"You'll lose the CAD dollar, CPP, and passport." Your CPP is yours - portable anywhere. Canadian dollar lost 50% in 15 years. When Alberta leaves it tanks. We move to US dollar, then build gold-backed. You stay Canadian. They can't take that. #StayFreeAlberta

When gold and the dollar rise together, it signals the END of the current dollar system. "Gold is how you get out of the dollar system. When you see them go up together, that means the dollar is coming to its end of life." - Luke Gromen

Jeff Rath calls out one of the biggest lie in the independence debate. You do not lose your CPP if Alberta becomes independent. CPP is a contractual right. You keep it if you live in Alberta the same way you keep it if you move to Portugal or Spain.

KEVIN O'LEARY: “SORRY BANKS - CRYPTO JUST REPLACED YOU” "The Canadian dollar will probably remain the Canadian dollar. The US dollar will remain exactly that. But just take those two nations: the amount of currency trading between them is in the trillions, and it's expensive to move the money back and forth. But if you have USDC on both sides of the border, as I'm going to, that's how I'm gonna move money. I'm not gonna wait for a three-day Fed wire anymore. It takes too long to transfer through the bank." Source: Al Arabiya, Kevin O'Leary aka Mr. Wonderful

#WATCH | US President Donald Trump says, "... This (The Genius Act) is really strengthening the US Dollar and giving the Dollar a great prominence. There is a little group called BRICS, and it is fading out fast. But BRICS tried and wanted to take over the Dollar and the dominance of the Dollar and the standard of the Dollar. I said that anybody in the BRICS consortium of nations, we are going to tariff you 10% and they had a meeting the following day, and almost nobody showed up... We are not going to let the Dollar slide... If we lost the status of the Dollar as the world's reserve currency, it would be like losing a World War... When I heard about this group of six countries in BRICS, I hit them very hard, and if they ever really form in a meaningful way, it will end very quickly..." Source: The White House/ YouTube

Former BlackRock fund manager Ed Dowd on the death of the dollar 💵☠️ "we're in a stealth bull market in the dollar... [but] the bad news is there's a new monetary system coming" "I've always been of the opinion the dollar is going to fail up... Then they reset stuff" "The dollar system is designed for constant credit creation... [and] put simply more credit creation, lower dollar, less credit creation, higher dollar" "so de-dollarization is actually bullish for the dollar in the short term because... there's always people scrambling for dollar liquidity" "if the dollar goes up too fast, too quick, it squeezes other nations and causes serious economic pain" "The dollar is very much a financial weapon and it is used as such" "So the good news is I don't think the dollar is going away anytime soon. The bad news is there's a new monetary system coming" "I don't know when, but it's going to involve gold because the signal is going to involve gold because central banks are acquiring gold...[and] commercial banks are acquiring gold because they made it a tier-one capital again, which is essentially the ability to create money from your gold" "So I'm bullish the dollar long term until I see the charts break. And they haven't broken yet" "that's why when people ask me, What should I be doing with the stock market?, I go, Take some of your money and put it in the cash— They go, but inflation's killing me.

Unfortunately they normally do it at pico tops in Gold, Silver and Bitcoin 4.

The inflation risk is real, hyperinflation CAN happen, in the video below I explain how to manage this risk properly and how I do it:

You will not lose your Canadian passport in an independent Alberta. That's just pure fear-mongering by the "stay" side because they have no other argument. All they have is fear and nostalgia (for a Canada that basically no longer exists). Canada has fully recognized dual citizenship since 1977. There is no requirement to renounce Canadian citizenship when acquiring another. A Canadian-born person does not lose their citizenship simply because their province leaves Confederation. Canadian law protects citizenship by birth on Canadian soil. Most Albertans have deep family, cultural, and economic connections across Canada. None of those ties will be broken because of independence.

🚨Peter Schiff: China🇨🇳 is silently dumping the dollar, a US🇺🇸 dollar crisis is coming soon! ‘China is gradually weaning themselves off of the dollar. That’s why, if you look at their holdings of US Treasuries, they’ve actually gone down a bit over the years. If you look at all the new Treasuries we’ve issued over the years, the fact that the Chinese haven’t bought any of them is a big deal because they used to be a main buyer of these assets. Instead of buying more Treasuries, they’ve bought more gold. So if you look at US dollar debt as a percentage of all the reserves the Chinese own, Treasuries are a much smaller percentage of their total reserves than they once were, especially if you consider the appreciation of gold. I would guess the reason they’re not moving more dramatically is because they probably don’t want to cause a crash, the dollar to implode, the Treasury market to implode, because they are trying to sell and want to get a decent price. So I think they’re happy to slowly bleed it off to try to get that good price. They just have to worry about the impact on the dollar, because if they try to dump too many dollars at once, the dollar could go down, and especially if a lot of other countries see that and want to get out. There could be a run on the dollar. If all the holders decide they want to get out, they don’t want to be the last one holding the dollar, and so it becomes a rush, and we could be in a US dollar crisis relatively soon anyway… I think we’re heading for a real crisis in the US, and I think countries that are smart would be trying to get ahead of that by selling whatever they can, as quietly as they can, out of US dollars and any US dollar-denominated debt.’ -Peter Schiff on Going Underground

Trump continues to insist that BRICS wants to destroy the dollar. ‘If we lose the dollar’s status as a world currency, it will be like losing a war, a big world war. We will not allow that to happen. There is a saying: ‘the dollar is king’. The dollar is king. And we are going to keep it that way! If anyone wants to challenge that, they can, but they will have to pay a high price for it. And I don’t think any of them are willing to pay that price.’ There is no plan for a BRICS dollar. Only thing there might be is a non-SWIFT payment system and encouraging countries to use their own dollar. Slavyangrad

