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.

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 their 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.

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.

What Manning and Campbell are attempting to do is to fill the minds of Albertans with so many confusing thoughts that in the end the majority will accept the status quo. Business as usual. Under Provincial legislations, the people are not free, and under Federal legislations the people are not free. It is time for the people to separate from both the Provincial and Federal Crown Corporations, of and for the City of London. The Provinces and territories are meerly lines that the crown corporation drew on a map for no other purpose than citizen containment, power, and control.

Those who are born upon this land are indigenous; we are not colonist's of the foreign British Empire - the Crown of England - King Charles III.

It would be nice if these ten questions were asked of all the western provinces ... I , however , think that Alberta should become its own sovereign entity and I dont want anything to interfere with that ... Yes , we dont even have free speech protected by law ... The federal government has stabbed Canadians in the back too many times now... I know they want to continue to own us but I think the provinces all need to be sovereign if they want to care about being able to speak freely

The Provinces and territories are meerly lines that the crown corporation drew on a map for no other purpose than citizen containment, power, and control. Upon separation, the lines on the map are irrelevent - they no longer exist. Alberta is the name of a crown corporation; the lines on the map indicates the Crown corporation's region, is all.

More importantly, those who are born upon this land are indigenous; we are not colonist's of the foreign British Empire - the Crown of England - King Charles III.

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..

Hey Preston, I was on that bus. With you and many, many thousands of other well meaning canadians!

Working to affect change!

Working to be included in the once great country called canada!

And then we found that the "east" wasn't really interested. So we "Morphed"

We "Morphed" into the CPC if I recall. and here we are! Shunned until Equalization Season!

Then the ROC is happy as can be. They contribute SFA to the cause and just sit on their FLAT ARSES and collect the largess from the west.

No Preston, time is up. F'OFF, okay. The fridge is getting awful close to empty!!!

The same Preston Manning that got nothing from Ottawa in the Reform party, the same Preston that convinced Danielle Smith to jump ships. I've been pushing succession since the late 60's this guy is full of hot air and himself.

Too bad this will never air across Canada. Will U-Tube pick it up?

Exactly Saskatchewan at one point had a higher percentage of support for secession than Alberta does at present! We have a provincial party and a registered Federal party that are both more favourable to a referendum or secession! Buffalos Baby!

There are many things that could stand in the way of Western provinces gaining more autonomy.

.

One way of avoiding many of those problems would be to create something NEW, for instance a 4TH LEVEL OF GOVERNMENT.

If this event is NOT cancelled under some "Misogynistic, White Supremist, Christian National, Bogeymen" scare tactic, it is obviously a Laurentian grift.
