Great piece. However, I don't believe the 7/50 rule, or opening the Canadian constitution has any relevance in the negotiations and I believe Rise of Alberta posted a graphic just this week on this very issue. Am I wrong on this?
I agree wholeheartedly. If we are forced into opening the Constitution these issues will never be resolved. Thus the time limit and the threat of a unilateral declaration.
The objective is legal clarity without submitting to the 7/50 rule or admitting to the requirement for any Constitutional amendment that requires Alberta’s participation. That is the leverage offered by a successful referendum.
I’d love to see a much simplified tax return where rules for various taxpayer types don’t vary by type. And far fewer line items for each type. Personal, Trust, corporate, NPO and charity.
Me I’d love to see NPO and charity get severely restricted to no funding by government grants! Who likes that idea?

Great job. Please forward to Premier Smith! She should at least have a "shadow" minister of post-sovereignty vote action plans.

I do. The Alberta Revenue Service, which already exists for corporations, and all of its polices can be put in place in that year.
Oh I so want to talk about a much simpler tax system. More later.
Anyone else thinking this too?
To Hell with the East. Let them figure things out with their EU buddies.
