Going To Bed Canadian, Waking Up An Albertan Or American

4 min read

You are buying a massive freedom house but you completely forgot to install the plumbing, and now the entire basement is filling up with sewage.


It is Ants here.

You see people cheering online for this grand vision of walking away from Canada and grabbing the reins of destiny. They want to strut around the global stage wearing a pristine fur coat, but they have absolutely no underwear on underneath. It looks completely ridiculous to anyone who actually understands how a country functions. You cannot run a sovereign nation on internet memes and bumper sticker slogans. You need cold hard math and actual infrastructure to keep the lights on and the water running. You are playing a very dangerous game with the livelihoods of innocent people who just want to go to work and feed their families. 🧥🥶


Let's talk about the morning of day one in your brand new sovereign paradise. You wake up, get in your car, and try to buy a coffee, but the banking system is completely frozen. You have no valid currency and no mint to print one. Retail stores cannot open their doors because the financial system simply does not exist. Your driver's license is completely void because the Ministry of Transportation vanished overnight. Municipalities go instantly bankrupt without federal and provincial transfer payments. That means there is no garbage pickup, there are no snow plows clearing the roads, and there is no crosswalk lady to keep your kids safe on the way to school. ☕🛑


The reality hits even harder when you look at the hospitals. The physical building is standing there, but the federal transfer payments that pay the doctors are gone. Canadian Blood Services packs up their equipment and leaves because there is nobody left to collect, test, or deliver blood. Supply chains for life saving medications hit an absolute brick wall at the border because you have no customs agreements. Insulin, heart meds, and critical prescriptions completely run out in days. Addicts and patients on permanent disability lose all access to their treatments. Long term disability checks and Employment Insurance bounce immediately, leaving vulnerable people with nothing. 🏥📉


If you think you can just call  for help, think again.


The telecom giants operate strictly under the CRTC, and the CRTC no longer exists in your unrecognized territory. The cell towers go dark, and Bell and Rogers cut the lines instantly. Then the utilities collapse entirely. Federal regulations and funding for power plants and water treatment vanish into thin air. Hydro goes dark and the taps run dry because there is no functional system to pay the utility workers keeping the grid alive. Transport trucks stop cold at the British Columbia and Saskatchewan borders. Grocery store shelves go completely bare in three days. 📱🚰

Then you have to deal with the roof over your head. Every single home, auto, and life insurance policy gets voided immediately under force majeure clauses. You are now sitting in an unrecognized legal territory with zero coverage for anything. The major banks hold your mortgage, and they are strictly Canadian institutions. The CMHC insurance backing your house is gone, so the banks call in your mortgage immediately. On top of all that, you have absolutely no national defense, no military, and no trained border protection. Calgary International becomes a ghost town because Transport Canada no longer runs the sky, leaving you with zero air traffic controllers. ✈️🏚️


The 51st State


Some of you think the backup plan is just sliding in as the fifty first American state, but that is an even bigger nightmare waiting to happen. Welcome to the brutal reality of the American pharmaceutical machine, where your affordable insulin just became a massive out of pocket extortion scheme. You trip and break your arm on the way to work, and suddenly you are paying a massive monthly premium just to keep your family out of medical bankruptcy. Your long term disability and unemployment benefits get slashed to match the bare minimum state levels. You will jump through impossible hoops just to get a fraction of what you used to survive on. 🦅💸


There are zero Canadian labor protections to save you down there. You go to work and get fired at lunch for absolutely no reason because of at will employment laws. You hit the pavement with no severance pay and no recourse. Your public hydro and waterworks get sold off to private American corporations, making your monthly bills skyrocket to pay their wealthy shareholders. You get the United States Army protecting you, but your kids are now eligible for the American draft and military recruitment right out of high school. You complained that Ottawa never listened to you, but now you are a tiny speck competing against California and Texas with zero political leverage. 🪖🏛️

You thought the Canada Revenue Agency was annoying, but the IRS does not play games. Your property taxes will spike aggressively to cover the local services you used to get subsidized. The entire social fabric of your community gets rewritten overnight by a federal government that views you as just another piece of real estate. The gun laws change entirely, the crime rates shift dramatically, and you are left navigating a brutal insurance racket. You are trading a flawed but functional system for complete chaos. You are walking away from the table with no cards, no chips, and no backup plan. 🃏🔥


If you are genuinely willing to trade your Canadian passport for a massive medical bill and zero banking infrastructure, what is your actual plan for day one when the grocery shelves go bare? 🎤👇
