Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio -
"You don't speak for me."

Trump The Establishment
The west (Ab, Sask & Mb) should separate. Not sure why they allow those eastern bastards to shit on them.
They’d need to wall up Redmonton though…
I’m in Edmonton and in conversations I have only met 3 people who think we should stay in canada. Everyone else ,even Grandma and Grandpa want out. In the areas outside Edmonton they are mostly Separatist
My son is EPS cop. Most ethnics in Edm vote liberal or NDP while stupid Millenials are Green voters.
Old stocks will vote #Wexit there.
Mixed bag
ray: Edmonton was all Blue this Federal Election except for 1 riding east Strathcona/? was NDP so why would you wall up Edmonton. I know they have lots of Samoli but I’m not sure if they are voting yet.
And that plan B, I submit to you, is north American unification.
President Trump has plenty of uses for Albertan oil, and plenty of good reasons to make sure the oil gets to market and the people of the new, great state of Alberta get a fair price for it.
Rest assured he will have none at all for French Canadian pretensions of nationhood—unless they’re happy to accept a reservation north of the 55th parallel, the hydro dams exporting electricity to the lower 48 not included in the deal, which can then be granted independence so it can go beg for foreign aid from someone else.
No thanks.
Why would we trade Liberals for Democrats?
In any scenario where President Trump could realistically sort out unification, the Democrats would no longer be an issue at the US federal level.
joe Canada is 63% socialist as it is, why would America want even more people at the trough, they can’t afford the ones they have?
Why would we trade off an Eastern Based Govt deep in the financial shitter for another Eastern Based Govt deep in the Financial shitter..??
I see ZERO Benefit of joining the US and lots of downside.
We need to Ensure our sovereignity and create our own Destiny.
Great summation by Ted Morton. This is an article all Albetans should be reading.
US dollar
Two senators
Guaranteed access to major market and tide water.
Ability to retire in the lower 48
Defense
Lower taxes
No carbon tax
Wide open media access (no can con)
Far cheaper air fares
No equalization and other transfers.
So lots and lots of benefits…
Two things would have to give or we would be strangled by an eventual Democrat victory. Public land would have to remain state owned so we owned our own resources and environmental legislation couldn’t be used as excuse to destroy our economy. How is federal environmental legislation in the US even constitutional?
My sentiments exactly.
Gord
You can get all those advantages if you emigrate to the US.
Joe:
I was just replying to steakmans cynical comment.
Gord
My comment may have been too terse.
I was not suggesting you emigrate to the USA. I merely wanted to point out that there are easier ways to get those benefits than having Canada, or portions of, join the USA.
joe, have you tried that, damn difficult for a white, English speaking man.
Gord…I’m not being Cynical … simply realistic.
First off, You will NEVER EVER get even close to 50% to vote for a union with the US. Simply Not happening. Most of the “Benefits” you name could EASILY be ours in our OWN country.
We could easily adopt the USD.
We could easily have 2 Senators (if you wantd them.?), in a New Country that has a US Based constitution…and one with similar 1st & 2nd Amendments among others.
WE WOULD Have Absolute control of OUR resources.
We would also have tidewater ACCESSS…..If Wexit succeeds which I believe it will, it wont be long before Yukon & the NWT want to join. That allows us access to Alaska and allows us to build a 1 km wide ROW from Ft Mac/Hardisty N and run whatever we want to ALASKA. (3-4 48″ Pipleines to start maybe…??? highay – Railway later.?) hmm.? right into the Trans Alaskan Pipeline system.?? to….VALDEZ – Deep water port – open all yr round – ULCC SuperTanker Capable with Instant access to Asian Markets.
They (Alaska) have already stated they would welcome our product into their system back in 2014…that has not changed. And if Valdez is not workable, we have Tuktoyuktuk and Churchill as potential alternatives.
Build THAT and who needs the US..?? Build that country and watch the influx of those who want to work and make it the best place on the planet….by the 10’s of thousands. Canadians…?? we’ll take em.!! Our Economy would literally explode.
We could afford 100 F-35’s and have an excellent well equippped armed forces.
We would allow ANY Airline to Land and take off with passengers. Say goodbye to Air Canada and likely Westjet too. Airlines that have Boned Canadians for Decades…lets see what competition does to pricing hmm?
