QAnon Premier of Alberta (without mandate) introduces Alberta Sovereignty Act, which allows province to ignore federal laws and declare federal laws unconstitutional

Danielle Smith’s Alberta ‘sovereignty’ act introduces sweeping new powers to resist Ottawa

---

The bill introduced Tuesday would let the cabinet order entities connected to the provincial government to ignore federal rules, but the new Alberta Sovereignty within a United Canada Act been a lightning rod for criticism.

 

 

Massively, massively unconstitutional. Daniel Smith is an anti-vaxxer MLA who won leadership of the United Conservative Party of Alberta (and government) after the previous regular-shitstain-right-wing Premier resigned. She and her cabal of QAnon weirdos are now pushing their conspiracy theories on the province of 4.5 million.

 

This new act would allow a few key (unconstitutional) things:

• Allow the province to ignore "harmful" federal policies
• Allows cabinet ministers to issue directives to provincial entities (including municipal law enforcement, schools, etc) to ignore federal laws
  • It should be noted that all criminal law in Canada is under federal jurisdiction
• Allows cabinet ministers to unilaterally change provincial legislation without a vote in the legislature
• Allows Alberta to declare federal laws unconstitutional
• Makes Albertan government non-liable for anything done under the act, including non-liable under laws outside Albertan jurisdiction (i.e. federal laws)
• Changes dates for judicial review of new Alberta laws from 6 months to 30 days

 

Key things to note about this Premier and Alberta at the moment:

• She has not been elected to a provincial mandate in a general election
• Her party is trailing in the polls for the 2023 election to the social democratic party (NDP)

I thought this was a thing freaks in the US were into but I guess it's probably easier to get done in Canada.

Definitely easier to hijack government in Canada (in the short-term), but also harder in the long-term. Because Canadian provinces only have one House of government (legislature), and because the executive is derived from whoever controls the legislature, all it takes is a single election to do whatever you want in power, there are no checks. But by the same token, all it takes to undo anything is another election. And because redistricting in Canada is controlled by non-political groups (non-partisan committees made up of retired judges, political scientists, etc), you can't gerrymander your way into remaining in power if you do something unpopular. This is one of the reasons why Canada sees such large partisan vote swings compared to the US.

I really hope Alberta kicks her and her party out next election and brings back Notley & the NDP. It seems like Alberta isn't happy with the UPC for a while so there is a good chance NDP wins.

Foreigners not respecting our sovereign borders, what a shock.

The best thing about wexit is that it includes a giant swathe of BC. without consultation. It's like someone blind sat on a map and that was going to be territory.
