Glad to hear I am not the only one I do still have hope. There is still alot of strong freedom loving people in this province. I just hope it's not too little too late. Also I have my suspensions that Carney is about as evil and awful as they get.

All that is required to tip the balance of power is 10 percent. We have that. I remember a time when you could stand on the steps of any small town Alberta high school and look into the parking lot and see 5 or 6 shot guns proudly displayed on gun racks in the back of most pick ups. It was a more prosperous and friendly world. The police told us to take our shot guns down and if we ever had a problem that we just phone them and they would deal with it. They can't even remember that promise, but I do. So since they can't keep their bargain as most times in "Canadian" history I wonder what is an appropriate response?

Yeah I used to walk down the sidewalk in my home town with my .22 rifle on the way to the creek valley I’d plink cans at or hunt small game. If someone did that today there’d be a SWAT team on the way from the city.

I hope that someone at APP eventually comes to the conclusion that any new Republic of Alberta needs to embrace a hard money standard or at least stay out of the way so we can grow the parallel system without capital gains taxes for spending. Unfortunately my only in person conversation with APP’s CEO months ago about Bitcoin was met with talk of the usual normie FUD and “bananas taped to the wall.” It’s amazing actually how many 60 somethings still have never read The Creature from Jekyll Island or ever even heard of Mises or even Ron Paul.

I did meet up with some friends over Christmas that I hadn't got to have a real good chance to really catch up with in years and was pleasantly surprised to see the were upset and angry as I was about the lies and corruption and thought things needed a major change through whatever means are necessary. Wich was much better to see that the usual "well it sucks but there is nothing I can do" attitude I see in most people these days gave me more and more hope