We would have:
No equlaization
Highest per capita income, likely on the planet
Lowest Taxes on the planet
No Carbon Tax
No Climate Change BS EVER.
We could outlaw Public Service UNIONS…& damned well should.
So yea…..as you say, LOTS n LOTS of Benefits and in 15 years anyone could afford to retire where ever the hell they please.
Time for some vision and the will to push for what you believe. It starts with WEXIT putting 102 Candidates on a Fed register for the next Fed election. Should all 102 win…which I believe is a distinct possibility, the UCP or whomever is in power at the time will have no choice but to begin the process of a CLEAR QUESTION.
What WE need to do, is push and harass the UCP to start Implementing the FIREWALL Recomendations…STAT.
#WEXIT
“Lougheed was also the strongest advocate for the new constitutional amending formula that treated all provinces equally and gave no special veto to Quebec. ”
This does not give an accurate analysis of the amending formula.
No one province has a “veto” however there will not be any amendments unless 2/3’s of the province’s representing 50% of the population agree to any change. Effectively giving Ontario or Quebec a veto.
So just ask your self. Will Quebec or Ontario ever agree to amending the clause regarding “equalization”? Or how about a triple “E” senate? Achievable?
I think not.
Only competing in western provincial elections can we move towards plan “B”.
Participating in federal political activities is like your watching a football game from the stands.
Lougheed was a lawyer. Our Constitution was written by lawyers, for lawyers. Neither the Prime Minister, any Premier, or Territorial leader had a mandate from Canadians to seek a made in Canada Constitution. Canadians were conned by the Canadian legal industry.
Nope no ONE province has an effective veto. Ontario and Qc COMBINED do.
And there is a very cooperative party and leader in Ontario right now.
So you would wait another 4-5 years for the next prov election…?
Way too Flippin late my friend.
There will be nothing left…
It MUST Begin with the next FED election …why Because a Fed Election is potentially the quickest to come about given this is a minority Govt. Im betting within 2 years.
Just shut off the gas to the east and declare independence. Just effing do it!
Seriously? Some of you are brain dead enough that you still think Kenney is going to help? It almost seems like you are too stupid to know how to breath, and I am at a loss to explain how you can still be alive.
So the Great White Hope Jason Kenney has formed a second new think tank, this “Fair Deal” panel? And there is a human living on the planet who does not see through this?
I can’t even.
What could Kenney do about Alberta independence even if he cared to?
Does he perhaps have a ballistic missile somewhere tipped with a hydrogen bomb that he can fire at Ottawa or Montreal? Because the only thing that makes globalists do the right thing is the prospect of being burned to radioactive ash if they don’t.
(Ask the Israelis, who had to threaten to level Moscow and start World War Three before the US would give the Jewish state any meaningful military assistance.)
Alberta isn’t going anywhere unless she shoots her way out—or the Americans do it for her.
“Alberta isn’t going anywhere unless she shoots her way out”
Who’s going to shoot Albertans? The PPCLI? I think not. A vote of 50% plus 1 and we’re outta here.
Maybe Blackie will send out the Van Doos.
2000 miles from home in hostile territory?
Relief Valve Kenney is just like this guy
FILDEBRANDT:
In his plea to Alberta Tories, Scheer links loyalty to the party with loyalty to him
Scheer implied pretty strongly that without support for his leadership of the Tories, that Canada itself is at risk of breaking up.

Traditional Political Parties cannot be trusted.
FILDEBRANDT: Kenney manages expectations, and ( sets a relief valve ) for growing independence support in his party
By offering them the option of a potential referendum without a change of government, Kenney is hoping that he can hold his Tories together the way that the U.K.’s David Cameron did his Tories as the Brexit referendum threatened his own hold on power.
Published November 30, 2019
https://www.westernstandardonline.com/2019/11/kenney-manages-expectations-and-sets-a-relief-valve-for-growing-independence-support-in-his-party/
And here we have the filthiest liar of the day award: “Kenney is hoping that he can hold his Tories together the way that the U.K.’s David Cameron did his Tories as the Brexit…”
The real truth?
David Cameron, Theresa May, Jason Kenney, Scott Moe, Pallister, none of them ever wanted BREXIT/WEXIT. None of the ever supported BREXIT/WEXIT. All of them are continually working against BREXIT/WEXIT.
