Offsite Post: ‘Alberta Has Given the States an Early Christmas Present’

 

Some folks in the US might be tempted from time to time to reword the Apostle Nathanael’s question (St. John’s Gospel 1:46) and ask, ‘Can anything good come out of Canada?’

That would be a tad presumptuous, based, if nothing else, only on the following.  The Province of Alberta has a new premier (similar to the governors of our States), Danielle Smith, and she is doing excellent work there.  First, she rooted out the globalist World Economic Forum from Alberta’s health care system.  Now she is using the powers of the provincial government to shield Alberta’s people from the harmful policies of the tyrannical Prime Minister Trudeau and the rest of the federal government in Ottawa.

Bill 1, ‘Alberta Sovereignty within a United Canada Act,’ is well on its way to becoming law in Alberta.  Here is a little of its backstory:

 

The now-passed Sovereignty Act intends to prevent “unconstitutional” federal government overreach into matters of provincial jurisdiction, including but not limited to “firearms, energy, natural resources and COVID healthcare decisions.”

 

Smith had introduced the legislation, formally named Bill 1: Alberta Sovereignty within a United Canada Act, just nine days before its passing.

 

The bill will most notably help the province push back against federally-imposed rules that impact the region’s oil and gas sector, a major backbone of the western Canadian economy.

 

At the time of its introduction, the government explained that the act “will be used to push back on federal legislation and policy that is unconstitutional or harmful to our province, our people and our economic prosperity,” with Smith herself explaining that there is a “long and painful history of mistreatment and constitutional overreach from Ottawa has for decades caused tremendous frustration for Albertans.”

The Preamble of the Act is worth quoting in full:
