Paper 1: The New Alberta
I remember the golden goal, the I AM CANADIAN commercial, and putting a flag on my backpack when I traveled Europe.
I remember talking to my grandpa about fighting in World War II. I remember the minute of silence in school on November 11 at 11am as we remembered all the soldiers who died, including those in the Somme and on Vimy Ridge.
Independence does not question your pride in what Canada was. It questions whether that Canada still exists…
Paper 2: Canada has Fallen
Canada has fallen. A government that does not have to earn your trust is not held accountable. Left unchecked, the decay compounds. No mechanism inside the system reverses it. What follows is why.
In the 1990s, one income, a teacher, tradesman or nurse, supported a family. A house with a yard. Annual vacations. Summer camp. 30 years later, that income does not support that lifestyle. Two incomes often do not either…
Paper 3: Two Paths to Independence
Countries are created when people stop believing the institutions above them represent them. They find the courage to take action.
The world map is fluid. Borders move. Canadians assume Canada’s borders are permanent. History and common sense say otherwise. The European map of 1990 differs from the map of today. The Soviet Union, Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia are gone…

They rely on the false idea that the world is static and parties would not establish new (and better) agreements with a Free Alberta. From first principles, countries will continue to want what Alberta can create and we will sell it. Switzerland is landlocked. Austria, Luxembourg, and Botswana are also landlocked…
Paper 5: The first 1000 Days
Our work starts well before declaring independence. Nations that declare before they prepare pay for it later with currency collapse and years of uncertainty. Our work has already begun.
We have established international relationships for recognition of a Free Alberta. Recognition will follow the will of the people, shown through a decisive vote…
Paper 6: The Constitution of New Alberta
The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, sets out in the first line:
“Whereas Canada is founded upon principles that recognize the supremacy of God and the rule of law:”
Yet it feels as though both God and the rule of law are absent in Canada today…
Paper 7: The New Alberta Dollar
A nation's currency is the foundation of cooperation and trust. The most common way a nation fails is by issuing too much government debt, which leads to inflation and a lowering quality of life (as we see currently in Canada)
To protect against excess government debt, we are launching the Alberta Dollar ($AD)…
