“I’m running because I love Alberta. This is my home and I feel passionately that the people of this province are not being treated fairly by Ottawa. We need to push back, regain our pride, and have autonomy over our decisions. Together, let’s put Alberta First and as Premier, that is exactly what I will do.”

Alberta Sovereignty Act
Defending Alberta from Ottawa’s continuous economic and constitutional attacks against our province and my proposed Alberta Sovereignty Act have been the central issues of the UCP leadership campaign.
The majority of Albertans are frustrated with the ineffective letter writing campaigns and empty rhetoric employed by past Premiers in dealing with attacks on Alberta by our Federal Government, and want effective action to deal with the ‘Ottawa Problem’ without further delay.
Tens of thousands of Albertans have embraced the idea of the Alberta Sovereignty Act, and many more are open to learning more about how it could be practically and effectively deployed.
Unsurprisingly, many in the ‘woke’ media, entrenched interests and the political establishment do not support the idea of the Alberta Sovereignty Act and have turned to the tried and tested methods of fear mongering and disinformation to discredit the idea outright. Some, for example, have falsely equated it to separatism and the 1995 Quebec vote on leaving Canada. Others have resorted to lashing out at the idea as entirely “nuts” or “unconstitutional”.
Obviously, none of these so-called ‘experts’, media members or politicos have read the bill (as drafting legislation is not typically done during political campaigns as most understand), and are simply assuming the legislation will be unconstitutional in order to justify their knee-jerk opposition to the concept.
My hope in releasing this Overview of the proposed Alberta Sovereignty Act, is that even more Albertans, their MLAs and perhaps even some critical thinkers in the mainstream media, will take a thoughtful look at this policy proposal, and join the growing number of Albertans who want to see our Province stand up to Ottawa, restore our constitutional rights, and take control of our future.
Sincerely,
Danielle Smith
A proposed law that would affirm the authority of the Provincial Legislature to refuse provincial enforcement of specific Federal laws or policies that violate the jurisdictional rights of Alberta under Sections 92 – 95 of the Constitution or that breaches the Charter Rights of Albertans.
No, the entire objective of the Alberta Sovereignty Act is to assert Alberta’s Constitutional Rights within Canada to the furthest extent possible by effectively governing itself as a Nation within a Nation, just as Quebec has done for decades and as Saskatchewan is also now proposing.
In my view, the restoration and reassertion of provincial rights across our country will protect all provinces from the destructive overreach of Ottawa, and is likely the only viable way for Canada to remain a unified nation long into the future. Ottawa’s ‘divide, control and conquer’ policies have placed Canada on a path of division and disunity. Alberta can and must lead on this issue going forward and the Alberta Sovereignty Act is the first step in doing so.
Prior to being introduced in the Legislature for debate and vote this Fall, I will work with Cabinet and Caucus to draft the Alberta Sovereignty Act in accordance with sound constitutional language and principles.
However, as a starting point for discussion, this proposed legislation is intended to function as follows:
When the Federal Government institutes a law or policy that appears to violate Alberta’s jurisdictional rights under the Canadian Constitution or Albertans’ Charter rights, the Government of Alberta may introduce a Special Motion for a free vote of all MLAs in the Legislature. Each such Special Motion would need to include the following detailed information:
1. Identification of the Federal law or policy that is deemed to be in violation of the Constitution or Charter, and the constitutional explanation for making that claim
2. Explanation of the harms that the specified violation of the Constitution or Charter imposes on the citizens of Alberta
3. Detailed description of the specific actions the Province and its agencies will take to refuse or otherwise oppose the enforcement of that specified Federal law or policy within Alberta
4. A Declaration that by authority of the Alberta Sovereignty Act, and notwithstanding the specific Federal law or policy in question, it shall not be enforced by the Provincial Government within Alberta in the manner outlined by the Special Motion
5. Imposition of a date to review and debate, in the Legislature, whether or not to amend, end or continue the actions outlined in the Special Motion. This review date shall be no later than the earlier of 24 months or within 90 days of a Court staying or deeming all or a portion of a Special Motion unconstitutional.
