Canadian Housing Quantum Scientist

I don’t understand how there can be conservatives in Canada who are not at least thinking about moving to Alberta.

Back in 2021 Montréal was 47% White under age 25

Which demographics of Canadians are leaving Canada? >67% of the are 20-44 year olds. >3x more likely to be in Sciences than avg population. >31.1% have a masters degree. >61.4% left to the US. In other words, it's Canada's youngest, most talented and educated population.

There's a very fundamental piece of Game Theory / political economy that explains almost everything about conflict in contemporary Western society but very few people actually know about it: Old Money vs New Money All human societies since the dawn of agriculture have had elites; it is basically inescapable. But there are different kinds of elites, in particular those tied to Old Money and those tied to New Money. An Old Money elite is someone whose wealth and power were created long ago - outside of living memory - and therefore they couldn't recreate it from scratch today. New Money elites are people who are themselves wealth creators or at least have a living family member who is. They are immediate sources of wealth in the here and now. Since elites are really the only truly capable actors, everything that happens on purpose happens because some elite group somewhere wants it. Plebs are mostly just along for the ride. But Old Money and New Money are caught in a rivalry because they have different incentives. - Old Money has power but that power is vulnerable to disruption by either competition from New Money or by a revolution - New Money has power but that power is limited by the attacks that old money can mount, especially sinecures/anti-meritocracy and high taxes Old Money basically wants a stagnant society that never innovates, and it wants society to be fractured and weak so that coordination for a rebellion is hard. It wants taxes on income and legible wealth like stocks to be high, and it is frightened of a truly meritocratic system because it knows that merit is a threat to it (Old Money has less actual merit because it is many generations away from actual cutting edge competence). New Money wants an innovative, low taxation, meritocratic society so that it can maximize the gains from its superior competence. It is less frightened of rebellions because any rebels have a very strong incentive to ally with the New Money because the New Money has competence and is therefore instrumentally useful for any new regime. In contrast, rebels see Old Money as a pure parasite that is hoarding wealth and contributing nothing, ripe for robbery and exile or death. Old Money has an incentive to bring in a bioleninist foreign mercenary enforcer class because old money has a loyalty problem in the native population (natives see old money as parasitic). Old money likes things like LGBT as well, because LGBT is another form of mercenary enforcer class - this time deviant natives rather than foreigners, but again loyal for bioleninist reasons (nobody really likes sexual deviants, so they are inherently more loyal to a regime that they depend on). Old money is also paradoxically in favor of high taxes and generous benefits for the lower class. This may seem strange since the old money will have to foot some of this bill themselves, but because they have more wealth and less income they are much less affected by taxation than the new money are, who have lots of real business income and less wealth and passive income. High taxation and generous welfare sabotages the new money (competitors) and so puts the old money ahead on net. Once you see this fundamental strategic divide between the interests of old and new money it's like that scene where Neo sees the matrix. You see King Charles inviting a bunch of browns and blacks to his coronation. You see Enoch Powell being expelled from the conservative party. You see Soros releasing violent criminals from prison. You see practicing muslim pakistanis telling people that they are just as English as Harry Potter. It all starts to make sense. Mass immigration, DEI and progressivism are all just Old Money regime security strategies. The Old Regime will try to reshape the whole of society and even commit the largest genocide in the history of the world to ensure its own survival. It will destroy the economy of an entire continent if it has to - that is what is happening to Europe and The Anglosphere. Then you see the people who fight back - Trump, Theil, Musk. All new money.

You aren’t wrong Marty. We have to get on top of the immigration issue as we can’t afford to be catching up like this all the time. Building infrastructure and core services for 600,000 new people over 4 years is insanely expensive. I hope Albertans give the government an overwhelming mandate to do address this in the fall referendum. In the meantime the government is starting the work to implement that mandate should it be given.
