	Alberta separatism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Alberta separatism arises from the belief held by some that Alberta is culturally distinct from the rest of Canada, and particularly from Eastern Canada, and from the belief that Alberta is harmed economically by providing financial support to other provinces through the federal transfer payment program.
		Gordon Kesler was elected to the Legislative Assembly of Alberta in a by-election in Olds-Didsbury as a candidate of the Western Canada Concept party[1].
		The party's popularity declined after the Progressive Conservative Party, led by Brian Mulroney, defeated Prime Minister John Turner as in the 1984 federal election although the WCC still managed a strong third place showing in another by-election in Spirit River-Fairview held in 1985.

		I also discovered only that the SPA has taken steps to distance itself from Doug Christie and his brand of separatism, a welcome development.
		In the last Alberta election, the SPA recieved 0.5% of the vote.
		Thank you for articulating the “awakenings” of the first generation of Canadians who now fully understand the confederal inequity the west has been burdened with since the original confederal agreement was unilaterally corrupted by a liberal federal regime 25 years ago.

	Margret Kopala - Article, Ottawa Citizen, July 10, 2004
		The Reform Party of Alberta was created as a shell organization to meet two objectives: the first, to allow Calgary academic Ted Morton and farmer Bert Brown to run for Alberta’s would-be Senate seats; the second to ensure no provincial party could use the Reform name.
		Along with the traditional parties, a spate of Alberta Agenda and quasi separatist parties have sprouted, their zeal refueled by the federal election results and Klein’s intervention.
		The Alberta Party may not field candidates but Bruce Hutton’s Separation Party of Alberta expects to run eleven candidates, five of them in the Calgary area.

		While most members of these fringe parties have never been and will never be card-carrying Progressive Conservatives, many of them do hope to win over traditional PC supporters by offering a right-wing alternative to the party that has governed the province for the last 33 years.
		Ultimately, much like the Reform Party did at the federal level, the Alberta Party hopes to implement aspects of direct democracy such as recalls, referenda and citizens’ initiatives to improve the state of democracy in Alberta.
		While the sheer number of fringe parties in Alberta may be misleading, the amount of media attention these parties receive may also be deceptive.

		As for separation are you aware that within an hour of Quebec separating their borders would have been posted by Canadian soldiers and it would have ment civil war.
		Don't kid yourself it would be the same for Alberta, as a matter of fact was it not Peter Lawheeds (sorry I don't know how to spell his last name) government that mentioned separation and had the federal government impose the national energy act that shut down Alberta in the start of the 80's.
		I openly talked about Alberta separation from Ottawa, but many are prepared to maintain the Status Quo, as their patriotism stands in the way of prudent fiscal incentives.

	Katrina: Thankfully it didn't hit Canada on the long weekend
		Alberta can make the most compelling case re financial rip-offs by Central Canada any province in Canada, and so it is little wonder that a “Separation Party of Alberta” has been created.
		With these statistics, it is a wonder that the Separation Party of Canada is not the party elected to run the Alberta government today, and that a referendum citing these statistics has not been held five years ago in the interests of the real interests of Albertans.
		The Separation Party of Alberta is simply the logical political outcome of the statistics and reasons quoted so forcefully on its website.

		For a party that is not yet one year old and has little money, membership in the Alberta Separation Party is already up to about 1,000.
		The main reason Stronach gave for leaving the party she once fought to lead and helped give birth to just one year ago is she's concerned "that lining up with the Bloc is not good for Canada to defeat this budget and to trigger an election."
		Hutton contends that most Canadians don't understand Alberta at all and how once passionate lovers of this country -- like him -- can grow so frustrated and concerned for the future of their children that they believe separation is the only option.

	Re-lighting the pilot of separatism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		In pandering to Quebecers and allowing that province to have distinctively separate programs, apart from the rules to which the other provinces must adhere, Martin has reignited the possibility of Quebec’s separation.
		Alberta in particular is unhappy in that between 1961 and 1992 Albertans have paid $139 billion more to Ottawa than they have received in services in return.
		Alberta’s separatists are much more serious about leaving confederation than Quebec’s separatists because they have lots more to lose and little to gain by staying.

	Werner Patels - The Alberta Spectator: November 2006 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		For Alberta to opt out of equalization, Albertans would have to stop paying federal income taxes and that in turn would mean that Alberta would have to separate.
		Such a move might strengthen the Alberta Alliance a bit, but wouldn’t do anything to improve its electoral chances: the majority of Albertans consider it a fringe party, and a vote for the Alberta Alliance is a wasted vote.
		Additionally, a Liberal Party led by Ignatieff would most certainly increase votes for the NDP, because the traditional swing voter who keeps alternating between Liberals and NDP from one election to the next would not be able to stomach Ignatieff.
