🇨🇦The Only Light I See🇨🇦
I'm writing this column through an Alberta lens, because that's how I see the world.
Everywhere I look, our institutions seem to despise their own citizens.
The federal government and too many provinces treat us like obstacles to their grand plans, not the people they were elected to serve.
The rot, the debt, the institutional decay, and the ideological capture in Canada are so deep as to render it unsavable, in my opinion.
I watch it all unravel and see the same disturbing patterns repeat.
Everything feels inverted, upside down, and deliberately so.
A certain group cheers for whatever is destructive, chaotic, or vile. It doesn't matter how wrong it is, that's the side they take.
This isn't how the world was before 2015.
The left took power across the Western world and flipped everything on its head, and along with that, basic human decency has largely vanished.
The most bizarre, self destructive nonsense now flows from our institutions, and the change is undeniable.
We are under attack. Its called asymmetric warfare. Its not kinetic, it's a war of the mind, and both can destroy a nation or a society.
That's why I look at Alberta and see something different. We still have the people, definitely the resources, the land, and something even more valuable: retrospect. We can see exactly where the West went wrong. We can build something new, learn from the past, and not repeat those mistakes.
An independent Alberta could hold politicians truly accountable. No more Prime Ministers enacting massive policies by decree, and bypassing parliament entirely. That isn't governance, that's tyranny.
In a free Alberta, that kind of betrayal would end your career and your welcome in the country.
We also need a modernized, updated meaning of the word treason, and the penalties for committing the act.
We have a unique opportunity... RIGHT NOW.
No other place on Earth sits in quite this position, with our wealth, our anger at the status quo, and the clear lessons of what happens when nations lose their way.
We could build something better, something that says no to the madness consuming the West.
The desire to escape this broken system grows stronger every day.
Alberta could be that shining example the world desperately needs, proof that a people can still choose sanity, accountability, and self determination.
We already have the resources and the wealth.
Wealth is a dirty word to some, but wealth equals health, including mentally, physically, economically, and even environmentally.
Wealthy nations will lead the world toward a greener future. Canada however is on the path of virtue signaling itself into poverty, which will send our brain trust to the United States, where they will build the future, much to the dismay of those who claim to hate them.
But Alberta wants to, and can play a part. We can displace dirty energy with our oil and gas, while simultaneously becoming fabulously wealthy.
What we must recognize is that we can't simply plant a flag and declare ourselves a new republic.
Change starts from the foundation up, and that foundation is the education of our youth, because a future republic can only survive through the education, knowledge, and decency of its citizens.
The aforementioned wealth could also be used to provide tax incentives and rewards for the people of this new nation to have children, thus strengthening our foundations.
It all seems quite simple and circular to me.
We begin there.
In twenty-five years, after raising a generation taught love, self-respect, respect for others, patriotism, civics, personal responsibility, critical thinking, work ethic, self-reliance, financial literacy, respect for the rule of law, and the courage to speak truth even when it's unpopular, we won't just be a new country...
We'll be an entirely new world.
We could lead with sanity. We could set the example and Pied Piper the Western world right out of this mess.
Lets not miss this chance Alberta.
