Alberta Separatists' Hidden Agenda: Dismantling the Social Contract
The Alberta separatist movement has been shrouded in mystery, but its underlying agenda is clear: to dismantle the social contract that has governed life in Canada since World War I.
The social contract, born from democratic ideals of the 18th century, aims to balance corporate power with public accountability and promote equality of opportunity. However, Alberta separatists, spearheaded by the UCP government, have been quietly pushing for an agenda that prioritizes market sovereignty over social welfare.
This agenda is rooted in the ideology of the Reform Party, which rode the wave of western alienation into Parliament in 1992. The party's vision for a good society is based on free-market capitalism, championed by Ronald Reagan. By detaching sovereignty from a social contract committed to reducing inequality, Alberta separatists aim to create a market-driven economy where corporations hold sway.
The UCP government, led by Danielle Smith, has been actively advancing this agenda since its election in 2019. Separatists and corporate interests share a vision of Alberta's future, where magical market forces will bring prosperity while public institutions are diminished to serve corporate objectives.
