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.
