Courtesy of Progressive Calgary, comes the link to a constitution for an independent Alberta someone with way too much time on their hands has written up. This separatist group has gone over every single detail of an independent Alberta – for example, elections will be held the first Monday of every April. None too surprisingly the distribution of powers bears a striking resemblance to the American model and I was shocked, shocked I say, that gay rights are mentioned nowhere.

After browsing the constitution, I must say I’m a little disapointed in this group in certain fields: Nothing on mandatory firearms for all citizens…nothing on a 50 foot gold statue of Ralph Klein…no pledge of allegiance to Peter Lougheed…
