Just one more example of why Alberta should leave. This is the way Canada works now - and Alberta too. Its impartial officials regard one side as illegitimate. Turns a blind eye to the other. Escape the Canada that is outside Alberta. Purge the Canada that is inside Alberta.
Keith Wilson@ikwilson

A healthy democracy depends on election officials applying the law impartially, consistently, and without favour. When the pro-independence side faces intense scrutiny while Lukasuk's Foreever Canadian campaign is given a free pass to solicit out-of-province donations, exceed contribution limits and conceal its donors, public confidence in @ElectionsAlberta is inevitably lost. The Chief Electoral Officer and his officials must restore equal enforcement immediately—or resign.

America has transformed from a limited republic into a managerial state dominated by unelected bureaucrats, through a series of key historical decisions that expanded federal power. @PardyBruce breaks down the steps that eroded separation of powers, individual liberty, and democratic accountability: · The “Necessary and Proper Clause” (1788); · The Pendleton Act - created a permanent civil service (1883); · The Federal Reserve and income tax (1913); · New Deal expansion of government (1930s); · Chevron deference (1984) - let agencies interpret their own powers. eurasiareview.com/17072026-how-t…

"The United States Constitution was revolutionary. “A republic,” Benjamin Franklin is reported to have said, “if you can keep it.” They couldn’t. The seeds of the nation’s downfall are in the document itself. The Constitution does not prescribe an administrative state, but nor does it prevent one. Instead of a republic governed by the rule of law, America is now planned, directed and supervised. Broad discretion in the hands of a technocratic managerial class has become the foundation of American government." @PardyBruce brucepardy.substack.com/p/how-the-amer…

A huge shout out to Shawn Buckley, Leighton Grey, and Bruce Pardy for educating those who are at the forefront of the Alberta Independence drive! Best three part series and educational lectures on Canadian constitutional law, fee simple law, aboriginal title, and common law I have ever heard on the current state of legal affairs within Canada’s first post national state. Well worth the time investment.

America was meant to be the land of the free—limited government, checks & balances, Bill of Rights. Instead: a managed society where bureaucrats rule. The slide? Necessary & Proper “blank check” Pendleton’s untouchable civil service Flexner’s medical cartel Fed + income tax (1913) New Deal welfare Killing the gold standard Civil Rights regulating private life Chevron deference COVID’s peak tyranny The Constitution didn’t stop it. We lost the republic. Read the “director’s cut” version of Professor @PardyBruce’s take on why the American republic lost its way ~ via @brownstoneinst ⬇️ brownstone.org/articles/how-t…

One thing I have been trying to reconcile is this: On the political left, many argue that the government is failing them, so they want bigger government to fix the problems. On the political right, many see serious problems, but their conclusion is the opposite: government is the problem, and it should step back rather than take on even more responsibility. It is becoming increasingly clear that the common denominator is government itself. Yet neither side seems to spend enough time asking why government has become the common denominator in the first place. When government becomes too involved, too centralized, and reaches beyond its proper role, it becomes part of the very problem it is trying to solve. Another underlying problem is that we have gradually surrendered more and more personal responsibility, leaving us with a convenient entity to blame whenever something goes wrong: government. Take education and health care. Rather than continually demanding that governments fix broken systems, could teachers and health care professionals go back to being the entrepreneurs they once were? People will always need teachers. People will always need health care. Why remain in a system many describe as toxic if opportunities to build something better exist? Imagine giving teachers the freedom to establish schools with their own educational philosophy, standards, and culture, while allowing parents to choose the learning environment that best fits their children. Likewise, imagine health care professionals having greater freedom to innovate and deliver care outside an increasingly bureaucratic system. Instead of regulating every detail, why not trust professionals, parents, and communities with more responsibility and more choice? Was government ever meant to control every aspect of education or health care? Or have we simply become accustomed to it? I also wonder whether many people stay because the security of the government system outweighs the uncertainty of building something independently. An interesting U.S. poll recently found that voters continue to favour market-oriented ideas: “• Free-market economy: 53% favourable, 12% unfavourable (+41) • Capitalism: 49% favourable, 29% unfavourable (+20) • MAHA: 39% favourable, 33% unfavourable (+6) • Social democracy: 36% favourable, 31% unfavourable (+5)” Whether or not those numbers apply in Canada, they raise an important question: have we reached the point where government is trying to do too much? We now have people far removed from individual communities making decisions for children, families, businesses, and professionals they have never met. That level of centralization comes with real costs. Government was never meant to solve every problem. Its role is to establish the rule of law, protect rights and freedoms, provide essential public services, and ensure that the truly vulnerable have support when they need it. The citizen initiative petition and referendum process is perhaps one of the clearest examples of unnecessary government overreach. Citizens attempting to exercise one of the most direct forms of democratic participation can find themselves facing court challenges, onerous administrative obligations, and bureaucratic hurdles. That is incredibly concerning because government is supposed to take direction from the people. When citizens face obstacle after obstacle simply for attempting to lawfully participate in the democratic process, it raises a fundamental question: who is government really listening to? If citizens cannot meaningfully communicate their collective will to government, then we have lost sight of the very purpose of representative democracy. Beyond that, the best thing government can do is step back, trust citizens more, and allow individuals, families, communities, and entrepreneurs to solve the problems they are often best equipped to solve.

@RDelane45014342 @JasonLavigneAB @xpmike Thanks! Look forward to it. Government gatekeeping is coercive. Professional regulators can bar people from practice in their jurisdiction. Reputations influence but they do not coerce. People are free to believe Harvard means quality, even if that judgment is questionable.

Great idea, but given that other jurisdictions around the world are keeping the gate wouldn't it be that instead of our government setting the bar and keeping control we would then be giving control to them? Even say the US for example and let's use Even the one of the highest bars( questionable now) Harvard they still answer to one form of government or another. Wouldn't that always the benchmark? BTW, I hope one day to meet you and love to have a one on one. I think your ideas are some of the best I've ever heard.
