the “Free Alberta Strategy” document that is considered the intellectual basis for Separation leaves out 75% of the economy and 94%of the workforce.

I’ve written an evidence-based report that explores the claims being made in the Free Alberta report, and found that none of the report’s conclusions are justified by the facts they present. The report is essentially non sequitur after non sequitur #alberta #Canada

Mark Carney’s Confidence Fairy Won’t Help the Canadian Economy: Here’s What Will Confidence was never the missing ingredient. What's missing from all these models are energy, land, private debt, and real estate. When you do include Energy, Private Debt, and Real Estate, the picture changes entirely.

The C.D. Howe Institute’s “Big Bang” for Taxes Went Off 30 Years Ago. It Was a Bust. If, in Canada, your economic models don’t include oil, energy, finance, insurance or real estate, what do you even have left to describe?

I've argued this for more than a year, but a new paper from the IMF confirms what I've been saying - the benefits are baked into the math being used - because real data is not being measured at all. #economy #canada #freetrade

Canada Is Heading for an Economic Crash. Here's How Carney, the Premiers and the Bank of Canada Are Making It Worse.

“There is no legitimate case for Alberta separation: the reason this is happening is that there is genuine economic suffering that has been ignored, and that by ideology, the Alberta government is opposed to addressing.@

Canadian authorities are predicting that Canada will be fine, because the massive profits will be a net gain for the economy. The oil industry's gains will not make up for Canadians' real losses - and the shocks to systems that can break them. #canada #150bbloil #elbowsup

In 2014, Saudi Arabia started a price war that dropped oil by 70%. In 2022, Canada's oil industry had record profits - with fewer workers because of automation. These were both "historic" events. Albertans have been hurt, but it wasn't other Canadians who did it. It was OPEC.

it is very simple folks. "unqualified DEI hire" is when you're not a white male, "merit-based promotion" is when you are a white male and also pete hegseth's personal assistant. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/01/u...

There are massive shortages of doctors, nurses and health professionals because the provinces won’t pay to train them or hire them. It doesn’t take AI to figure that out.

There's an old expression - "Agent provocateur" all in an age when it's people have never been more provokable. These methods are certainly being used in Canada to sow division, outrage and resentment. youtube.com/shorts/Yd6rZ...

This is a national emergency that requires an all-of-government response and a plan of action. The Government of Canada needs to Declare a Critical Supply Emergency, now. @mark-carney.bsky.social

Canadians needs a wartime-level response to this crisis. In addition to the hostility of bad actors from other countries, our former ally the U.S. has turned on us and is effectively using tariffs as sanctions in an act of financial warfare to undermine the Canada’s economy. #elbowsup #canadastrong

Canada wastes enormous volumes of methane every year — flaring it at LNG terminals, venting it from landfills, draining it from coal mines, and venting from thousands of inactive wells. This methane could be converted into two high-value products: turquoise hydrogen and solid carbon materials

Yikes. Canada's healthcare system is really vulnerable to high oil prices & shortages. Check out the measures @dougaldlamont.bsky.social states govts & health systems should take to adapt. Makes a lot of sense to me. #CanadaHealthcare -

Renewing Canada’s passenger rail system would do everything the best kinds of government investments achieve: lowering costs for people and business, reducing the impact on the environment, while creating jobs and new opportunities, while govern for the benefit of the whole country.

Manitoba’s food system faces a $600–900M annual cost shock at $200/bbl through fertilizer, diesel for farm equipment, food processing energy, and distribution logistics. Without rapid intervention:

Manitoba still has a lot of shortline railways that could be turned into passenger rail that could also transport vehicles. Save the driving and travel with your car.

This effectively allows for the targeting of individuals by cross-referencing them across databases, sharing that information with a separatist group that is being backed by bad actors in the U.S. and elsewhere. Treasonous? Perhaps not, but certainly treason-ish.

$200/barrel oil is completely possible. It would ravage Canada's health care system. It's not just fuel : it's shortages of supplies (gloves, gowns) and pharmaceuticals from insulin to cancer treatment, and provinces with broken budgets.

I’m not talking about empty values or propaganda. I am talking about the fiscal policies of every party. Carney, the PCs and the NDP are all cutting. The NDP in Manitoba kept the budget of the PC government. Do your homework.

When it comes to economic policies, every single party, including the NDP, Liberals, and the PCs believe in, and enforce, punitive right wing economics from the 1970s that make social democracy impossible.

In 2023, Australian real estate CEO Tim Gurner explained the actual purpose of austerity, which is to deliberately hurt the economy to drive down wages and ensure better returns at the top. It’s not the free market. Every government in Canada is doing this right now.
