What is the Buffalo Declaration and why did they call it ‘Buffalo’?

The Buffalo Declaration, a manifesto written and signed by four Conservative members of Parliament from Alberta, declares a path forward for the province within the confederation of Canada and outlines ways to soothe Alberta’s alienation from the rest of the country.Back in the early 1900s, Sir Frederick Haultain, the first premier of the Northwest Territories, had an idea for a new Canadian province comprised of what would become Alberta and Saskatchewan.

The 13-page, nearly 6,000 word document outlines the history of western alienation, what the authors identify as the root causes and issues with Confederation, and makes several recommendations on how to improve relations with the west.So there are four basic concerns: Alberta isn’t an equal partner in Confederation; Alberta isn’t recognized as culturally distinct; Alberta is isolated from power; and Alberta is treated as a colony.

Mainly mocked by people in Ontario and Quebec, and urban Vancouver...so everyone causing these problems in the first place 🙃

WEXIT now.

Buffalo jump head smashed in

I thought that it was because “buffalo” can be used as a verb meaning “bully”.

Western alienation is just form of a bitterness from CPC_HQ supporters in Western Canada anytime conservatives lose elections. A form of it is violent and visceral like the one who greeted the PMs with nooses while holding Michelle Rampell's reelection campaign posters.

Always wondered why anyone would give a crap about these divisive losers. Anytime conservatives are not in gov't you always get this nonsense from some CPC_HQ MPs in Western Canada. There is nothing like western alienation. Much of stephenharper's gov't was western based.

Blue wave. Of tears. A tsunami of tears.
