Below is an email that was sent to several Alberta Government officials this afternoon (4:47 pm MDT), March 20, 2025 titled "The Alberta Separation Movement?" My appeal is also to every Canadian. May everyone of us unrelentingly petition our provincial and federal governments to review our confederate structure to achieve greater fairness and equity. Look at the maps and charts below and above and ask: "What must we do to remedy this imbalance and injustice? What must we do to save Canada?
|----------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Greetings Premier Smith, Cabinet Ministers, MLAs:This map was not included in the email, but I include it here. Source is unknown. It is a scan from a photocopied handout received at a meeting.
Please consider the following points and questions as you face increasing calls for Alberta separatism because of Federal overreach, corruption, non-accountability, and the mocking of democracy that we have been witnessing. Many are concluding that there is no way out of the inequities, unfairness, and injustices of our Canadian confederate structure except to separate. Some are making an assumption that seven provinces out of ten with 50% population could never come to an agreement to review and repair our confederate structure, but have we ever seriously presented a united Western front of under-represented provinces to raise awareness and pressure? So please:
1. Can Alberta initiate and invite the other three Western Premiers to form a united task force to inform all Canadians about the great inequities that now prevail (as can be partially seen in the appended map and chart below)? Let us appeal to and trust in the fairness principle that guides most Canadians — the fairness principle that has been offended so much of late by the Feds and some of our trading partners — a fairness principle that, in the present mood, could sweep over and reform our country if we choose leaders of courage, transparency, and integrity — if we restored justice and judgment in the halls of power.
2. Why, in this time of increasing patriotism and determination to defend Canada against unjust and false narratives, would Alberta choose to pursue or threaten separatism? — to become a pariah, a scapegoat, a target for anger, bitterness, and hatred for abandoning Canada in this hour of great need? for helping destroy a nation that has been such a blessing to so many for over a century? Why make possession of an Alberta license plate a trigger for retaliation?
3. Why, when we are making strides in our own nation to abolish internal tariffs, would we raise the spectre of creating more foreign borders?
4. The Canadian unity and pride witnessed by the world during the Canadian Truckers’ Freedom Convoy of 2022 is still with us and now recently reinvigorated with the unjust tariff conflict. Millions of Canadians love Alberta and dream of moving here because we presently have strong, courageous leadership that is devoted to defending our rights and freedoms and to keeping us strong and free, so why would we not join forces with the other under-represented provinces to fight for a confederate restructuring so our great nation can survive and prosper?
5. Please do not ignore the catastrophic consequences that Alberta and Canada will suffer if Alberta chooses to go-it-alone instead of uniting with other advocates for restructuring in pursuit of fairness, equality, and integrity. Let us never ask Albertans (or any Canadian) to vote for separatism as the “best or only” means or leverage to save Canada. There are other, more healthy, ways to pursue fairness and unity.
6. And please do not be seduced by U.S.ian promises or appearances. The oligarchic “doge” system* that has been wending its way through the powerful nations since medieval Venice has captured and corrupted so much of what was remarkable and exceptional in the U.S. Their government corruptions, combined with their greater power, are even deeper than ours, and if we think the 180 surface we’re allowed to see is all there is, we will not comprehend the sudden collapse if they (and we) do not restore justice and judgment 360.
7. There are millions of good, honorable people in both our nations who desire a return to integrity and fairness in government, so please let us join forces with our Canadian brothers and sisters to pursue an honourable solution to the inequities that have unfolded and increased over time. Let Alberta be a leader and unifier.
Sincerely,
SM Smith