You will never get any help from Elections Canada, CPoC, Liberal, NDP, Green, PPC, Sask party, UCP, none of them. All of them are working against the formation and operation of any possible separation movement.
If you want the pipelines to BC shut down, no one is going to do it for you; you have to go and find the valve(s) yourself, and close them yourself.
No one is going to blockade the CN/CP east/west mainlines; you have to take your own backhoe, and do it yourself.
Kenney will give speeches. Kenney will form think tanks. Kenney will hand out patronage to said new think tanks. Kenney will make appearances at photo ops. That is it. There will never be any actual action from Kenney; Kenney has made out very well for himself under the current system. Kenney is not going to knock the biscuit wheels off his own gravy train.
Someone could probably bankrole some nutty ecoMarxists to “shutdown” a pipeline. Probably do it eventually for “the greater good”.
Hey there Kevin. You’re the guy that counseled hard for voting Max so that Trudeau could WIN and then *-MAGIC-* Alberta separates and now you’re poo-pooing the idea? Fish or cut bait, Mr. Oh, right! You can’t even.
It appears to be a Liberal policy to win Government by making the country more ungovernable. The Bi and Bi Commission went off the rails into Multi-Culti Hell. The Charter gave judges the power to override legislation. The Importation Policy creates more division.
Why bother to renovate either 24 Sussex or the Parliament buildings ?
The parliament building will make lovely apartments some day.
24 Sussex? Tear it down.
You see all the clapping seals behind the dolt in the photo. Our liberals are no different than the US liberals, they are the duller unproductive segment of politicians and populace, look at all the idiots running for leader of the democrat party stateside, is there a stupider amalgamation of losers ever been recorded, well its no different here. Divide and conquer, most people are good but if you can get the media to create hatred toward Quebec in the west, and Alberta in the east then you waltz up the middle with the Toronto morons votes and shazzam, you get 4 more years of this clown! This will never change as long as Alberta sends them money, we need a Hong Kong like uprising to send the message we are out. I would vote tomorrow to amalgamate with the US, one state doesn’t steal from the other states like here. Donald Trump wants all Americans to work hard and be rich, our dullard only wants to take our riches from hard work so it and his it’s ilk can squander it on “saving the planet”. This putz couldn’t save a coupon.
The path out is not through Kenny and Moe but is through the provincial legislatures.
Wexit needs to form government PROVINCIALLY then through a Declaration of Independence.
It will get ugly and by that you will know we are on the right course.
“…Wexit needs to form government PROVINCIALLY…”
So you think we should sit back for 4 years ….?? BS on that.
We need WEXIT to take every seat in the WEST in an upcomming Fed election..that is before Trudeau declares himself Furher. That is the only way we can pressure Provincial Legislatures to act.
The next provincial Election is when..? when Alberta Declares Insolvency..? and 1 million folks have moved away..?
North American Unification?
Are you daft? That would give the combined Liberals and the Democrats an unbeatable majority in the new Senate, House, and Electoral College. That would permanently cement the socialists of the Liberal and Democrat Parties in place in that New US ans Canada. No. Just NO!
(We don’t want the whiny Eastern Canada either.)
————
You need to start a Bloc Alberta Party, and a Bloc Saskatchewan, Bloc Ontario, Bloc Yukon, Bloc BC parties. Create the demand for independence. You may even need to make common cause with the Quebec separatists (shudder!). There is strength in numbers, and with enough people advocating independence, they cannot pick one province out and crush it. Ask the Catalans what happens when one province alone declares independence?
Promise good government, business friendly government, and independence.
And yes, expect to have to actually fight for your independence too. Fight for it when the RCMP come to arrest the leaders of your separatist parties; fight for it when the elections go your way, but you are denied power by the existing government; and fight for it when Ottawa sends in their loyalist forces to crush your new independent government too.
As I said above, unification won’t happen anyway until President Trump sorts out his own globalists and restores the rule of law south of the border.
I doubt a Democrat/Liberal alliance will still be an issue at that point.
Well, until people start substituting civil disobedience for uncivil typing, nothing is going to change.
Says the Genius who voted Max, eh Jamie MacMaster?
Hey Oz we know who the stupid people voted for and it wasn’t conservative max.
