More than a few participants and readers of this web site will welcome the words of one university professor from Alberta who says: “Let’s get while the getting’s good.”
That’s the title of an article by Leon Craig, professor emeritus of political science at U. Alberta in his opinion piece, which columnist Lynk Byfield writes about today in the good Calgary Sun.
Professor Craig is still trying to get it published. Talk like separation—unless it’s Quebec separation—is still a hot potato in Canada, but I think the potato is cooling down. Send it over, Professor! We’ll post it.
Lynk Byfield writes:
Any attempt to create a new federalism, even in the West, he believes will fail. If other western provinces, or parts of provinces, want to join Alberta, by becoming part of it, they should be welcomed.
All that binds Albertans to Canada, he concludes, is sentiment—an attachment to Canada’s once-illustrious military and pioneer past, and to our own provincial part in it.
We must now face the fact that the old Canada is gone forever and the new Canada is disgusting.
So what are we to make of all this?
It’s hard to argue against his analysis of the problem.
The Trudeau delusion that you can build a credible nation with “national social programs” is so shallow it’s absurd.
