I am native Albertan, 70 years old and have gone from an ardent Canadian nationalist to an independence seeker.
Why?
Because I see no path to revamp the country, clean up its constitution, balance its electoral representation and fix the structural economic transfers embedded in the Charter.
I see no way for the Maritimes, Quebec, Ontario, the West and First Nations to ever come to agreement on the kind of fundamental changes necessary to "fix" Canada.
I see no interest from the rest of Canada to undo the horrid changes made by P. Trudeau that changed the highest power in the land from Parliament to the unelected courts.
So, more in sorrow than in anger, its time to leave.
Feel free to rebut my points as you see fit. To date, there has been nothing but fear-mongering in response, never concrete plans to actually fix Canada.