Well, one argument I’ve seen from Canada-philes is that a separate Alberta would still be landlocked. This brilliance suggests that remaining in a relationship where our “brothers and sisters” can force us to kneel to their whims is better than fighting alone to stand for our freedoms. How inspiring our “leaders” are. They will lead us through hell, and leave us there.
However, this war cannot be won unless we know the real enemy. We don’t, and in fact a Free Alberta would start its days embracing and deferring to their ideological foes (Kenny has already capitulated). As Sun Tzu says, “If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”
We will succumb to totalitarianism because we listen to it daily but fear to speak out against it. HOW DARE YOU!!!
Canada is not a free country. When Don Cherry was frog-marched out of polite Canadian society by the vile disgraces at Sportsnet (screw ’em with a broken hockey stick graph) and the thoroughly emasculated wearer of Canada’s new values, Ron “Stone Free” Maclean, the poppy and its values of Freedom and Liberty trudged right along with Grapes.
At that moment, Canada joined the worldwide fraternity known as the Sh*t-hole Country Club.
Independence with an economic union with the us solves that.
“Want” isn’t going to get you a new country.
Is Alberta going to bomb Toronto ? No.
Are you going to round up all the liberal parasites in Edmonton and Calgary and stick them in a freezing hell-hole of a concentration camp (in Banff NP for historical reasons) ? ? No.
What about your neighbors who voted for Red Rachel ? Are you willing to put them in a ditch ? No.
No country for you.
Well said sir!
“What about your neighbors who voted for Red Rachel ? Are you willing to put them in a ditch?”
Not specifically but a few tribunals and firing squads for those who commit active treason in the brand new country might be necessary to smooth things over. I am talking those that try to backslide with violence.
One claim that makes me blush (living in Ontario) is that Alberta does not transfer money to Quebec because the transfers are made by the Federal government and not directly from Alberta. Come one Alberta, help us out here. At least take back your pension money – it’s yours after all.
If I rent a room in a house and pay $1,000 per month while everyone else in the house pays only $500 per month for a similar room then I am not subsidizing other people’s rooms because my rent money goes to the landlord and not directly to the other tenants. And that would make me both poorer and more stupid. Alberta, you’re paying $1,500 per month for a $500 dollar room.
So what do you think about an out of Province employment tax to help pay for the equalization? If you live in Ont or PQ you pay a percentage more tax if you work in Ab or Sk?
It probably wouldn’t work. If I lived in Newfoundland and worked in Fort MacMurry and the AB government introduced an out-of-province tax I would simply declare my domicile in AB.
Plus, if I were running AB, or SK I wouldn’t want to appear to be a turd to the RoC. Just take your pension money back and start the separation, welcoming hard workers from the RoC with open arms and no tax penalties. Then watch Qc, On and Nf scream bloody murder.
You are 100% Correct STEVE.
ALBERTA must start implementing the FIREWALL Recomendations. STAT.
And I harrass Kenney near daily on that very subject.
“STFU with the talking, the BS Meetings and Consultation Jason…
We have no time for that crap…Get busy DOING something ffs.!!”
Not quite in those words…but close enough to be considered allowable. But he’s a Goddamned Fedralist & loves his current Gravy train and has eyes on the PMO….so he’s definitely a stumbling block here.
“Today, we are even more vulnerable to the Liberals’ tried and true strategy of pillaging Alberta’s economy to buy votes in Quebec and Ontario.”
Except that under the guise of an impending Climate Change Crisis, they are now using hi-jacked western monies to buy votes not just in Que and Ont but clear across the country…. including many Albertans themselves.
Well put Markon
The fact that Dr. Morton is calling for a Plan B is very significant. Perhaps he can be the spokesman that the Alberta Independence Movement has been calling for and I have mentioned here various times. Perhaps he can be that unifying voice of all Alberta’s Independence groups.
In the meantime Albertans who want Independence start buying memberships in the UCP/NDP/? parties of Alberta and take them over from within bend them to your will.
Make them say Nation of Alberta.
Make them form Policy that is Alberta First. Make Kenney withdraw from the Federal Provincial Fiscal Arrangements Act. Demand withdrawal from CPP and use the 40B to establish APP. Establish our own UI. Establish our own Alberta Provincial Police, Take back our Parks, Banff, Jasper, Woods Buffalo, and all the 10m acres of Prime Alberta Real Estate managed by Ottawa as Parks. Very long list.
