10 questions to read through and check off?! Danielle 's way of managing something she doesn't want to happen or even be voted on. Remember the Quebec referendum (2), both close calls for Canada but it helped Quebec throw there weight around and threaten Ottawa's grip on power, but just for Quebec. Gvts never give back acquired power until their existence is threatened and then some don't give up until they are thrown out, literally.

Too little too late! I think it is long past time for academic posturing. The alternative options have already been exhausted, and now is the time for action.

Reasonable discussion and debate are essential to society. Even if Alberta were to separate ,if a forum for such discussions is rejected outright you should question what kind of separate state Alberta would end up being. There are clearly arguments for both sides and people should be as informed as possible before casting a vote either way. I think it sounds like a good opportunity for everyone involved.

Canada should adopt a constitution very similar to that of the United States of America for better protection of Canadians.

@Blair Martin Thank you for an excellent post. It would have been even better if you'd given some examples, such as freedom of speech which is enshrined in the American Constitution..
