As Canada’s new Prime Minister jets off to Davos to clink glasses with his fellow globalists at the World Economic Forum, back home, tens of thousands of Albertans—particularly Gen Zers—are lining up in the freezing cold to vote their province out of the country. The lines are astonishing, with thousands gathering at high school gyms and community centers across Alberta, united by a single message: "We're done; we’re leaving; and Canada will never be the same!".
- Alberta is experiencing massive turnout for a secession referendum.
- Independence referendums historically draw high voter participation.
- Canadian property rights and Indigenous claims are at the heart of the crisis.
How did the world's poster child for multiculturalism go from "sorry" to secession in just eighteen months? The answer lies in something darker than anyone wants to admit. What began as progressive virtue signaling has spiraled into a constitutional crisis threatening to break apart an entire nation.
This is Okotoks, Alberta, a small town just south of Calgary. It’s minus ten Celsius, eleven degrees Fahrenheit, and hundreds are streaming into a community center to sign a single petition. A young couple explains why they drove here with their kids. Along with thousands of other Albertans, they are signing a referendum that asks: "Do you agree that the province of Alberta should cease to be a part of Canada to become an independent state?" They have until May 2nd to collect 177,000 signatures, and judging by the lines, they'll hit that number easily.
In Red Deer, Central Alberta, the wait to sign is often over an hour. Reports show referendum locations across the province drawing between 1,700 and 4,000 people each. But what about Edmonton, the traditionally liberal capital city? Aerial footage from Rundle Park in northeast Edmonton shows thousands showing up to sign the referendum petition.
This is exactly what we predicted based on studies of past independence referendums: nothing draws out the electorate more than independence referendums. More Brits voted for UK independence from the EU than in any British election in history! The 2014 Scottish independence referendum saw an 85% turnout, and the 1995 Quebec sovereignty referendum, similar to Alberta’s case, drew an astonishing 94% turnout—the highest participation rate in Quebec's history. Montenegro's 2006 independence referendum drew an 87% turnout, again unprecedented. This pattern repeats itself: independence referendums bring out voters in droves.
Why is this happening? Why are thousands of Canadians—young people, families, those who've never protested before—lining up to sign their province out of the country? The answer might blow you away. The reason Canada is on the verge of breaking apart isn’t just about pipelines or transfer payments or feeling ignored by Ottawa. It’s about what the Canadian government is doing to the very concept of property ownership. And it’s worse than you think.
Consider the street sign in Vancouver. What does it say? If you have no idea, you’re not alone! The city decided to rename Trutch Street—a name no one can type, let alone pronounce—to a traditional Indigenous word. But this went beyond embarrassment in leftist virtue signaling. Overnight, residents found their banks couldn't process the new name. Insurance forms rejected it, government databases crashed, and essential services went haywire due to the bizarre string of letters and symbols. The state spent over $30,000 in the renaming process, one of the most expensive woke antics ever!

And that was just the beginning as detailed here. In August last year, a British Columbia Supreme Court judge declared that 800 acres of land on Lulu Island, home to an Amazon distribution center and much more, wasn’t owned by the Crown or the city, but by the Cowichan Indigenous tribe. The court ruled that property titles for government-held lands are "defective and invalid." From land acknowledgements, Canada moved to enforcing land returns to Indigenous tribes. The reaction was immediate: banks froze lending, real estate buyers disappeared, and a $100 million construction project lost financing. Hundreds of homeowners suddenly found their properties unsalable.
This is happening all over Canada. Indigenous tribes are stepping forward, suing for land rights. One tribe, the Six Nations, is suing for nearly a million acres. In New Brunswick, an Indigenous claim stretches across roughly half the province. Financial obligations are spiraling out of control. By March 2023, Canada had booked $76 billion in contingent liabilities for resolving Indigenous claims, and that number keeps growing. Between settlement funds, legal costs, and new financial obligations, Ottawa is on track to make Indigenous reparations a top budget line. Mark Carney allocated $9.3 billion to Indigenous affairs in his first budget.
Albertans are watching their government apologize for Canada's founding, declare the land stolen, and spend billions on legal settlements enriching law firms while property owners in Richmond watch their life savings evaporate. It's no wonder they want out! That’s why they’re braving the cold to sign this petition to separate Alberta from the left-wing lunatics in Ottawa!
As the crisis unfolds, it's vital to be prepared for the financial implications that come with such uncertainty. The national debt has skyrocketed in recent years and shows no signs of slowing down. This poses a real threat to Americans' retirement accounts for a multitude of reasons. But you don't have to wait around and hope it gets fixed. You can protect your retirement today.

Learn ways to take control of your financial future even as debt continues to balloon.
Mark Carney can fly to Davos and give all the speeches he wants. But back in Canada, Albertans by the hundreds of thousands are lining up in the cold to vote themselves out of a country that tells them they're the problem. It’s not just Indigenous peoples taking back their land; Albertan patriots are ready to take an entire province as well!
