Summary
The US, particularly under Donald Trump’s agenda, is purportedly seeking to have Mark Carney become Canada’s Prime Minister in order to advance US energy interests, specifically to unlock Alberta’s energy sector and secure North American energy dominance.
Geopolitical Power Alignment
Mark Carney, with ties to Harvard, Goldman Sachs, and Bank of England, is positioned to become Canada’s Prime Minister through a supermajority election win that could centralize power beyond any Liberal government since 2015, enabling him to unstick Alberta’s energy and flow hydrocarbons to global markets.
Carney’s Davos speech calling out Trump was a cynical opening gambit for his election campaign, designed to unite Canada against perceived US cultural domination while positioning himself as the leader who can deliver North American energy dominance.
The Pentagon, alarmed by US dependency on China, seeks to reinvigorate North American manufacturing and resource base across Venezuela, Argentina, Colombia, Mexico, Canada, and Greenland to compete with China in hydrocarbons and sustain US global power.
The ideal outcome for those controlling Canada is a thoroughly defeated Alberta separatism referendum after a favorable energy deal for Albertans, followed by Carney’s re-election in a landslide majority to maintain centralized control.
AI Disruption and Economic Instability
The doubling time of AI power has compressed to weeks, rapidly approaching the singularity and raising urgent concerns about white-collar job displacement before nations can accumulate sufficient wealth.
The Washington Post’s layoffs of 300 reporters exemplify the impending obsolescence of button-pushing jobs due to AI, with technology rapidly disrupting entire industries and creating an AI-driven wealth gap that threatens social stability.
Mike Rowe warns of elite overproduction in Western nations, with hordes of graduates unprepared for an AI-disrupted job market, while in Canada 60% of citizens and PRs live on government support—a 20% unemployment rate would force benefit recipients into minority status.
Monetary System Collapse
The depegging of the dollar from gold in the 1970s marked the beginning of irreversible decline for the Western-based fiat financial system, with US dollar, euro, CAD, JPY, and GBP no longer functioning as money because they fail the store of value test.
The DXY index measures a basket of similar fiat currencies, not dollar strength—the relevant measure is comparison to real assets like oil, Bitcoin, and gold, with gold surging from $3,000 to $5,600 in under a year as Western fiat rapidly debases.
US sanctions on Russia in 2022 destroyed the neutrality of US treasuries as reserve assets, creating urgent need for a replacement neutral reserve asset backed by hard assets like gold to settle international trade imbalances.
Resource Wealth and Separatism
Alberta separatist sentiments stem from centuries of Eastern Canadian exploitation of Western Canada, with Saskatchewan having potential to become one of the wealthiest places on Earth due to its untapped resource base.
Bitcoin and gold currently fail the medium of exchange test but are competing to become the future store of value, with the debasement trade being the key trend as gold’s physicality and status as nobody’s credit position it to reemerge as the neutral reserve asset.