Invoking the Alberta Sovereignty Act via Special Motion against a specific Federal law or policy will likely be done relatively sparingly and only upon passing a Special Motion (as previously detailed) via free vote of the entire Legislative Assembly of Alberta.
However, in my view, if the Federal Government continues to violate provincial rights and Albertans’ Charter freedoms, our Provincial Government should not hesitate to use it to protect Albertans.
As one example, if Justin Trudeau announces tomorrow that under authority of the Federal Emergencies Act, all school-aged children must be vaccinated for COVID in order to attend in-person learning, our government would have the following options:
1) Take the NDP approach, follow Federal Law and have AHS and Alberta Education enforce this policy on our children.
2) Take the establishment UCP approach which would likely be to write an angry letter to Ottawa and possibly take the Federal Government to Court for roughly 2 years, during which time, AHS and Alberta Education fully carry out the Federal Government’s vaccination policy, thereby nullifying the entire point of the lawsuit.
3) Invoke the Alberta Sovereignty Act, via Special Motion, stating that this Federal policy is a breach of the Charter, forbid AHS and Alberta Education from implementing the policy on our children, and wait for the Federal Government to bring a constitutional challenge against the Province which we would fight, probably win, and during which time, the Charter rights of Alberta parents and children will have been protected.
I know which option I like. How about you?
Other examples of Federal legislation and policies the Alberta Sovereignty Act, via Special Motion, could be used to oppose include (though there are many more):
– Federal mandatory vaccination policies involving enforcement activities by a Provincial agency (Charter violation)
– Use of Emergencies Act to jail & freeze accounts of peaceful protesters (Charter violation)
– Authorizing immediate commencement of private and public projects being held up by Federal agencies under authority of the Bill C-69 ‘No New Pipelines’ Law (which law has already been found unconstitutional by the Alberta Court of Appeal but is still holding up projects waiting on a Supreme Court hearing and decision, which could take years)
– Mandatory cuts to fertilizer use by Alberta Farmers (violation of s.95 of the Constitution)
– Mandatory emissions and production cuts to Alberta energy companies (violation of s.92A of the Constitution)
– Mandatory cuts to electricity generation and use from fossil fuels as recently announced by Canada’s Environment Minister (likely violation of both the Charter and a.92A of the Constitution)
– Provincial takeover of firearms licensing and refusing to enforce Federal firearms ownership regulations (violation of s.92(13) of the Constitution)
– Federal censorship or inappropriate sanction of Albertans or independent media based in Alberta (violation of the Charter).
– Mandatory participation by Albertans or information sharing by provincial agencies of Albertans’ personal data for the purpose of a Federal digital identification program (Charter violation)
No, the Alberta Sovereignty Act may not be invoked or otherwise utilized unless specifically authorized by way of a free vote of all elected MLAs in the Alberta Legislature as explained above.
The above description of how the Alberta Sovereignty Act would function is clearly constitutional.
Where disagreements surrounding constitutionality may arise between the Federal and Alberta Governments, are the specific actions the Alberta Government and Legislature choose to utilize via the Special Motion process outlined above. These may then have to be litigated accordingly. However, during that litigation process, the non-enforcement actions undertaken by the Province via Special Motion will continue to remain in force unless otherwise stayed by court order.
This is another advantage of the Alberta Sovereignty Act. Currently, it is the Federal Government that regularly passes and declares unconstitutional laws and policies on a regular basis knowing that it will take years for Alberta to successfully challenge them, if ever, in Court. The Alberta Sovereignty Act reverses this and places that onerous process and cost back on the Federal Government.
If a Court stays or ultimately deems that the actions undertaken by the Province under a specific Alberta Sovereignty Act Special Motion is unconstitutional, then the Government and Legislature will have to review the Special Motion actions in question and make a decision as to whether or not to amend, end or continue with them, understanding the legal implications such a decision could cause. That decision will be up to the Government and Legislature at the time in question, as each such situation would be unique and case specific
No, just the opposite.
Over the last several years the Federal Government has triggered a constitutional crisis through repeated lawless attacks on provincial constitutional jurisdictional rights and the Charter.
