I Don’t Want My Country Back

I want a new one.

An independent Alberta would control access to its land mass as well as the skies above it, requiring Canada’s federal government to negotiate rights for, say, Vancouver-to-Toronto flights over Alberta airspace. Canada would also need Alberta’s agreement to have trains and trucks cross its now-international borders. Threats of tolls and tariffs could abound as needed to chasten those perceived to be wronging Alberta, whether Quebec, which exports dairy to B.C., grain interests that now commandeer rail to the detriment of Alberta’s oil shippers, or the B.C. ports that depend on commodities going to and from points east. Anyone thinking that Alberta would be unable to police its borders needs to be reminded that, for the past 70 years, Alberta’s patrols have made it the continent’s only rat-free jurisdiction.

They’d only need to police the west side.

Rich.

What would be necessary? Here’s a quick list I threw together. Undoubtedly incomplete.
– Take responsibility for 1/35th of federal debt as of November, 2015. I think it was around $620B so that would be $17.7B. This is to be paid to the Gov’t of Canada over twenty years without interest. ($870M/yr)
– Pay 1/35 of Canada’s November 2015 Defence budget of $23B yearly to the Gov’t of Canada. This is $657M/yr or until such time as Saskatchewan deems necessary to provide for our own defence.
– A flat tax on all income, personal and corporate.
– Look towards Switzerland for banking regulation.
– All current Indian Reservations remain under the purview of the Gov’t of Canada and outside the responsibility of the Gov’t of Saskatchewan. All Status Indians remain Canadian Citizens with the right to immigrate to become a Saskatchewan Citizen with all the Rights and Responsibilities that entails.
– Until such time as Saskatchewan law can be clarified, Saskatchewan will continue to enforce the Canadian Criminal code as it exists from the point of separation.
– Freedom of speech, property rights, freedom of assembly, freedom of religion, the right to firearms, the right to not self-incrimate, the right to due process, and freedom of the press be enshrined
– Elected Judges with 10 year terms.
– An appointed Supreme Court by the legislative body.
