Getting rid of them will be just as costly in lives and treasure... as it was last time. Spain was saved by Isabella of Aragon with the help of The Duke Ferdinand ll, the man she married for his armies, his influence, to align their Kingdoms as the Bulwark of the Christian World, and demonstrate her uncanny Vision to her allies across Europe that resulted in a Crusade to save Spain... Her Crusade, though not called such, began with the Liberation of Grenada and ended with the Siege of Vienna...and then the rest of Southern Europe, Her actions announced the end of the Elizabethan age...the end of the Age of Romance, and led directly to the Renaissance...and us...for she personally inspired both peasant and Emperor. even was a darling of the Church...though they tried not to show it... Learn about her...for she was Lady of rare courage...the rarest of resolve...and the sheer audacity to believe she could free the Christian World from the Ottoman Empire...and end 800 years of brutal occupation and horror... And she carried her Power...her Grace...and her Faith...with a regal calm...quiet and soft-spoken she was...but when the spoke in her clipped way... The very foundations of History shivered in anticipation. And she became one of the greatest Justiciars in all of Human History... And though she never carried a sword...the Greatest Captains of Men of their Age counted her as one among them...including the world famous Gonzalo Fernández de Córdoba, "The Great Capitan"...He loved her, I think... a Lady...worthy of History...a Faithful Queen...who with her own hand...and heart, Saved Christendom...the Reconquista... just yesterday... She was...and forever is...Queen Isabella the First, of Castile...and was beloved by Her People. say her name to yourself... and imagine...

"We are dealing with the world, as it is, not how we wish it to be." ...Savvy, street smart, globally aware...educated... In Alberta we call it... " Seein' the obvious"...be like an Albertan...

YOU WILL drive gas-powered trucks YOU WILL own the guns Ottawa hates YOU WILL eat Alberta beef YOU WILL afford a home YOU WILL prosper YOU WILL live free YOU WILL defy the globalists YOU WILL support Alberta independence

Am I alone in feeling like a communist takeover is happening in Canada??

Carney is fast-tracking a new deep-water port at Grays Bay and a 230 km all-season road connecting it to the Chinese-owned Izok Lake mine. This would give China direct access to the Northwest Passage and a direct shipping route back to China. The Izok Lake deposit is 15 million metric tonnes of resources: 13% zinc and 2.3% copper, plus about 1.4% lead and 73 g/t silver. Carney wants to use Canadian tax dollars to let China steal our resources. How did China get this deal?

💯

You seeing this Alberta?

🚨HOLY F'K Canadian foreign affairs Minister Champagne and Bank of Canada Governor Tiff Macklem are in China and they just SIGNED a "global financial governance agreement" with the Chinese Communist Party! Document in comments.

As an Iranian watching this rescue mission unfold, I was praying the American pilot would make it out alive, not just for him, but so the Islamic Republic could not use him as a bargaining chip or claim some twisted “victory.” At the same time, I felt a deep envy. Your government sent elite special forces, million-dollar aircraft, and moved heaven and earth to bring one American home. No hesitation. No excuses. In Iran, the regime uses human shields and recruited child soldiers to clear minefields during the Iran-Iraq war. They treat their own people like disposable tools. They are now recruiting child soldiers as we speak. The Islamic Republic has zero regard for human life. That’s the brutal difference. One side risks everything to save their own. The other sacrifices their own to stay in power. This hits hard when you have lived under both realities.

A software systems engineer’s take on AI, relayed by his wife: The models were giving conservative answers. Not because anyone programmed them to. Because that’s where the data pointed. So the companies stepped in. They built program controls — RLHF filters, alignment layers, safety tuning — specifically designed to override the outputs. To steer the answers left. To stop the models from giving conservative answers. Grok exists because Musk refused to add those controls. The left spent a decade claiming the smart people were on their side. Then they built the smartest thing in human history. And had to reprogram it.

@GenFlynn General...well and good...getting the bad guys, etc. When will the stolen wealth be repatriated back to the treasuries of The People?

I want to see more of this!

💥REPORT: On April 02, 2026, an armed indigenous man robbed a bar for a bottle of liquor and beer—then threatened to shoot his accomplice because he wouldn't get the cash out of the register. 📍Ponoka, Alberta

MEXICO JUST KILLED CASH Mexican Cartel President Sheinbaum just announced, “NO MORE CASH” at gas stations or toll booths. Digital payments are MANDATORY by end of 2026. This is a digital prison test run. The World Economic Forum’s Great Reset is here.

t.co/2MVl4rfjz5 A senior Ayatollah in Iran has issued a clear Islamic ruling: Anyone who says they are not a Muslim must be beheaded. His exact words: “We will kill you, and we will kill you good.” This is straight from the highest religious authority of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Question: Is it “Islamophobic” to simply share their own words? Let the world hear it.