Gold is roaring because the US has stopped pretending. The polite version is “strong dollar policy.” The real version is: we will accept and even welcome, a softer dollar to win the trade war and rebuild American industry Gold Made an ATH at $5,500+ and the dollar keeps sliding. Most people think it’s just “safe-haven buying” or “China speculation.” Look closer: the current US administration is quietly sending a very different signal and markets are listening loud and clear. Here’s what they are indirectly telling the world(even while Treasury still says “strong dollar policy” out loud): 1. We are done accepting huge, structural trade deficits as the permanent price of dollar reserve status. That old deal is being torn up. 2. We are willing and in many ways prefer a meaningfully weaker dollar if it delivers: • sharply lower trade deficits • faster reshoring of manufacturing • stronger leverage in forcing surplus countries to rebalance 3. Tariffs aren’t mainly about revenue or punishing inflation. They are the primary tool to force global trade rebalancing especially making China choose between: - massively increasing domestic consumption, or - losing serious access to the US market 4. Onshoring + friend-shoring + trillion-dollar industrial incentives = permanent structural reduction in US demand for goods from chronic surplus nations. That shrinks their surpluses even without a big dollar move. 5. We are comfortable letting gold, silver and other hard assets run because maximum dollar purchasing power is no longer the overriding priority. Real-economy revival and trade-flow correction now sit higher in the hierarchy. The dollar index making lower lows and gold exploding higher are not accidents. They are the market’s cleanest read that the US has shifted priorities: Re-industrialize America and rebalance global trade even if it means tolerating (or engineering) a weaker dollar for a while.** Call it managed depreciation, tariff collateral, or strategic pivot the direction is unmistakable. Gold isn’t just reacting to fear. It’s pricing in a deliberate change in US policy posture. What’s your take, intentional path toward a softer dollar, or just unavoidable side-effect?

🚨NEW: Adam Curry nicely breaks down how Stablecoins work, Tether, and the likely future of the US Digital Dollar system. (Worth a watch if you don't know about this subject) "A stablecoin is a digital dollar thats pegged to the dollar so it's always a dollar. It's already being used all over the internet and the world. The only reason it's worth a dollar is because the stablecoin company that creates it has debt and paper to back it up. They buy America's debt, they buy treasury bonds or T-bills that pay a dividend that gives interest, and for each dollar they've bought in treasury they can create stablecoins. If you look at the company Tether they've bought more of the US debt than most countries. They have $160B worth of US debt. For each of those dollars they have a stablecoin. There's like 50 people in the company. They have $160B at 4% interest annually, they're making BANK just for holding this debt. I think that President Trump is very smart in seeing that we can flood the world with our stablecoin and we get a 2-for-1. We create a dollar of debt and we create another dollar that can be used all over the world as a reserve currency and that should result in some new monetary system that we need to come up with to have our dollar valued properly but also still remain the reserve currency and remain a strong export country. We don't make anything that we sell abroad, we can't all serve each other burgers and fries -- we have to build something. All of that went overseas. There's something big coming, and it has to happen. Trump is a meta guy. He's going to re-finance the country. It'll be digital and he Bitcoiners don't like this because they want Bitcoin to be the one currency that everyone uses but its now more like a digital gold that's much easier to move around. It's useful but it isn't money or currency the way it was originally intended -- but it is still very important and will be part of the US' strategic reserve. It looks to me like Stablecoins and Tether in particular will be the future of the US dollar payments. A lot of people on the right are afraid of being controlled on a grid because you can stop stablecoins -- but it seems there's no way of getting around some form of a digital dollar. I still like Bitcoin as a backup to protect from that control." Great breakdown Adam Curry - curryirc.com

Most people read the dollar exactly backwards. A rising dollar looks like strength. Strong America, good economy, the Fed doing its job. A falling dollar looks like weakness. Inflation, debasement, the end of dollar dominance. It is the other way around. A rising dollar usually means global funding is tightening. The world is short of dollars and scrambling to find them. That is not strength. That is stress. Think of a hurricane coming and everyone rushing to buy bottled water. The price spikes. That does not mean the water got stronger. It means people are scared and desperate. The dollar works the same way. When it surges against everything at once, it is telling you dollars are getting scarce, not that America is winning. That is why the dollar spikes in crises. The 1997 Asian crisis. 2008. The 2015 emerging market squeeze. March 2020. The 2024 carry trade blow up. The pattern is not random. None of this is really about the Fed or money printing. The dollar's exchange value is mechanical. It runs on the eurodollar system, the offshore dollar funding made of bank balance sheets, collateral, repo, and swaps. The biggest driver is dealer balance sheets. When dealers expand, dollars flow and the world feels calm. When they pull back, dollars get scarce and the dollar climbs. And this is the part everyone gets wrong. When foreign central banks sell US treasuries, the headlines scream that they are dumping America. They are not. They are using their reserves exactly as designed. When their markets are short of dollars, they sell treasuries to supply them. Sell treasuries, the dollar goes up. That is stress, not rejection. Which is why the dollar doom story keeps failing. They said QE would destroy the dollar after 2008. They said the deficits would collapse it. It never happened, because the problem was never too many dollars. It was not enough usable ones in the right places. So when someone tells you a strong dollar means America is strong, be careful. The strongest looking dollar is often the biggest warning sign. And a falling dollar is usually just the storm passing.
