أفريقيا لتذهب إلى آسيا. ولماذا لا تمر في البحر الأحمر؟ الأمر نفسه ينطبق على الغاز المسال القطري. قطر ليس لديها مشكلة مع الحوثيين، لماذا تدور حاملات الغاز المسال القطرية حول أفريقيا ولا تذهب عبر البحر الأحمر إلى أوروبا؟ لأنها حرب الغاز بين الولايات المتحدة وروسيا. ولكن الحرب لا تقتصر على الغاز المسال الروسي، الضجة الإعلامية التي رافقت الحرب الإسرائيلية - الإيرانية بأن طهران ستغلق مضيق هرمز لم تكن عادية على الإطلاق. كانت رسالة للدول الآسيوية أن الغاز المسال من قطر والإمارات، حيث أكبر التوسعات في العالم تحصل فيهما، "غير آمن"، لذلك يجب توقيع عقود مع الشركات الأميركية لضمان الإمدادات.   المعبر الشمالي فرضت الولايات المتحدة حظراً على محطة أركتيك إل إن جي 2، كما فرضت حظراً على عدد من نقالات الغاز المسال وكاسحات الجليد الروسية. هذا الحظر، ظاهره على أنه متعلق بأوكرانيا ولكنه لاعلاقة له بكييف على الإطلاق. هو قرار استراتيجي مستقل متعلق بـ"حرب الغاز" بين الدولتين، وهذا واضح من فرض الولايات المتحدة حظراً على شركات حلفائها الذي يشاركون في بناء المحطة، وعلى تصدير التقنية لها، وحظرت كل ما يتعلق بشحن الغاز منها. السبب هو الممر الشمالي! حالياً توجد ثلاث سفن محملة بالغاز المسال الروسي من محطة يمال، القريبة من محطة أركتيك إل إن جي 2، تعبر الممر الشمالي إلى آسيا، كما أوضحت منصة الطاقة المتخصصة في تقرير لها منشور أخيراً. الممر الشمالي متجمد غالب العام ولكن يذوب الجليد أو يصبح خفيفاً في فصل الصيف، ومن ثم يمكن استخدام كاسحات الجليد ووراءها حاملات الغاز المسال.   الطريق إلى آسيا أقصر بكثير من العبور عبر البحر الأحمر، لهذا يعد الممر الشمالي خطراً على قناة السويس. إلا أن أكبر خطر هو على الولايات المتحدة، لأن المسافة إلى آسيا أقصر بكثير من المسافة بين الولايات المتحدة إلى آسيا. مشروع أركتيك إل إن جي 2 مرتبط بنوع مهم من التقنية: للمرة الأولى طورت روسيا حاملات غاز مسال هي نفسها كاسحات جليد، ومن ثم تخفض التكاليف بصورة كبيرة. لهذا تحارب الولايات المتحدة هذا المشروع، لأنها لا يمكن أن تنافس روسيا في أسواق الغاز المسال الآسيوية. بعبارة أخرى، المسافة أقصر، والتكاليف أقل لعدم الحاجة إلى كاسحات جليد ترافق حاملات الغاز المسال، وإذا جرى فرض ضريبة كربون على الوقود المستخدم في السفن، فإن التكاليف الروسية ستكون أقل لقصر المسافة. إنها حروب الغاز يا عزيزي. رابط المقال: independentarabia.com/node/6…

This is why the USMCA is toast come July 1st. Canada is a corrupt country that cheats. Can’t wait for the ON auto industry to be destroyed. Just in time for AB independence vote. No way Albertans can carry ON and Quebec in equalization.

20 U.S. Democrat Senators are asking U.S. Trade Rep. Jamieson Greer to structurally get a lot tougher on the trade review & directly close the USMCA loophole that permits Canada to use China as the manufacturing center of their component goods. Canada has purposefully & intentionally aligned itself with Chinese industrial manufacturing because Canada's rules & regulations on climate change & carbon compliance restrict their own industrial manufacturing systems. @TheLastRefuge2

