Second-class citizens?
Re: Alberta's Moment of Truth, Sept. 19
There's no point in Albertans being wimpy about it. Without rebalancing parliamentary representation and the Supreme Court, Albertans remain second-class citizens. Absent equality of citizenship, the issue advances logically from whether to separate to how to separate. Only when facing that reality is the rest of Canada likely to wean itself from exploitative overlordship.

Thanks to Jack Mintz, Ted Morton, Tom Flanagan and Donald Savoie for laying bare the real systemic problem with Canada.
After decades of attempted diplomacy and (federally mandated) co-operation, Albertans know to not expect any help from a federal Liberal government. We're fine with that if only you could get the hell out of our way.
