Alberta’s government legitimizes others ready to discount or sabotage any authority of the federal government that they think is an imposition. Opinion by Calvin White

In these times of overflowing information and saturated attention spans, I wonder how many realize the dangerous ramifications ofBy painting this legislation as necessary to protect Alberta’s citizens from federal control, the direct implication is that the federal government cannot be trusted by its citizens. When a provincial government loudly articulates such an assertion, it ruptures our social contract between the governed and the governors, and directly undermines our shared democracy.

It should make all of us soberly ask ourselves what we want as a country. In doing so, it ought to become evident that the so-called “sovereignty act” amounts to a threat to our democratic reality. The reasoning and accusations come from a major component of the structure of Canada’s democracy. With these impending actions, Alberta’s government legitimizes others ready to discount or sabotage any authority of the federal government that they think is an imposition!

That is why, when the Alberta premier so casually uses the charged and damning language of rebellion, she either inadvertently or knowingly signals to every critic and malcontent in the country that they should also feel free to go in the their own direction.

Star is the left arm of Liberal Propoganda Machine and the CBC is the right. Mind your own business.

Shut Trudeau down. He will only use you to unfairly fund his baby Quebec. Canadians have to put a stop to him.

Hey Toronto Star, leave your opinions in Ontario where it belongs. We aren't interested in your opinions and how you think about Alberta.

Another opinion article from Ontario bashing Alberta, shocker.

Good!

I wouldn’t say “Imposition” rather I would say “Inappropriate”

The Supreme Court of Canada will make short work of this ridiculous assault on federalism.

When the crooks, shisters, cultists, and fools are running the show in Ottawa, any opposing tactics are acceptable

entitled little *******

Like Fascistic mandates which force people to get experimental harmful jabs or lose your job? To lock down society and have children miss life saving screenings and surgeries. Gee I wonder why Provinces want to ignore the Child PM

Gud

Imagine calling decentralization of power authoritarian.

Why doesn’t Alberta just leave Canada and get it over with

Glad to finally see someone standing up against JustinTrudeau and the liberal_party who are destroying Canada. TrudeauIsDestroyingCanada TrudeauWorstPMEver TrudeauLiberalsHaveGotToGo

This is what happens when you have a fascist pos in Ottawa.

This is a(n) (il)legal Freedumb Convoy and must be stopped. AND seen to be stopped. To be part of Canada you must follow the constitutional rules we all follow. That’s the deal Alberta accepted when it joined confederation.

Just remember the great power of a democracy “ self fulfilling prophecy“ Think twice and be careful what you do.

Terrible take. Provinces should take back the powers they were granted.
