Alberta Premier Jason Kenney delivers his address to the Alberta United Conservative Party annual general meeting in Calgary, Alta., Saturday, Nov. 30, 2019.Alberta Premier Jason Kenney is preparing to take his demands for a “fair deal” for his province on the road — first to a gathering of his fellow premiers and then to his first meeting with the Prime Minister since the federal election.
“I will be bringing your message directly to the Council of the Federation with all of Canada’s premiers in Toronto and to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau when I meet him in Ottawa,” he said in an hour-long speech. During a panel on Mr. Kenney’s “fair deal” panel, party members gave near-unanimous endorsements to all of the major ideas up for consideration.Those include leaving the Canadian Pension Plan in favour of creating a provincial plan; setting up a provincial revenue agency; establishing a provincial police force; taking a more active role in provincial affairs; and creating a provincial firearms officer.
For example, Finance Minister Travis Toews told party members that Quebec provides a clear model for creating its own pension plan, which he said would allow the province to “repatriate” money Albertans have already contributed to the CPP and take control over its investments.

UCP members show overwhelming support for ideas to give Alberta more autonomyInformal straw polls were taken on the idea of Alberta establishing its own tax collection agency, pension plan, police force, trade relationships and firearms watchdog I’d like to give them FULL autonomy! I would like to see the financing on such imitative. The tax collection will mean added to the current in order to collect and process personal tax returns. Curious how that reconciles with “we have a spending problem”. Just asking I want to secede from this damn country. I want to evacuate it! Alberta should leave if they want to.
