Rebellion in the North: Western Canadian Province Passes 'Sovereignty Act,' Challenges Federal Rule

Lawmakers in Alberta, the largely rural Canadian province situated above Montana, have recently rejected Canadian authoritarianism headed by WEF puppet Justin Trudeau — the open admirer of Chinese-style communism who recently called public protests against his iron-fisted rule “troublesome.”

Via The Guardian:

Alberta has passed a controversial “sovereignty act” that could allow the province to ignore federal laws, setting the stage for a combative relationship with the Canadian prime minister, Justin Trudeau, and tense relations with Indigenous leaders.

Shortly after midnight on Thursday, the governing United Conservative party passed Bill 1, the Alberta Sovereignty Within a United Canada Act, after weeks of criticism over the proposed law – and only after stripping away a contentious provision that would have allowed the provincial cabinet the power to bypass the legislature and rewrite laws.

The essence of the law is to give local jurisdictions — schools, police departments, municipal bodies, etc. — the legal greenlight to disregard federal decrees like draconian COVID-19 restrictions. So the next time Canada’s mini-Castro tries to lock the whole country down from Ottawa, the people of Alberta would at least have some legal authority to reject his edicts.

As the corporate media reporting on this have gleefully noted, there is very little success of Alberta’s challenge to the federal government’s (which serves as a wholly co-opted proxy for WEF) hegemony surviving legal scrutiny. Federal power is too fully entrenched through legal fiat for provincial renegade bills to pass muster.

The law, instead, is representative of a shift in the public consciousness and a harbinger of things to come.

For the life of me, I do not understand why First Nations leaders support the Ottawa government at all — unless they’re being paid off.

One can hope.

American States (particularly the first 13) possessed self-government BEFORE ratification of the Constitution, and did not surrender it upon ratification.

Canadian provinces, and their Confederation (except, I believe, Newfoundland) are creations of the UK Parliament and did not possess any aspect of sovereignty prior to entry into Canada.

I hope Saskatchewan and Manitoba will join Alberta’s resistance. I doubt BC will, but 8 wonder if western Ontario would join.

The rail lines, the pipelines and the Trans-Canada Hwy all go thru Alberta. Shame if they had some problems.

Western Canada has moved one step closer to becoming part of the U.S.

Maybe the sane Provinces and the sane States will united to form a sane nation, quarantining its citizens from the insane regions as they collapse and fall under the weight of their own decadence.

When the binding between a province/state and the federal govt becomes soo restrictive in causing loss of freedom and economic well being then it becomes the right/duty of that state to separate for the good of its people.

This will only work if the Western provinces are willing to use force against the oppressors.

I spend and have spent a lot of time in First Nation areas of Alaska and Yukon Territory. I don’t know much about Yukon Territory but from talking to many first nation people in Alaska face to face including one chief I can say that Alaska has few roads and few bridges and few private property owners for a reason. And, that reason is the First Nation politics are STRONG and they don’t want growth unless they get paid BIGLY for it.
