Alberta Needs a Minister of Independence Preparation

No matter how much abuse the Laurentian Elite has heaped upon Alberta, the province has seemed willing to just take it. Yet in this relationship, the perpetrator never even tearfully apologizes nor promises to change, but simply rolls out new outrages using new rationales. Albertans’ habitual responses – grumbling, asking for a fairer deal and working ever-harder to bear the costs of Confederation – have failed again and again, argues Leon Craig. He thinks it’s high times for a new approach. In this impassioned, open letter to Jason Kenney, Craig urges Alberta’s new Premier to get their beloved province ready to go it alone.