The Trudeau Government has effectively imposed economic sanctions against Alberta (and parts of Saskatchewan and BC) that have resulted in economic chaos.
Hundreds of billions in investment and tax revenues, and hundreds of thousands of jobs, have been lost to these sanctions as investors around the world find it too risky to do business in Alberta’s energy industry. In fact, no new major development of our world class oil sands has been commenced in almost 20 years as a result.
The idea expressed by some that the Alberta Sovereignty Act would cause “chaos” in the markets is naive in the extreme. The chaos is already here and has been caused by both Ottawa’s unlawful policies and an utter lack of provincial leadership on effectively pushing back against those attacks.
The fact is the Alberta Sovereignty Act reimposes constitutional rule of law on a lawless Ottawa by reaffirming the critical import of respecting the powers, responsibilities and exclusive jurisdictions of the Provinces under the Canadian Constitution, as well as the Charter rights and freedoms guaranteed to all Albertans.
Unlikely. Several Federal laws and policies, though harmful to Alberta, are not necessarily in areas of policy over which our Province has constitutional sovereignty. We can’t, for example, force the Federal Government to build the Energy East pipeline through Quebec.
However, provinces do have a significant amount of control over how law (both provincial and federal) is enforced within their boundaries. This is where the Alberta Sovereignty Act can and should have a role in pushing the Federal Government out of our provincial jurisdiction.
How this is accomplished will vary depending on the specific circumstances and Federal law or policy in question.
But make no mistake, Alberta can and must be creative, courageous and unflinching in defense of our rights if we are to stop the concerted economic attacks by the woke establishment politicians in Ottawa against us.

Such spirited defence is in significant part what Smith’s proposed ASA aims to do.:⬇️ “In mid-September, Premier Jason Kenney openly disagreed with UCP leadership hopeful Danielle Smith over her proposed Alberta Sovereignty Act (ASA). Kenney said the legislation would be destabilising, unconstitutional and a disaster for Alberta. Kenney’s former principal secretary levelled similar accusations, which Kenney happily quoted: It should be called “the Alberta suicide act.” Kenney went as far as to besmirch the original authors of the idea for a sovereignty act, calling them an extreme right-wing group. Himself accused of meddling in the selection of his successor, Kenney reminded everyone that as premier his job is “to defend the vital interests” of Alberta, thereby suggesting that the proposed ASA would do the opposite. A week later, Alberta Solicitor General Tyler Shandro gave notice to the federal government and to the RCMP, of Edmonton’s intention not to cooperate with Ottawa’s plan to dispossess Albertans of lawfully procured firearms. Shandro dismissed the harmful federal policy as politically motivated. He ordered the RCMP, under the authority of the 2011 Provincial Police Service Agreement, to disregard Ottawa’s instructions for the “buyback.” Ottawa’s plan, Shandro said, did not follow Alberta priorities. Under (section D) the PPSA, the federal cops are bound to “respect Alberta’s constitutional jurisdiction over the administration of justice,” and (G) to implement “the provincial policing objectives, priorities and goals.” Shandro also announced Alberta’s intentions to intervene in the relevant court cases against Ottawa. With this move, Alberta uses its jurisdictional authority to push back against Ottawa when Ottawa is perceived to be acting against the interests of Albertans. In a sense, the Alberta government is stepping into a line of fire to shield the rights of individual Albertans. Such spirited defence is in significant part what Smith’s proposed ASA aims to do. The announcement — surprisingly — represents Kenney’s tacit endorsement of Smith’s proposal. Albertans wondering about the rationale and virtue of implementing the ASA now have a concrete example for an answer. In a nutshell, the ASA is a response to the Ottawa problem, which is its tendency to hinder provincial authority and development. It has several manifestations. Ottawa hinders provinces through a combination of inaction, obstruction and intrusion. In recent examples, Ottawa’s inaction allowed unconstitutional blockades to Alberta’s exports; Ottawa obstructed new energy developments such as Teck Frontier; and Ottawa intruded in Alberta’s jurisdiction with its desire to grab the lawful property of Albertans. The ASA would thus assert Alberta’s authority to refuse provincial enforcement of specific federal policies or laws that violate the jurisdictional rights of Alberta under the Constitution, or which breach the Charter rights of