The PEPT Game - The Realism of an "Independent Alberta"

When the above photo was taken and articles were published about this trio, I decided to dig a little deeper into the relationship. I needed to know what these game players were up to. It was around this time I commented in a discord chat that the idea of Alberta leaving Canada was just an idea and not realistic. Needless to say, many folks from USA believe that Alberta will leave Canada and maybe even join USA.
A referendum is coming so we will soon see the final score of this game. And I mean a game. I will explain.
A referendum has been set for October 19, 2026.
In the context of my own belief system, I like to explore the core values underpinning purpose and objective of a leader.
First, let me say, I am happy and full of love for accepting that I am all spiritual and not religious. I was raised as a Roman Catholic and eventually expanded my knowledge of as many religions as possible. I follow The PEPT Game philosophy 101 - Learn Before You Earn anything.
To understand why a Premier would want to support a referendum to leave Canada I had to explore core values.
Danielle Smith is an agnostic. If you search to find what her belief system is you will come across statements, articles, interviews where she identifies as agnostic. When I found this out I started to see a disconnect with what she says, does and supports. She did not swear on the Bible when she took office but she is noticeably bias towards helping Far Right Conservative Christian values.
In exploring some more, I wanted to understand the proposal she was supporting. As in a "nation within a nation" or entertaining separation.
The idea of Alberta as a standalone nation isn't realistic. Now, I do believe you can create your own reality but how does this help in being a leader?
From my perspective, a leader's primary duty is to unite and care for the entire community, You cannot exclude First Nation People.
As an Acadian Canadian, my ancestors learned from First Nation people to share the land. Not own it but protect it and all the resources necessary to sustain a loving and caring community. Honesty and trust was built long before Alberta became a thing. Many Atlantic Canadians and folks from early Upper and Lower Canada regions help make Alberta wealth possible. To entertain an idea that they could separate and control the resources without becoming vulnerable is not wise so what is the real reason for entertaining this extreme conservative movement.
I support First Nation People on this issue. There is no legal pathway where Smith achieves a separation by taking land she does not own. She stated in an interview that she did early voting and chose not to separate. However, she will not challenge her minister that is using his position and government funds to push for separation. You see what is unfolding. There are cheaters in the game. Time to take a closer look at the money trail. Checkout the included video link below.
I decided to ask Google AI a few questions to get a measure of how USA would respond to a separatist Alberta. The chat went back and forth for a bit to ensure that I was not just being fed the quick reply but exploring some scholarly articles.
Google AI quote...
A chaotic, fragmented Canada would be viewed by Washington as a massive security and economic risk, not an invitation for an easy takeover.
#TooFuckeh and #Funeh at the same time.
Canada has been fighting an economic takeover for many years now. It just happens to be worst today because it is a more aggressive President in office.
So we have a political game at play where USA leadership takes cheap shots at Canadians and their government policies. The current administration believes it is ok for them to incite chaos in another country. No exceptions.
For me, a leader who is willing to flirt with the breakup of Canada to win an internal political battle is crossing the line from a respected politician into someone playing a deeply dishonest and dangerous game.
ok, now I share a YouTube video from one of many channels I follow. This one gives me a perspective from an American.
Some Hivers may not entertain this type of share because it is too political. I share to let players in The PEPT Game understand that the PEPT founder is knowledgeable in the economic impact of all things connected.
Now I won't say that I am sure Alberta will not separate because I once said that Trump will never become President of The United States of America. From that day forward, I plan for the worst and hope for the best.
What I do know is that honesty and trust always prevail. Sooner or later, even though some bad players use deception to get what they want, a liar and cheater cannot sustain the maintenance of deception.
Wishing you all the best of days.