Get all these things done as you educate the Citizens of Alberta and then hold a Binding Referendum for a UDI. Never negotiate with an Undemocratic Mess called Canada. Get Ottawa out of Alberta in everyway possible. Go UDI Alberta. In Freedom and Liberty
The same people who say Alberta is better off in Canada also think Quebec is better off outside of Canada.
They and oblivious 905 belters think the matter has been put to rest, Alberta is in its place so to speak, their bluff called.
IOW, they have no idea what’s coming. Western Canada is done with being locked out of the barn but expected to provide milk.
The disillusionment is just percolating. They spoke and we’re ignored. Let the oblivious ones sink into further overconfidence.
The federal approach didn’t work. Scheer’s liberal lite, no talkie pipelines was an unmitigated disaster. This must all end.
And it will, one step at a time. Make no mistake, the West wants out, including BCers tired of watermelonism do-nothings.
I read the article hoping to see Morton’s idea of what plan B might entail, but all I saw was another historical summary wrapped in another keyboard-warrior rant. Nothing useful.
Same initial reaction here, I opened the link hoping to read someone’s well thought-out opinion of a realistic and fruitful next step for the west.
Silly us.
Take back your pension money. Small boulders fall just before the avalanche.
Interesting comment by Morton.
He says what many here have stated and rightly so.
Without a clear view of our history, we know not where we go.
We need to be clear about what we learned from Reform.
We wanted in as equal citizens of Canada.
We spent near 40 years working on that dream.
We got?
Less than nothing?
We are poorer and weaker for those 4 wasted decades,in my opinion.
Canada is a Kleptocracy,we did clarify that.
Our Eastern Comrades like things just the way they are and are going.
So no to property rights,no to personal responsibilities, no to self defence,no to life and no to NOT selling our grandchildren into slavery.
But yes to diluting our wealth and services for other nationals benefit.
Yes to perversion.Your children shall accept Pedophiles as normal.
Yes to State Religion as the Cult of Calamitous Climate is state founded,funded and forced down our throats.
Yes to a “Post national Country” where laws are selective and law is interpreted via your affiliation and status.
And where the freedom to point out the nature of this Kleptocracy via speech is forbidden by our Leaders..
So we want to abandon the failed experiment, that is reasonable.
So what do we replace it with?
A reset? To when Laws were local? Where all charity was local ?To when our faceless minions had personalities and a name?
A brave new world?
Where we experiment with human nature,defying all the lessons of the past?
What New Country are we demanding?
What can we contribute?
What are we building?
And for whom?
So Morton is right to describe how we got here, we need to understand where we want to be.
Map reading 101,you cannot get to where you want to be,unless you know where you currently are.
Yes to free enterprise, actual liberalism and natural rights.
No to Marxist progressive parasitism where the state, not God or nature, decides your “rights.” What’s yours is theirs.
Compassionate society is achieved through harmonious transactions, iow not forced by one party, not the coercive state.
The coercive state, which is the antithesis of the unbreakable link between prosperity and freedom, will always fail
It will always then blame its failure, first on its selected outgroups, then on to the citizenry in general.
The Marxist overlords, sorry dictatorship of the proletariat, will always assume their wisdom and substitute their judgment.
Those who don’t agree with the “resistance,” or “peoples’ revolution,” or other such nonsense, hypocrisies and contradictions, must be dealt with publicly and brutally, to ensure future dissenters know what’s in store for them.
That is currently being played out at a relatively low intensity level, with fake issues, slanders and government exempted from common law, with the state as its apparatchiks as final arbitrator, with useful idiots in tow, deciding all for you for their benefit.
But as failure exacerbates their transactions of decline and its subsequent erosion of freedom, and thus prosperity, the police state, water cannon, gulags and firing squads are never far behind, as in Venezuela, with the useful idiots already eliminated.
CAGW watermelon collectivists will always feed us false issues, to which they cannot be held accountable, reality be damned.
Climate change not budgets. Gender not equality. Unconscious bias not discernment.
A smart politician would get in front of this parade. Unfortunately our politicians are not selected for their intelligence.