Albertans. The ASA is not an instrument for “independence” as some have wrongly suggested. Alberta has every right to occupy the fullness of the jurisdictional spaces that the Constitution confers to provinces. In federal arrangements, the sovereignty of the state is intentionally divided, and Canada’s Constitution divides the country’s sovereignty into specific jurisdictions. Some of these jurisdictions are the exclusive domain of each government and some are shared. Education is an exclusive provincial jurisdiction, for instance, and Ottawa has zero authority to make laws regarding education. Whether or not a prime minister is interested, foreign and monetary policies are Ottawa’s exclusively. Immigration and transportation are examples of shared areas, adding even more tension to the mix. Inherent tensions exist in federal structures. They are magnified in Canada when Ottawa is hostile to a province. For example, Pierre Trudeau’s open hostility to Quebec and Alberta, and now his son’s hostility to Alberta and Saskatchewan make matter worse. In such situations, it is imperative for Western provinces to be proactive in shielding themselves against intrusions or punitive abuses from Laurentian rulers. The history of Western Canada is painted with jurisdictional transgressions, punitive violations and over-reaches from Ottawa to the detriment of provinces. The ASA is thus meant to defend the constitutional authority that Canada’s Constitution gives to provinces under sections 92-95 of the 1982 Constitution. All provinces enjoy such sovereignty portions to govern their own affairs without external interference. And doing so is lawful, constitutional and a “vital interest” of each jurisdiction, to re-take Kenney’s language. Kenney’s move is without a doubt the most interesting development in Canadian constitutional affairs in decades. Already emulated by Saskatchewan and Manitoba (NB may be next), it sets a precedent for provinces to defend their constitutionally-apportioned sovereignty. It lays the ground for Danielle Smith to introduce her legislation, should she win as expected. How Ottawa reacts will have significant implications for the federation. Specifically, how the RCMP responds may determine the future of the federal police acting in provincial spaces in Western Canada.

Danielle Smith if you win the leadership I would like to ask a favour that in return may allow me to give you my support in the provincial general election...here it is...there are many, many mlas who donot deserve another term in Alberta politics, my mla Jason Nixon (in my opinion) tops that list, so it would be lovely for you to reopen nominations for someone to replace these(my term) undesireables, as much as I think you would make a good leader, I refuse to ever give another vote to Jason Nixon.
You will NEVER be Alberta’s leader. NEVER!!!!
Remember when you lost and then deserted your party???? You are not a leader.

So Danielle went after the lowest common denominator of people who are antivax and anti pandemic mandates. She’ll be rethinking that strategy when she comes up to the next provincial election and Albertans have the choice of her, who has clearly said she won’t consider anything the medical experts say about health policies or education experts who have their own opinions about children masking at school, and the NDP who might not be a conservative’s first choice but sure beats choosing Danielle with her “I don’t need to listen to any experts” approach.

So if made premier? What are going to do about it other than posting a symbol to look PC?
When does the truth part start?... The feds have danced around this for decades...
I can't believe they let Trudeau apologize. What a slap in the face of the victims.
Remember the role that health played. Thresholds of starvation were measured by starving children to death.
And they give themselves another paid holiday
Should warring tribes who took women and children as slaves take responsibility for their actions as well??
The suffering from this still goes on today. Through their children and grandchildren. Why is this never mentioned .
Truth is hard to come by when it starts with a Lie about 215 graves. There are 215 anomalies that GPR identified. It cannot and does not differentiate between a grave or any other disturbance! Reconciliation is impossible without truth !
I have a friend that kept their child from school, because this burden should have never been thrust upon them. Good for him. The corrupt govt, RC's, and chiefs are still there, still inflicting pain and suffering. But the rest of us should feel guilty. How reprehensible, how criminal. The first thing Trudeau did was scrap the Aboriginal Accountability Act. And then they let him apologize. What a slap in the face of the victims. How many were bought off to allow that??? REPREHENSIBLE. CRIMINAL.
Awareness of the issue is the first step. Now it’s time for action.
