Alberta in Confederation
Still at work
Retired
It is quite evident that Canada’s Confederation is not working harmoniously. Ottawa is failing the regions outside 1867 Canada [Ontario and Quebec]. Such assessment warrants examination.
A 2020 publication, Moment of Truth, includes numerous articles which have been compiled by Jack M. Mintz, Ted Morton and Tom Flanagan, the School of Public Policy, University of Calgary. They address particularly Alberta’s experience.
Donald J. Savoie, l’Universite de Moncton, states, “The idea of confederation came from Canada West [Ontario] and Canada East [Quebec] as a solution to their ingrained and unsolvable political problems and was designed by their delegates to give full advantage to the economic interests of the two Canadas. First the Atlantic provinces and then the Western provinces were added, more as appendages than as partners.” This helps to explain many of the federal decisions from 1867 to the present.
