Conservative MPs split over Buffalo Declaration that says Alberta referendum is inevitable

This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.Conservative members of Parliament agree that Albertans are facing challenges, but are divided over a document created by four Tory MPs who warn a referendum on separation is inevitable unless the province’s grievances are addressed.

The document includes more than a dozen proposals, including constitutional changes to “balance representation” in Parliament, such as overhauling the Senate; the repeal of environmental legislation such as C-69; expanded free trade between provinces; and the creation of a national energy corridor, which was a Conservative campaign promise; and changes to the equalization formula.

Ms. Kusie said she pressed for more information after one of the individuals who signed the declaration said they would be releasing policy proposals on Alberta, but she was given “essentially no information” on the specifics of the document. She told The Globe and Mail that she would not be commenting further on the declaration.

Mike Lake, who represents Edmonton-Wetaskiwin, said the document reflects what he hears on the ground.

globepolitics Split over treason? What an interesting concept.

globepolitics Western MPs understand;eastern MPs hide their heads in the sand.

globepolitics Hmm, a national party is split over whether Canada is worth preserving as a nation. I guess if enough Conservatives go along with the Buffalo Declaration, they'd be a separatist party like the BQ. Certainly clarifies who to vote for next time.

globepolitics A referendum is inevitable and will clear the air, one way or the other.

globepolitics That's enough - it is an integral part of Canada, Alberta belongs to Canada, it's natural resources belong to Canada, it's people are Canadian - end of story. To give any credit to the idea that Alberta can separate from Canada is utterly ridiculous, and a waste of time.

globepolitics Dear Conservatives everywhere: Start talking about something that matters. In a way that benefits all Canadians, and not just the interests of the Conservative Party. Such as.....

globepolitics Let them have their referendum. My view is simple, if Canada is divisible so is Alberta.