Has anything changed? If I refused to provide a state sanctioned education for my kids - the courts would issue a compliance order, and if I refused to obey it - I would be cited for contempt, and my kids would be scooped up by state actors. If I resisted as they did, the RCMP would be there to enforce the action. The difference: whitey's are state-compliant, and natives of the day were not. But at root - the policies remain. No lessons learned from this at all. Just a lot of extra practice in sanctimonious virtue-signalling. So while being thankful for educational opportunity, I remain unblind to the reality of the relationship between state policy and parental obligations.
This is a federal issue not provincial.
No surprises here
How many "Truth and Reconciliation" weeks are going to be required each year to commemorate the global covid genocide?
Real time genocide too ,from our leaders ,the assault continues
I follow a lot of politicians on FB. Surprise surprise, Danielle Smith’s page is where you’ll find the most amount of non-sympathetic comments. Kudos to those who have a heart. The rest of you is why others scoff at Alberta and Danielle Smith in general.
how many kids are taken away from their parents ?? because their parents are druggies...alcoholics...children sexually molested...I say leave natives with natives,,let them build their own hospitals and staff them,...their own schools and staff them,,,their own jails and staff them P.S WITH THEIR OWN MONEY
Another token statement from a typical storytelling politician. No truth from this snake oil saleswoman.

Excellent Danielle Smith !. If Notley says she wants to help Albertans, there is her chance to condemn it. I bet she won't. Because she part of the problem. In fact not even once she condemned this carbon tax.
NET ZERO is the same garbage!
Carbon tax is nothing compared to the sky rocketing utilities and insurance premiums which NDP promises to tackle. Danielle, what is your team going to do to tackle these issues??
The 3 useless leaders for commonsense purposes, building their agenda narratives with division and hardships ! Enough's with the carbon tax you can't tax winds & waves !

Prove to me that taking my money is doing anything for the environment. They can’t even tell us where it’s going/gone
Carbon taxes are a necessity. Got with the game.
3 ropes
👉”Smith is travelling throughout the province at an exhausting pace. In one recent stump speech, Smith pushes a lot of buttons. 👉She refers to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and a possible Premier Rachel Notley as “The Axis of Economic Destruction.” She says with that duo in power, Alberta will never be the same again. If Notley’s NDP win here … “It’s not just going to be for four years because it won’t be an accident. It will be a choice. “She may be there for eight years or 12 years or 16 years, just like our friends in Saskatchewan had the NDP for 16 years.” She tells the people she is the person who can beat Notley. 👉”I look at Alberta as the beating heart of conservatism. If we don’t maintain our conservative values here, where else are they going to crop up?” continues Smith. “How are we going to convince the rest of the country to vote for Pierre Poilievre and the Conservatives if we don’t maintain a conservative government here?” 👉Smith brings up her Sovereignty Act as drawing a hard line and sees the relationship with Ottawa as “insult after injury after insult after injury.” 👉She points to what she sees as the political persecution of the Freedom Convoy’s Tamara Lich “while we have all these dudes getting revolving-door justice and going out creating havoc and committing heinous crimes.” 👉Smith applauds the Twitter hashtag #TrudeauMustGo, doesn’t like “the woke mob” or the mainstream media. 👉As for Alberta Health Services … I do not trust a single thing Alberta Health Services tells me anymore.” 👉She speaks of possible pipelines and rail lines to the Manitoba port of Churchill, the Great Lakes, B.C.’s port of Prince Rupert and Tuktoyaktuk up north. 👉Smith’s rallying cry? “We must put Alberta first. We must do it without fear. We must do it without apology and, if elected, we will do it without delay.”
They should back off on increasing it right now.
The irony of a video Notley put out less than a month ago concerned about Albertans not being able to afford groceries. Classic move blaming it on the taxes imposed by the UCP, certainly not from the carbon tax supported by her federal leader. That worthless ‘social license’ has been awfully expensive! It’s time for common sense to prevail because the only thing our ‘social licence’ is doing is creating even more hardships for those already struggling.
NDP are nobody's. Riding on the coat tails of others and taking no responsibility for their actions. This is not who I want making decisions for me and my family. And coalitions should be abolished.
