Well, it’s true..
The treaties that secured the land for Alberta to be a province on pre-date the province of Alberta by a few years, and were between the crown and the various first nations, not the government of a province that did not yet exist. That means that Alberta has absolutely no say in the matter whatsoever, since it is not a signatory of the treaties. For Alberta to declare independence, they would have to steal the land.
If an analogy helps, Alberta is like a teenager, phoning the bank to cancel the minivan his parents leased. He’s not on the lease papers, so he has no right to cancel it, he wants to get rid of it, then he has to steal the minivan first.
> The judge called the move to change the legislation antithetical to the rule of law and democracy.
There have been so many situations where the UCP has shown they’re willing to run roughshod over norms, ethics, and rights. It’s really the Trump playbook at work – throw enough stuff every week and one issue won’t become the story.
The UCP will continue to get away with all this as long as 30% of the province is ride or die, no questions asked.
