The Honourable Arthur Wellesley
Minister of Future Sovereignty
Dear Minister:
I want to thank you for your service to this government, and congratulate you on your new role as Minister of Future Sovereignty.
Our Cabinet is made up of talented, diverse, and experienced leaders and I am proud to share with you our responsibility to fulfill the mandate given to us by Albertans. We all love this beautiful province, and want the best for our families and our future. Over the next four years, we will take clear and decisive action to grow and diversify our economy while ensuring our health, education and other core social programs are world class. I have full confidence that our team will build on our solid foundation of stability, informed decision-making, and good governance to improve the lives of Albertans and help our province realize its potential. Under your leadership as Minister of Future Sovereignty, I expect you to work closely with your Cabinet and Caucus colleagues and the public service through the committee, Cabinet, and legislative processes to deliver on the following initiatives for Albertans:
As lead, working with the Minister of Communications and Public Engagement, and the Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Services to develop contingency plans for Confederation’s demise at the hands of those Bon Jacks east of the Ottawa River.
We may well be on our own after the next Quebec referendum; we will no longer have Ottawa to guide us. Doubtless, the Laurentian Elite will be a hard act to follow, so we must begin now to prepare for self governance. Minister! Let’s not be caught flat footed. Bring your considerable weight to bear on the challenge I set before you: Review Canada’s constitution with respect to the Powers of Parliament, and prepare Albertans to run their own country. Let me get you started:
Public Debt Actually this one won’t be that tough. Someone left Canada’s credit card out, and during one Prime Minister’s tenure federal per-person debt increased by 35.3 percent between 2015 and 2022. That’s right, Canada’s debt was up to $47,070 per Canadian. (Really, it’s no wonder those Quebecers want to get out of Dodge.) For contrast, our provincial debt was $12 billion less than it was the previous year. And look at the wealth in our Heritage Savings Trust Fund! So, in this regard we’ll just keep on keepin’ on.
