The Buffalo Declaration, which was posted online on Thursday, was signed by Michelle Rempel Garner and three other Conservative MPs from Alberta

. It lays out grievances about Alberta’s treatment that date back to before it was a province and lists more than a dozen demands to address them. The proposals range from Senate reform – a long-standing goal for Canadian conservatives – to recognition that Alberta is “culturally distinct.”Ms. Rempel Garner, who has not responded to interview requests, is considering running for the Conservative leadership.

“A lot of people are going to come to the table with a lot of different ideas and a lot of commentary. All of it underscores that the frustration of this province is deep and genuine.” Mr. Kenney’s United Conservative Party government came to power last year on a campaign that tapped into anger within Alberta, whose economy has suffered under several years of low oil prices. Last fall, he struck a panel to examine a series of ideas designed to give the province more autonomy, such as by starting its own pension plan, creating a provincial police force and collecting its own taxes.

Alberta NDP Leader Rachel Notley, who served one term as premier until last year’s election, accused the MPs pushing the Buffalo Declaration of stoking the flames of separation and said the document is “riddled with historic and factual inaccuracies.”

No it only reflects the political ambitions of some real losers

Here’s a trial balloon... I wonder if all 600 native bands would accept Alberta & all its resources in exchange for dropping all claims against Canada. Albertans & AFN natives - no one whines more than those 2 groups! Well maybe Quebec does!

Anti-Canadian garbage. Alienation? Live somewhere else, anywhere else, and realize how good you have it, spoiled brat.

That’s $16.4B The Federal Liberals have pumped into the Alberta economy since 2018. Not to mention the $4B in handouts Kenney harassed out of the Fed. Don’t ever say Ottawa never gave AB anything! Canada keeps giving. Alberta keeps taking and complaining.

Alberta is living in the past! Canada is a 21st century country with a 21st century economy, that’s on a role! While Alberta plays footsie with a club of old men stuck in the past.

Oh jkenney you silly man. You have no clue

Lol, the Canadian province that had it all more than once because of our oil economy. They're pityfull! OIL IS HISTORY!

Alberta ends long-standing master agreement with doctors, new rules to be in place April 1Changes include new fee rules on extended patient visits that doctors have already said will devastate the bottom line for some family and rural practices In the end it's the patients who suffer. No two patients visit are the same, of course some are more complex. Don't be surprised if our Drs move to greener pastures. Attack on Albertans, plain and simple. UCP plan is always to eliminate healthcare services. The services they do keep are always placed further out of the reach of patients. Citizens of Alberta, you will need to pay out of pocket for anything that resembles modern care.