I can think of two reasons Albertans would benefit from joining the US:
1. The First Amendment
2. The Second Amendment
Doug…I fully believe there is significant appetite for a US Based Constitution here and with a bare minimum of those two Amendments among others.
WE Must LEAVE….or we Die under the boot of tyranny…for make no mistake my freinds, those in the EAST that wield the power today are identical to Adolph Hitlers Gang of Fascist Filth. The Furher never actually giving orders, just letting his Leutenants do the dirty work.
Gerald Butts – Katie Telford anyone..??
“50 plus one and we’re out of here?”
Yes, surely, but who will be counting the votes?
Who are we to trust?
Canada paid ~1.5 mil for Rupert’s Land in 1869. They think they still own us.
I’m beginning to think a strong North America makes more sense than a One World unelected government. Under the “we want you dead” UN people, we all die. So which is it? I say North America or death. It’s between the Chinese and the Muslim nations anyway. If they want to be under a totalitarian tyrannical regime let them knock themselves out.
As one nation, North America, united we stand, divided we fall.
Gord Tulk at 1:18 pm makes a lot of sense.
We don’t need the Trudeau – Sheer Canadian army lobbing their ‘timbits’ weapons at us!
“Canada paid ~1.5 mil for Rupert’s Land in 1869. They think they still own us.”
And they invaded us twice, in 1870 and 1885. And they kept public land in the prairie provinces for many years while the rest of the provinces owned theirs. And they stole our land between Kenora and Thunder Bay.
Step one is all Independence minded Albertans need to unite, and get the heck out of Canada. UDI is the quickest cleanest option. No matter what choices we make after, getting out is job one.
Then ask Albertans what they want to do, a new nation? or a fully equal state of the USA. Both have their points. One strong bargaining chip for US option is the resources and eventually connecting Alaska and the lower 48 especially if the 15,000 citizens of the Yukon come along.
Albertans who want Independence should buy memberships in the UCP/NDP/? Parties of Alberta and push Independence as a top priority. If Kenney resists oust him.
Right. They should be begging us to stay.
We are the accident victims — they keep running over us, over and over and over, we get beat up like an abused spouse.
NR if you read the comments sections in eastern newspapers especially the CBC news articles. You quickly come to understand they really do hate our guts, they believe they own us, and would prefer us dead.
That’s correct.
When they drove the English out of Quebec to Toronto and the ROC during the diaspora of the late 70s they acquired some mighty fine real estate… cheaply. They think they can do it again.
For those who know the city of Mtl there were some mighty fine buildings on Sherbrooke Street West, homes in Westmount and other Anglophone enclaves that sold rather quickly and people flew the coup, even some bilingual ones. The “regie of the langue française” were fanatics and anyone new coming into the province who wanted to educate their kids in English were out of luck. It was French only.
The businesses had to redesign their signs at great expense. Some were angry about that and put up a scratched out messy sign and left it like that for years. It was nouveau art.
There were many examples of unfairness to last a lifetime of pain and frustration, too numerous to mention. You get the idea.
I knew one personally. He grew up in Montreal. And in the 70’s he went to his usual hangout after work one day, and was beaten so bad by French Racists, with a cue ball in a sock, his own mother did not know him, and the French lads he grew up with, sat there with their backs to him in the club as he was beaten to a pulp. As soon as he healed up he left. Very brutal treatment. His elderly parents had to stay.
Poor guy. It doesn’t take much for violence to escalate. See this for example where Sheila Gunn Reid was recently assaulted. This was previously posted on Readers Tips today. Course language advisory.
https://rebeldonations.com/sheila-gunn-reid-was-violently-shoved-by-a-union-thug-help-identify-and-bring-the-thug-to-justice/
Westerners need to re-educate their populace immediately. In the schools, on the radio, web and TV. Full blown propaganda that shows that confederation for Alberta and Saskatchewan (Manitoba and BC as well as the territories) is a losing proposition.
K-becers hate your guts and they think you owe them for keeping them in confederation.
People from Ontario just don’t care and think you owe them for letting you be in confederation.
Who gives a shit what the hand-out Atlantic provinces think.
Gain control of the “airwaves” and win the hearts and minds of a solid majority. Right now you appear to have far too many ignorant losers in your midst.
JohnStuart Mill; On Democracy might be a good starting point.
