Mr. Speaker, Positioning · 4 wordsCanada is a family.Positioning Reasoning · 27 wordsFamilies share, support and succeed with each other. Families also have conflict and fight. Families often fail because one member of the family does not feel heard. Claims · 89 wordsToo many Albertans are frustrated, not with the country of Canada but with the federal government, an important distinction. As a person who lives under too much government control via the Indian Act, I empathize with this. One hundred and fifty years ago, before Alberta became a province, Treaty 6 promised Canadians and first peoples a timeless agreement to respectfully walk alongside each other, to share land and resources, ¹and to thrive together. Canada’s own Constitution is based on the principle that power should reside closest to the people.² Reasoning · 35 wordsGovernments should respect individuals, communities and provinces’ autonomy. It is time to remember and lead with first principles, when our ancestors locked arms to sign a treaty to make a Constitution and create a country. Claims · 22 wordsOn October 19, it is time for all first peoples and Albertans to vote for a stronger Alberta and a united Canada.³