That’s not even close to the whole story. For most of us, one, two, three, or even ten pipelines changes nothing. When oil crashed in 2014, the industry had tens of thousands of layoffs. The province was hurting but there were signs of hope: Northern Gateway, Energy East, and TMX. Northern Gateway had its approval cancelled by Trudeau. Energy East was cancelled because Ottawa wanted to count upstream and downstream emissions, which put the project on shaky ground. But the coup de grace came when Québec’s prime minister at the time, François Legault said that there was “no social acceptability for a pipeline.” TC cancelled it shortly after. Finally, we fought over TMX because Ottawa wouldn’t assert its jurisdiction. Trudeau let Horgan and BC make it so risky to try to build TMX that Kinder Morgan had to pull out. Nobody wanted the federal government to buy the pipeline, they should have simply enforced the conditions to ensure it was safe for Kinder Morgan to proceed. Albertans had stayed quiet for a long time over equalization because Ottawa was staying out of our faces, so it was just the price to pay to operate in this country. But when came time to help Alberta after the oil crash, the whole nation turned its back on us and proceeded to crush the three beacons of hope we were counting on to turn the corner. That’s when a lot of us started paying closer attention to politics to figure out how to get our voices heard. It didn’t take very long before we started looking at seats in the House of Commons and the Senate and realizing how unequal and unfair our representation is in Ottawa. Bottom line is that we’re effectively screwed and that the people we subsidize through equalization continuously vote for governments that attack our industry. Fixing the constitutional mess is impossible because it would require either Ontario or Québec and all the maritime provinces to vote in favour of curtailing their own political power. It will never happen. In 2019, we figured that Canada was going to be smart enough to realize that Trudeau was a disaster and we’d get back some common sense. Wrong. Trudeau was voted in for a second time. If you were in the oil and gas industry at the time, you probably had your first taste of western alienation with the Wexit movement instantly polling above 30% in support of independence. Next up is covid and that’s when all hell broke loose with the spending, the OIC to prohibit common guns, etc. Albertans’ living standards were the most impacted by Trudeau and now Carney’s insane deficit spending. We watched as Trudeau pranced around on the world stage, virtue-signalling with our money while the cost of living was sky rocketing. In FY 2024-2025, we watched the Liberals send $13B abroad between gender equality and climate change foreign aid, while running a $36.3B deficit. We had one last hope with Pierre looking like he was going to get elected and stop the bleeding. But they parachuted Carney in and the rest is history. The country’s finances are in shambles and it would take 3 generations to fix this mess if we started today by doing the obvious, which Ottawa is still refusing to do. Ottawa is fiscally irresponsible and now headed down a very dangerous path of authoritarianism with all the bills that were passed in this parliamentary session. Alberta independence supporters see the writing on the wall and don’t care about any number of pipelines. Once you’ve looked close enough at the system, you realize it can’t be fixed and there’s no coming back from realizing the true extent of the mess Canada is in. The Canada we grew up in doesn’t exist anymore. It is a sinking ship and independence is the only way to save Alberta.

This is how the Canadian system works: Canada dumps raw materials into the USA market (steel, aluminum, softwood lumber), then skips the manufacturing part (dirty jobs) because they are not climate friendly, then imports manufactured component parts from China and elsewhere, then assembles the components and then tries to find markets for their finished goods, usually in the USA. President Trump has worked to stop the “dumping part” by placing tariffs on the Canadian raw materials (Steel, Aluminum, Softwood Lumber), in order to generate our own industrial sectors of mining, logging, steel and aluminum works. This tariff block creates a situation where Canada needs to find other outlets for their raw material dumping….. which them becomes funny because Europe has already rejected them (same reason as Trump) and China doesn’t need them. As a consequence, Canada has no choice except to try and force the USA to accept the dumping by lobbying Democrats and various business interests like the Chamber of Commerce to put political pressure on President Donald Trump.   So far, their approach not only isn’t working – but it’s also insulting. Here's a thread of more details behind the backstory.👇
1. Dear @jkenney, to understand President Trump’s position on Canada, you have to go back to the 2016 election and President Trump’s position on the NAFTA renegotiation.  If you did not follow the subsequent USMCA process, this might be the ah-ha moment you need to understand Trump’s strategy. 🧵 begins....

Imagine having a political leader seriously suggesting we abandon trade with the largest economy in the world--our closest neighbour, lowest-cost partner, and biggest customer. Canada sends ~75% of its exports to the U.S. For Alberta it's closer to ~85–90%. That’s not a minor relationship you can “pivot” away from overnight--it’s the backbone of our economy. You don’t strengthen a country by picking fights with your primary customer. You don’t create jobs by making it harder to sell what we produce. Albertans understand this. We rely on access to U.S. markets, and we have no interest in reckless strategies that gamble with our livelihoods. Strong countries don’t act out of impulse. They act in their economic self-interest. That’s what an independent Alberta will do. Vote yes on Oct. 19. #AlbertaIndependence

