		After a proposal for Quebec independence was narrowly defeated in the 1995 Quebec referendum, the Liberals passed the "Clarity Act" which outlines the federal government's preconditions for negotiating provincial independence.
		The Liberal Party was reduced from a majority to a minority government due, in part, to a ChrÃ©tien-era scandal in which advertising agencies supporting the Liberal Party received grossly inflated commissions for their services.
		In April, 2005 David Kilgour, one of the party's two MPs from Alberta announced that he was leaving the party to sit as an independent member of the House of Commons due to the damaging allegations of corruption in the Liberal Party's Quebec wing based on testimony in the Gomery Commission inquiry.

		Harper, the first Treaty Indian to serve in the Manitoba legislature, was strongly supported by aboriginal leaders such as Phil Fontaine and Ovide Mercredi, and continued his protest in the legislature during the following weeks.

	The NorthWest Independencer Heart of the Old NorthWest,
		A major challenge for the western independence movement is to articulate the connection between the ill health of the rural Saskatchewan economy and the perennially stunted growth of Saskatchewan cities.
		The opportunity for the independence movement in the Saskatchewan countryside was created by the ideological disposition of successive provincial governments to side with or defer to, the government in Ottawa and its policy of central planning of the agricultural sector.
		The western independence movement will survive the diatribes and flourish, if only because the substance of the attacks is so ill founded, poorly researched and at odds with commonly understood standards of fairness and decency.

	MHS Transactions: John Taylor and the Pioneer Icelandic Settlement in Manitoba
		However, the cherished dream of the people was the establishment of an Icelandic colony with sufficient room and free land for future immigration from Iceland, and by the spring of 1875 it had become apparent that there was no territory in the Free Grant area of Ontario suitable for a large colony.
		He readily agreed to finance an exploratory party to Manitoba, to be headed by John Taylor, with two delegates chosen by the settlers.
		During the summer of 1876, perhaps half the population of the colony went south to Manitoba for employment, in Winnipeg and on farms.

	History of the Western Canada Concept
		The Western Canada Concept was launched by a speaking tour of Western Canada in 1980 just as Doug Christie had launched the Committee for Western Independence in 1978.
		The party became four parties, one in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and B.C. Now, 4 years after that rally on November 20, 1980, some sort of semblance of unity is starting to appear.
		This Western Canadian country, with a regionally representative elected Senate, one language, one government, free trade with the world, ample resources of fishery, forestry, mining and agriculture, would be the richest and most freedom-loving nation of the world.

	Western Independence Party
		WIPBC has renamed itself the Refederation Party of BC (RefedBC) and now promotes political changes within Canada as its preference, with western independence being an option only if its campaign for political change is unsuccessful.
		RefedBC has drafted the text of a Constitution of BC and the text of a BC Direct Democracy Act based on the Swiss model, both aimed at creating what it describes as a de jure (lawful) BC government.
		The party claims that Canada's central government and the Supreme Court of Canada are both "de facto" (unlawful), arguing that Canada has no lawful constitution (the Constitution Act of 1982 not qualifying as such), and thus that its government, as presently constituted is illegal.

	Institute of Island Studies
		A government is formed by the party winning a majority of seats in the legislature; if no party wins a majority, the party winning the greatest number of seats governs as a minority, or several parties that collectively hold a majority of the seats may govern in coalition.
		Further, the freezing out of smaller parties is not necessarily synonymous with discouraging "extremism." But keeping small parties out of the legislature can serve the interests of large established parties, which is one reason parties in power are often reluctant to tamper with the plurality system that brought them to power.
		Each party's seat entitlement is calculated according to its proportional list vote; the number of constituency seats the party wins is subtracted from this total, and the result is the number of list seats to which the party is entitled.

	Why Independence is Necessary
		Soon after shifting from a western regional party to a "national" party as Reform became more concerned with becoming the government, they realized this idea could not be made popular in Ontario, which had all the seats they needed to win the government.
		There is a niceness to the presentation of a "national" party representative or appointee and a cranky reticence to recognize anyone who represents a block or region outside of Ontario.
		Ottawa prefers to view western resources, be they oil, r fish or forest or grain, as a cash cow to exploit and reallocate to voters in the populated areas of Ontario and Quebec where that wealth translates into political power for them in Ottawa.
