An Open Letter to Premier Ed
Dear Ed,
I am a constituent of your provincial riding and since you happen to be my M.L.A., I thought I’d go straight to you with this.
There is an issue that has come to the surface for which immediate action is required for the common good of all Albertans; a danger not only to the fabric of Alberta society but potentially to our economic well-being.
No, I’m not talking about Stephane Dion’s Green Shaft..er, Shift plan that would see yet another Eastern raid on our provincial coffers and crashing of our economy. You and I both know that little scheme has about the same shelf life as Dion’s tenure as Liberal leader.
As well, I’m sure that you will stand up to any kind of federally mandated transfer of wealth (read: another vicious N.E.P.-style cash grab), right? ….(cough) right?
Ed, this is about an actual threat to our distinct Alberta culture.
You should know that I have nothing against bilingualism, per se. My kids go to a French immersion school, and it is by far the best school in your constituency, in my opinion.
It is not a particular people or culture that I am asking you to stand firm against, Mr. Premier. It is the attack on our independence and self-determination, launched by someone with ulterior motives.
If not addressed, we will lose a bit of ourselves to the wishes of those far away.
The recent ruling in favour of Gilles Caron that saw his measly traffic ticket morphed into (yet another) Constitutional challenge is way beyond the point of being just a minor court case. This has become a startling and exposed attempt at a special interest to force changes to our way of living, and to the very essence of our great province.
It is an example of the stale and distasteful practice of social engineering that many Canadians outside of Alberta have come to think of as part of Canadian culture.
It must be brought to everyone’s attention that just a few days ago, a so-called ‘Saskatchewan Francophone’ also successfully challenged a minor ticket in court, achieving victory in a similar manner as Mr. Caron.
In the Saskatchewan case, Justin Bell had his charge stayed because the RCMP officer didn’t serve him in French. In Saskatchewan.
The kicker? The lawyer for Mr. Caron in Alberta and Mr. Bell in Saskatchewan is…..the same person! Yep, in a startling coincidence, both language law challenges were handled by lawyer Rupert Baudais!
Ed, this is a hidden agenda that has become exposed. We are looking to you to defend Alberta’s interests, no matter from where the attack originates from.
If Mr. Baudais continues with what seems to be his agenda and successfully takes this issue to the Supreme Court, ultimately imposing the will of a very small provincial minority on Alberta’s majority, will you be prepared to pull out all the stops?
Would the Notwithstanding Clause be an option?
Just wondering.
All the best,