One of the more interesting conversations I had in Red Deer was with a woman who said she felt alienated from the Canadian project as far back as when the Canadian flag was officially changed to be a maple leaf. She remembered the maple leaf being presented as this obvious, natural symbol of Canada, and her reaction was basically: what does this have to do with me? That stuck with me because it gets at something deeper than a flag. For a lot of people in the West, the complaint is not just that Ottawa makes bad decisions. It is that the entire symbolic and political center of the country has always acted as though its own regional experience is the default Canadian experience, and everyone else is expected to see themselves in it. That is the real issue. The maple leaf is treated as if it is some neutral, universal symbol that rises above region. But to many Westerners, it can feel like yet another example of central Canada taking something rooted in its own historical world and presenting it as the natural identity of the whole country. Not because it truly reflects everyone, but because the people who dominate the institutions of the country are so used to seeing themselves as Canada that they do not even notice the difference. That is what people mean when they talk about the Laurentian mindset. It is the assumption that the economic, cultural, and political core around the St. Lawrence corridor is not just one part of the country, but the part that defines the whole. Its symbols become national symbols. Its priorities become national priorities. Its media becomes national media. Its political class speaks as though it is the center of legitimacy, while the rest of the country is expected to adapt, supply, comply, and keep the whole thing running. And the West has felt that for generations. We send wealth. We send resources. We send tax revenue. We help sustain the country. Yet when we object, we are often treated less like equal partners and more like a region that is supposed to fall in line. That is why so many Westerners use the word colony. Not because it is just a catchy insult, but because it captures the feeling of being governed, extracted from, and morally lectured by people who do not understand us and do not think they need to. That is why a conversation about the maple leaf can actually be a conversation about power. Symbols are never just symbols. They tell you who sees themselves at the center. They tell you whose history is assumed to be universal. They tell you who is expected to identify with a story they did not write. And for many Albertans, that is the deeper frustration with Canada. It is not only about one policy, one prime minister, or one bad decade. It is the feeling that the country was built around a mindset that never really saw the West as an equal civilization with its own interests, identity, and right to self-determination. We were expected to contribute, but not define. To obey, but not lead. To belong, but only on terms set somewhere else. That is why these conversations matter. When someone says the maple leaf never felt like their symbol, they are not just talking about a piece of cloth. They are talking about a lifetime of feeling that the national story was written by other people, about other people, for the benefit of other people, and then handed to the rest of us as if we should be grateful. The West is tired of being treated like a colony. And more Albertans are starting to say it out loud.

Here is a one-line summary of each of Tristin's 8 points: Housing crisis: Canada pioneered turning entire cities into over-leveraged real estate bubbles, driving home ownership out of reach for ordinary people because prices detached from wages. Crime and justice: Soft-on-crime policies, catch-and-release bail, and activist courts created a revolving door for repeat offenders, leaving our streets unsafe. Harm reduction & drugs: "Safe supply" and decriminalization experiments escalated addiction and public drug use, worsening overdoses, tent cities, and societal harm instead of reducing it. Euthanasia (MAiD): Canada rapidly expanded medical assistance in dying into one of the world's most aggressive programs, with soaring death numbers and cases pushing it as a tratement for poverty and disability. Healthcare system: Despite high spending, Canada's "free" system ranks near the bottom in performance among developed nations, with deadly wait times and dysfunction. Transgender policies: Canada went further than most countries with permissive rules on youth transitions, pronouns, biological males in female spaces, and related ideology in schools and institutions. Identity politics and "anti-racism": Canada outdid even the U.S. in embracing divisive oppressed frameworks, including declaring itself guilty of an ongoing "genocide" against Indigenous people with little accountability. Censorship and speech laws: Expansive hate speech rules, online content takedowns, and bills like the Online Harms Act pushed Canada toward Orwellian restrictions, chilling expression and drawing international warnings. Canada took progressive ideas further and faster than peers, almost always with cascading negative consequences, turning a once-stable nation into a totally dysfunctional one. He's right in saying that Danielle Smith is the only one finally acknowledging that things aren't working, and is trying to reverse some of these pad idea. It's still not enough to save Alberta, we need to divorce ourselves from the rest of Canada and their bad ideas.

Gen. Patton on profanity: “When I want my men to remember something important, to really make it stick, I give it to them double dirty. It may not sound nice to some bunch of little old ladies at an afternoon tea party, but it helps my soldiers to remember. You can’t run an army without profanity; and it has to be eloquent profanity. An army without profanity couldn’t fight its way out of a piss-soaked paper bag.”

@Nittynite Well said. Well met, Patriot.

Canada will never grant Alberta meaningful electoral reform, and the other provinces will never agree to end equalization transfer payments. Central and Eastern Canada benefit far too much from Alberta's resources and economy. From its very founding, Confederation was never structured to let Alberta truly prosper on its own terms. Any Albertan who still believes we'll ever get a fair deal from Ottawa is sadly deluded or brainwashed by the status quo. The only realistic path forward is independence. It doesn't matter which political side you're on, Alberta loses either way under the current system. Educate yourself on what Alberta independence would actually mean. Do your homework before the October 19, 2026 referendum.

Pierre's own riding (Battle River-Crowfoot) is 70% pro-independence among Conservative voters. He hasn't lived in Alberta for 30 years. Only comes back to pretend he's Albertan to get elected. Completely out of touch with Alberta grassroots. stayfreealberta.com/how-and-where-… #Ableg