Democracy Is Already Dead in Canada: Alberta’s Independence Referendum Just Proved It Yesterday, April 10, 2026, Justice Shaina Leonard of Alberta’s Court of King’s Bench handed down a one-month stay on the Stay Free Alberta petition. Signature collection continues until May 2, but Elections Alberta is now barred from certifying those signatures or referring the matter to Justice Minister Mickey Amery. The reason? First Nations groups like Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation and others claim the very act of asking Albertans a democratic question somehow violates treaty rights. This isn’t law. This is lawfare; the weaponization of the courts to strangle the will of the people before it can even be counted. And it exposes the rotting core of Canadian “democracy”: when the results might threaten the Laurentian elite’s grip, the rules change overnight. This is how it has always been between Canada and Alberta. For decades we have been the golden goose bled dry for equalization cheques that fund bike lanes in Halifax and universities in Montréal while our energy sector is shackled by industrial carbon taxes, rejected pipelines, and federal “net-zero” fantasies that ignore physics and economics. The National Energy Program in the ‘80s was just the overt chapter of a longer story: Ottawa extracts our wealth, regulates our prosperity into the ground, then lectures us about “national unity” when we dare complain. Every time Alberta pushes back; whether on resource revenue, equalization formulas, or Senate reform—the answer is the same: courts, regulators, or political sleight-of-hand to keep the tap flowing eastward. The floor-crossers in Ottawa propping up Carney’s Liberals are only the latest symptom. Confederation was always a lopsided deal sold to the West on promises of fairness that were never kept. Alberta didn’t ask to bankroll the federation while being treated like a subordinate colony. We built this land on grit, risk, and resource wealth. Ottawa’s response has been extraction dressed up as solidarity. And that is precisely why yesterday’s ruling is a sea change. This isn’t fringe frustration anymore. Albertans who once believed we could “vote our way out” of this mess; loyal CPC voters, mainstream conservatives, even some who rolled their eyes at sovereignty talk—are now waking up. The petition smashed the 177,000-signature threshold early. The stay isn’t killing momentum; it’s fuel. People see the mask slip: when the democratic machinery threatens the status quo, the machinery is simply turned off. More Albertans than ever are concluding the only way to protect our future is to build a new one. Alberta isn’t “separatist.” We’re exhausted. Exhausted by a federation that takes our resources, mocks our values, and now uses the courts to silence our questions. Yesterday wasn’t a setback. It was confirmation. The roller coaster is just getting started. The petition is still alive. The signatures are still pouring in. And the conversation Albertans are having around kitchen tables, rig sites, and boardrooms has fundamentally shifted: Independence is no longer unthinkable. It’s becoming inevitable. Strap in, Alberta. History doesn’t wait for judicial permission. It is made by people who refuse to stay silent. #AlbertaIndependence

Monte Solberg provided reasons why Alberta should stay in Canada in his article "The Case for Canada". Let's have a look. Reason 1. Alberta has thrived economically inside Canada, not despite it. What federal regulation or tax policy in the last decade plus demonstrates this? Has the following helped Alberta? • Bill C-48 (Oil Tanker Moratorium Act) • Bill C-69 (Impact Assessment Act / Canadian Energy Regulator Act, often called the “No More Pipelines Act”) • Greenhouse Gas Pollution Pricing Act (federal carbon tax / backstop) • Oil and Gas Sector Greenhouse Gas Emissions Cap Regulations • Clean Electricity Regulations (under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act) Reason 2. Trudeau's era was damaging but not typical — he is now gone. Mark Carney was Trudeau's advisor. Different face, same brain running Canada. Continuity of anti-energy policy is the new normal, not an aberration. Reason 3. Federal-provincial cooperation has delivered real benefits. If there's legitimate cooperation, why is the majority of our trade North / South and why does it seem less restrictive than East-West? In the last 11 years it has been one-sided obstruction, not partnership. Past "wins" do not excuse current sabotage of over $500 billion in lost investment. Reason 4. Equalization and taxes aren't grounds to leave — Albertans still pay less in total taxes. Federal tax enslavement is no grounds to stay. Alberta’s massive net contribution ($600 billion in equalization alone) funds other provinces while receiving regulatory punishment in return. Low provincial taxes is a reflection on Alberta, not Canada. If you are going to compare federal taxes, you compare it to our closest neighbour, America, where they have lower income tax rates and zero sales tax. Reason 5. Unity brings strength, especially against external threats. Unity has delivered weakness on pipelines, energy markets, and resource development. External threats only rear their ugly head when the federal government attempts to artificially stimulate or protect industries in central Canada such as dairy, auto, etc which causes retaliatory impacts on Western Canada. Reason 6. Canada offers warmth, decency, shared experiences and national identity. There is nothing warm or decent about DEI. How warm is MAID? What is warm or decent about federal policies that treat Alberta’s core industries as a national problem to be managed or phased out? Reason 7. Alberta succeeds by engaging outward, not retreating into separation. History shows Alberta has limited influence inside Canada. Alberta is structurally underrepresented in the House of Commons and Senate. Distance from Ottawa plus bilingualism requirements restrict Alberta participation in all forms of government roles. Blanket Ottawa-driven federal policies will never prioritize Alberta. To maintain power, federal politicians must cater to Quebec and Ontario. Decentralized governance always has a stronger track record of responsiveness compared to centrslized federal controls. open.substack.com/pub/thelin…
