Separation Party of Alberta - "Giving Alberta to Albertans" |
|
||||||
Principles |
The primary goal of our party is to facilitate a peaceful and orderly separation of Alberta from the Canadian Confederation and form an independent nation with our own constitution based on a true democracy where the will of the people shall prevail.
The policies which we advocate are in keeping with the aspirations of Albertans whose vision of the future is positive and constructive and built on true democratic principles where the power of government is always in the hands of the people.
We offer Albertans a clear and unobstructed view of the direction in which our elected representatives shall proceed with mandated provisions for full accountability.
We will provide Albertans, whose heritage is unique and diverse, with clear policies founded upon conservative and social values which we cherish. Our objectives are to provide Albertans with:(a) less government (the government that governs best is the government that governs the least);
(b) a true justice system, not a legal system that isnt just;
(c) elected Justices of our new District and Supreme courts;
(d) fully accountable elected representatives and bureaucrats through a workable, realistic and effective system of RECALL, CITIZEN INITIATIVE AND REFERENDA;
(e) referenda of the people to decide and settle controversial issues and disputes;
(f) a Triple E Senate (elected, equal and effective);
(g) reform of our voting system to provide proportional representation;
(h) free votes in the Legislature;
(i) preservation of all of our natural resources for the benefit of Albertans;
(j) guarantee equality of all citizens before the law; and
(k) economic and fiscal precedence in all matters to ensure that Albertans prosper through diversity having regard to the challenges of the future.Our new national Constitution will embrace fundamental individual rights with balanced responsibilities; the freedom to own and enjoy private property; where laws will be made by the Legislature and not the judiciary; where our elected and appointed representatives owe their first duty to their electors and the people they serve and not their political parties.
Albertans are compassionate and care for those in less fortunate circumstances. We will ensure that citizen's reasonable needs are looked after, but we also believe in the tenet that You cannot do more for a man than he can do for himself [ Abe Lincoln, 1865 ]. We believe that the traditional family is the cornerstone and substantive foundation upon which a healthy society is built and our policies will reflect these features.
Our Declaration of Principles and Policies reflect the unique partnership that the Alberta government has with its municipalities. Municipalities will be given a share of our resource revenue to preserve and enhance the workability and effectiveness of their infrastructures, educational and other institutions by way of interest-free loans which will ease the burden of taxation on their residents.
Our vision is clear: the will of our citizens will prevail having regard to our resource wealth, preservation of our environment for present and future generations with supremacy of the Legislature over the judiciary.Declaration of Principles and Policies
