Is there any chance that the Alberta provincial government will secede from Canada? If not, it would appear that the only alternative is to start organizing an armed militia, hopefully including members of what's left of the Canadian military, with the ultimate goal to win freedom from the illegitimate regime in Ottawa without resorting to major bloodshed. I doubt that a stupid, clueless, leftist party hack like Chretien would have the guts to face down a rebellion of significant size and force.

Another effective form of civil disobedience would be to evade taxes on a massive scale. A large enough percentage of the population refusing to pay any taxes to the Ottawa regime could likewise help bring about its downfall. I hope freedom-loving Canadians like yourself are able to get your country back. I wonder how sandbox totalitarians like Chretien got into control. If they are not removed, things will only continue to get worse - much worse.

Thanks to all for the kind sentiments.

Re: Alberta separation - the poll numbers are still low (<10%), but that could change in the next few years. If the federal government continues to treat Western Canada as a milch cow, and the recently-rammed-through Kyoto accord negatively impacts oil-producing Alberta (highly possible!), the change could happen very quickly. Personally, I'd also like BC to separate, forming an independent country WITH Alberta.

BTW, a few years back, the CIA did a study of which provinces could successfully survive on their own - and concluded only BC and Alberta had the resources to do it.
