Alberta passes Sovereignty Act - challenges Canadian federal authority | Eastern NC Now

will allow province and its local governments to ignore Canadian federal laws

ENCNow

Western Canada's oil-rich province of Alberta is challenging the authority of the Canadian federal government.  Its parliament has just passed the Alberta Sovereignty Act which allows the provinicial government and all of the local governments within it to ignore Canadian federal laws if they find they are adverse to the interests of Alberta citizens.

The Act was sponsored by Alberta's new premier, Danielle Smith of the United Conservative Party, and passed by a vote of 27 to 7.   Trudeau's Liberal Party failed to win a single federal parliamentary seat in Alberta in the last federal election.

Alberta is already one of multiple provinces that has told Canadian prime minister Trudeau that they will not enforce his new gun control laws.  It is also a hotbed of the Wexit (Western Exit) movement which seeks to form a new country out of Canada's four western provinces, independent of the Ottawa regime.

Alberta's sovereignty challenge to Trudeau may have more going for it than would appear. As one of those articles speculates, the courts would likely strike it down. But Canada has something the US does not, and that is a precedent allowing provinces to vote on independence (secession) from Canada. That was established by allowing Quebec a referendum on that subject which was only narrowly voted down. Alberta's premier is openly speaking of achieving sovereignty either inside Canada or outside it. If Trudeau moves in the courts against Alberta's Sovereignty Act, he may well trigger the secession of Alberta. And if Alberta goes, how long would Manitoba and Saskatchewan remain? British Ckolumbia would also be questionable. Alberta, if they maintain their backbone, may be playing a much stronger hand than appears on the surface.
