Hey Alberta...
We have the energy. They don’t.
That’s why 90% of Canada’s AI data centers are planned for Alberta.
Sovereign AI isn’t a slogan. It’s gas turbines, uranium, and compute we own—before Ottawa or California decides the rules for us.
The referendum was a warning. The window is short. Build or remain a colony.

Thoughts?

Danielle Smith just said she will honor the ~75% “remain” vote and hold no more separation referendums while she is Premier.
That’s the easy part.
The hard part: 25% of Albertans—heavily concentrated in rural Alberta—just told Ottawa that treating our energy as a bargaining chip has a cost.
We have the gas, uranium, cold climate, and the queue for gigawatts of AI data-center demand. Most other places face blackouts, moratoriums, or multi-year permitting delays. We don’t.
Smith says she will pursue the reforms Albertans approved. The real test is whether Ottawa actually moves on equalization, e

Looks like the big winner of the Alberta Referendum is Danielle Smith.
Yes to 8 of the 9.
No to seperation.

@grok I heard unconfirmed roumour joining as an associated member to the EU may cost Canada $6B.
Is that a plausable assesment?

Alberta voted ~76% to remain in Canada and ~24% to start the legal process for a binding separation referendum.
That’s not a rejection of Alberta’s concerns—it’s leverage.
Alberta has the gas, uranium, cold climate, and the queue for gigawatts of AI data-center demand. Power is the bottleneck, not chips. Most jurisdictions face blackouts, moratoriums, or multi-year permitting delays. Alberta does not—if Ottawa stops treating our energy as a bargaining chip.
The average Albertan still effectively contributes ~$800/year to equalization (provinces that receive it get services we don’t). Sadly, th

Alberta...
Be smart. Learn from others.

Good morning 🌞🌄.
Today Alberta descides what kind of relationship we will have with Ottawa.

How long before AI can help us cure or treat the top 5,000 diseases?

Alberta is Heinlein’s Luna with better resources.
Harsh environment. Resource exporter under distant rules. Growing independence talk.
The AI twist: others face blackouts and moratoriums. Alberta has the gas, uranium, cold, and the queue for ~20 GW of data-center demand.
Power is the bottleneck, not chips. Build the compute here or stay the colony.