However the USA constitution as written is a mighty fine place to stand as well.
I feel a damn sight more in common with our immediate southern neighbours than I do with our eastern Comrades.
Perhaps we should go for becoming part of Montana&North Dakota.
If we consider the Constitutional Republic our best model.
Those who feel we are moving too slow, Too slowly to where?
These discussions must be had,as Albertans are not emotional retards, rather the opposite, when we say we intend to do something it generally gets done.
This is the Alberta I know.
What we allow to “lead” us politically is something of a shared joke.
“Nobody in their right mind wants the job”.
Which worked fine until the cities discovered they could steal with immunity,via the ballot box.
Of course we could just sit back until the cities burn, but that might be a bit too callous, however richly earned.
Diversity is “our strength” .Depends who “OUR” is.
The ever increasing tribalism being imposed upon us leads naturally to mob violence, unless you wilfully deny human nature and our history.
If you want to understand the roots of the Independence Movement in Alberta you should read this article. I prefer to call it the Independence movement rather than Separatists, because the word Separatist makes me always think of the slimey French extortionists of Quebec.
Anyway here is the story of how the Fabians and the Globalists seized power in Canada. Worth a couple of minutes.
http://canadianpatriot.org/canada-2020-and-the-new-malthusian-takeover-of-canada/
Morton outlines what has been Plan A, working within Canada’s Constitution, and shows that this model hasn’t worked… leaving only Plan B.
Since the Plan A hasn’t worked, all that’s left is to advocate for leaving Canada.
Advocating for a “fire wall” around Alberta with certain sectors of governance set aside for Alberta is still at the mercy of a rogue SCOC. It may work to start the separation, but at some point in time, the SCOC will rule against Alberta and for Old Canada, leaving you broke, hungry, and without the monetary means to go your own way. It’s only a stepping stone to absolute separation.
A unilateral declaration after a vote showing a majority voting to leave is the real Plan B.
Canada’s SCOC and the “Claritiy Act” which outlines Canada’s rules for a province leaving, has a vested interest (the continuation of taxation without our equal recognition) in forcing Alberta (& Sask) to fail at leaving Canada upon their terms. The remaining provinces don’t need to be consulted upon the terms of Alberta (& Sask.) leaving. The Canadian view that a province exiting needs to partake in amending Canada’s Constitution is bullshit. Canada will spend the next decades trying to repair its broken Constitution and that’s not our problem.
It would be helpful if someone within the Wexit vote organization had a sit down talk with President Donald J. Trump to bounce these ideas off him, and advocate for American recognition, and perhaps using the American dollar in our newly independent country, in light of a positive vote for our independence.
The imbecile Trudeau isn’t going to push back on anything if American recognition is seized upon. He’ll have his hands absolutely full with trying to figure out a way to access the Pacific Ocean for his eastern nation, and how to fill the coffers now that his tax farm has quit the game.
This, is Plan B.
This is what it’s like to not negotiate from a position of weakness.
This is why I have long advocated for the UDI, long recognized in International Law. It is how the USA became a country. Once the 50% plus 1 threshold is reached it is all over. Then all negotiation is nation to nation. Never negotiate from weakness. With UDI all treaty’s all contracts, all jurisdiction of Ottawa and Canada ends on that day. Their courts have no jurisdiction as soon as UDI is declared, none of their laws apply as of that day. If they want rail access to the east or west, OK lets talk. We want our pipelines east and west or you get no rail access or truck transit etc. As to threats of violence bring it on. The New Nation of Alberta on the day after can declare all citizens of certain age as being in the Military and issued guns the same as Switzerland. Citizen Soldiers etc. UDI Alberta In Freedom and Liberty.

Doug…I fully believe there is significant appetite for a US Based Constitution here and with a bare minimum of those two Amendments among others.
WE Must LEAVE….or we Die under the boot of tyranny…for make no mistake my freinds, those in the EAST that wield the power today are identical to Adolph Hitlers Gang of Fascist Filth. The Furher never actually giving orders, just letting his Leutenants do the dirty work.

As Alberta goes through its second quasi Holodomor what again is our reason for being canadian?
I use to be “Proud to Be Canadian. “Never in my life have I been so “Ashamed to be Canadian.” Have we had enough yet?
