Novacadia Independence Party

Munit haec et altera vincit

The proposed Novacadia Independence Party is the first political party in North America to be founded upon the recognition of the ecological, economic, social, cultural and political premises, and related institutional devolutions, of the Post-Peak Oil era.

Update, June 13, 2009: It took 14 months for the notion of Novacadia to travel from the original spark of imagination to the pages of the Wall Street Journal. Synchronicity is in the air. You are welcome to step in. Here is the accompanying image to the WSJ article.


   

Post-Peak Oil and NAmerican Regional Secession. This is the full position paper presented at the Third North American Secessionist Convention hosted by The Middlebury Institute,  Manchester, NH, November 14-16, 2008. To fully appreciate, without necessarily agreeing with, the philosophical and political premises behind the founding of the Novacadia Independence Party this is a must read.


Post-Peak Oil and Maritime Secession (First union, then secession.)

The iconic painting "Horse and Train" (1954), by Canadian artist Alex Colville, can be viewed as a meta-statement about our unfolding, Post-Peak Oil era. Will industrial civilization clash with nature or will it not? Is there an alternative to the seemingly pre-ordained collision? What does one do when confronted with the terrible incentive to see clearly?

In our fused world of pending Peak Oil and the global aftermath of the criminal false flag attacks of 9/11, these words and the image they inspired are prophetic for the type of human spirit that must now rise.
 
It is strongly suggested that all who visit this site research the Peak Oil links in the Resources Page. Look at the information, contemplate the magnitude of the consequences as we begin the inescapable slide towards "lights out," then draw your own conclusions. If you are left wondering, "What needs to be done?" then this site offers a political option for the citizens of Novacadia.
 

The Novacadia Alliance morphed into existence via the meeting of two separate and seemingly autonomous initiatives: the flawed and abandoned independent candidacy of Sebastian Ronin in the Canadian federal riding of Central Nova in Nova Scotia, and the secessionist political foundation for the New England region laid out by The Second Vermont Republic. In tandem with SVR, philosophical encouragement and support has come from The Middlebury Institute. The Situation, Opportunity and Action Pages, May 2007 - March 2008, for Mr. Ronin's independent candidacy can be found under Archives in the Resources Page.


Radio Interview with Sebastian Ronin

One-hour radio interview with Sebastian Ronin conducted by former New Hampshire Senator, Burt Cohen, on Post-Peak Oil and Regional Secession. It was broadcast on March 27, 2008 on Portsmouth Community Radio and re-broadcast on April 3, 2008 on the Progressive Radio Network. Note that the interview took place prior to the politically necessary identity transition for this organization from the Atlantica Alliance to the Novacadia Alliance.

"As you grow older you will find that day follows day and

there does not seem much change in you, till suddenly you

hear people talking of you as an old man. It is the same

with an age in history; day follows day, and there does not

seem to be much change, till all of a sudden it turns out that

the age has become old. It is finished; it is passé." - Leo Tolstoy
