Been saying for a while, Carney seems to be playing his part in the dialectic pushing down on the “align with China” side of that table that only elevates the secession and “align with the U.S.” side of the table. Any move that Carney makes on one side can’t be seen outside this polarity unless one assumes he’s totally stupid.

And he’s not.

Counterwill kicks in naturally, the way attachment theory describes it: when imposition (from an over controlling parent) overrides sovereignty and connection, backlash is inevitable just like in physics when a centrifugal force is answered with centripetal pressure. It’s a controlled dialectic with Carney putting his weight on one side of the seesaw with the FULL KNOWLEDGE that is raises up the other side. So the Alberta rebel gets funneled into their construct, where the sold solution is USD dominance, stablecoins as the hemisphere default, or even a CAD to USD swap pitched as the way out. Most Alberta exit folks won’t see it as stripping sovereignty. It’ll look like the rebellious play, breaking free from Ottawa’s China lean.

It also speaks volumes to what people were saying in El Salvador at the Bitcoin Histórico event, the whole hemisphere is being positioned to adopt USD stablecoins and ONLY the citizens within the hemisphere will be protected who are running nodes and using Bitcoin. So Jeff and Bukele’s signal remains, everything else is noise.

Those of us here in Alberta will still proceed forth with independence, the reality remains that we are far more fond of the U.S. than Ottawa by a long shot and while few are actually Bitcoiners yet those of us who are will continue to BANG LOUDLY on that drum.
