Canada is a failed state

Dunno how much this matters, but there's this person who's helped out with Alberta's Fiscal Plan if it becomes independent and these posts kinda concern me.

Naming the country's currency after an expletive-laden meme likely wouldn't age well, but neither would be having one of the nation's main economic cornerstones being crypto of all things. It just looks super weird to me. Maybe I'm just dooming?

Alberta can literally back their currency with oil.

B.C. camper heard yelling in the woods not in distress, just singing Nickelback​

Nothing like a good, old-fashioned Nickel-backcountry singalong to launch search and rescue crews into action.

On Thursday evening, the Central Okanagan Search and Rescue crew were out training when they received reports of someone yelling for help near the Boulderfields, a climbing spot near the Kettle Valley Railway.

Two hikers had contacted 911 after hearing what sounded like “repeated cries.” The crew immediately switched from training to rescue mode, activating its drone team along with two RCMP officers.

The first members of the crew who arrived at the Boulderfields could hear “faint yelling – but couldn’t make out what was being said,” according to a post online by the search team.

The crew had split into two teams and was prepping to search the woods and the forest roads when team members found the source of the yelling: A man camping alone who had been belting out Nickelback’s greatest hits.

The camper was “singing his heart out to the trees, blissfully unaware that the acoustics of the Boulderfields had turned his tent-side concert into an accidental distress signal,” according to the team.

“He wasn’t in trouble,” said search manager Duane Tresnich. “Unless you count his singing.”

The team thanked the hikers who called it in, adding that while Thursday evening’s incident turned out to be nothing more than a camper in need of singing lessons, “it could have been serious.”

“And remember, our services are always free. And the money you save could be spent on singing lessons.”

Citizen group begins petition to keep Alberta part of Canada
1754260465793.webp

A new citizen-led group in Alberta spent the first day of their long weekend asking residents of Old Strathcona, “Do you agree that Alberta should remain in Canada?”

The group known as Forever Canadian gathered on Saturday to begin collecting signatures of legal Alberta voters who are against the separation of the province from Canada.

The ultimate goal of the petition is to urge the provincial government to include anti-separatism considerations in policy.

“Albertans are proud Canadians,” said John Lobe, who was out canvassing on Saturday. “The moment we originated [Forever Canadian], we literally were receiving hundreds of emails per day.”

Separatist sentiment emerged largely after the federal election in 2025. The Alberta Prosperity Project applied to put the question of whether or not Alberta should secede from Canada on the ballot.

As of Wednesday, chief electoral officer Gordon McClure has referred Alberta Prosperity Project’s application to a judge to see if it contravenes the Constitution.

Forever Canadian’s movement began when former Progressive Conservative Deputy Premier Thomas Lukaszuk applied with Elections Alberta to gather signatures across the province for a formal petition in response to the separatist movement.

Elections Alberta granted Lukaszuk’s request on Wednesday. The petition will run until Oct. 28. The group has three months to collect almost 300,000 signatures.

At the canvassing event on Saturday, a small group of dissenters with a banner that read, “Alberta Sovereignty Now!” sat across from people signing Forever Canadian’s petition.

“This is 100 per cent a foil to the loud and brash anti-separatist group. They do not speak for most Albertans,” Lukaszuk said in a release.

“This petition is an opportunity to prove that.”

Lukaszuk told CTV News Edmonton on Saturday that he was happy to see a turnout from “all political stripes.”

“This is not about politics. We may differ on policies and we can squabble over things, but when it comes to being proud of being Canadian, we’re all on the same team,” he said.

The petition requires 10 per cent of the total number of all eligible voters in the post-election day list of electors from the 2023 provincial election. That’s 293,967 signatures needed to present the petition to the legislature.

Lobe said the first day of canvassing has bolstered his faith in the movement.

“Premier Smith will have a decision to make. She either adopts this as a government overarching policy and does away with any separatist talk and gets rid of legislation like a Sovereignty Act, or she brings it to a referendum,” he said.

“And Albertans will tell her to stop this nonsense about separation.”

Meanwhile, Reddit is shocked and infuriated by the idea of Alberta separating from this shithole. Because they always have to be the opposing voice to reason no matter what.

Everything I don't agree with is RUSSIAN PROPAGANDA.

I suppose we need to have some sympathy, and acknowledge that it is quite difficult to understand Alberta's reason for leaving if you aren't aware of the bigger picture. That is, if you remain willfully ignorant of all the other issues plaguing Canada in favour of ranting about Orange Man, and that's always what Reddit does best!

The main goal of the Canadian government is to only address problems the Canadian people don't give a flying fuck about. That and helping India take over the country.

I never understood where the "canadians are so nice" came from. Like sure, there are nice people here, but not more than anywhere else. If anything I find that places like Vancouver and Toronto are full of some of the most mean spirited and toxic people I have ever had the displeasure of meeting.

Kind of a bizarre thing for me to post now, but If you're a woman (or effeminate man) you can become a micro blader or a lash tech in less than a year. It's almost a recession proof profession and you can make over 400 dollars per day in a good week. EO with cover the cost of the course of anyone is interested. Microblading especially can make you good money and it's a very popular beauty service.
