Every Canadian should at least listen to Preston Mannings interview with Candice. This man is truly a great Canadian. I am so glad that I joined the Reform Party years ago and as an Easterner. So much common sense from him on the best way forward for our country. I can remember the excitement when our own Constitution was drafted and our drafters did a fantastics job in defining the responsibilities of the Feds and Provinces. It is a very sad thing that we do not follow it. Drafted in 1982 and ratified by the Queen while Pierre Trudeau pirouetted behind her back was thrilling but it only took a couple of year before the sleazy politicians leading us began to break all the clauses with respect to provincial authority. Provinces did not have the $ needed and the Feds did not have the power to implement all the teet sucking demanded by the socialist elite and people who want a cradle to grave benefit. So Ottawa just grabbed the power and sucks be to you Mr. Province.

A state, any state, is destroyed from above by three things: corruption, arbitrary measures and scoffing at the law.

The Liberal Parties of the West (sometimes wrongly referred to as 'Democrat') are addicted to and masters of all three vices listed above.

With the installation of Carney of England, and the invitation of a 'King' as well as the return of at least half of the Trudeau cabinet, Canada is now a house on fire. We must save ourselves.

Agree. This issue should be framed, not as the West wanting some kind of special consideration, but as the West wanting the negotiated constitution to be honoured. By ignoring the constitution to the continuing detriment of of a particular region the federal government has denied that region full membership in the federation.

Good interview Candice. Manning is right on most concerns. What bothers me is that he is saying that we would have follow the Canadian constitution. I say why? When for the last decade the federal lieberal regime has never followed the constitution. They've done everything but. If we want to go our own way then, we will follow our own constitution, canada's constitution no longer applies. We have our own ways and our own laws.

I was at a townhall yesterday & it was a sell out! Considering hockey is still going on & a game was playing locally, the people still turned out. Rational discussion took place. There was no anger. But, there was determination to look into the possibility of separating. EVERYONE THERE knows that this is NOT A SIMPLE THING & various obstacles were brought up. The main thing is that the Eastern elites will ensure to denigrate us, call us traitors & all kinds of names. That alone will be something we need to combat. You KNOW the Laurentian media will do everything they can to call us out & lie about us constantly & it could actually get dangerous. We'll be cancelled, called liars & that we're "spoiled" which is laughable considering it's them that's feeding off of our teat!! Just beware we're in for a ride & it won't be fun!!!

Preston Manning is probably the greatest PM we failed to elect. Having met him and his lovely wife a number of times working on his campaign in Halton Region, Ontario I have nothing but respect for him. That is very high praise from someone who normally treats politicians with mistrust and distain.

Is it the East Canadian Elites that are the myopic problem or is it the Buckingham Palace and City of London Bankster/Globalist elites that are pulling Dr Meat's (Carney's) strings?

I was not shocked but merely disgusted to hear that Jizzlane Maxwell had a permanent apartment in the Palace. And that Maxwell, Epstein and others of that cult had any association at all with Dr Meat and his unlovely wife, who sells out Western interests in Eurasia and helped to pick her hubby to misrule Canada.

Yes indeed, it is known that the "royal family", the "vatican", and that it is the "elite families" and the "orders" they belong to ( ....orders of the dragon, black sun, etc. they belong to, still rule every government, military and more, of all nations...leaders of countries and parties are but these ruling orders out-front puppets, who make no decisions, they only follow orders of their very dark "masters". I believe disclosures that are slowly coming out for all to witness are helping everyone understand what really has been happening and what really is going on and where humanity is headed, are being very skillfully released at appropriate times...in the meantime it helps us to at least be aware that nothing IS at it seems to be and that learning and developing our discernment skills is critical to navigating our way towards and into the arenas where TRUTH can be discovered.

I sooner we leave Canada the better western Canada will be and when eastern Canada comes knocking to join us I pray we all say no thank you I think we will all have a beautiful life if we leave the corrupt liberalism that Trudeau and Dr Meat ( Carney ) think that western Canada wants , Trudeau and Carney have screwed so many people and eastern Canada’s uneducated people don’t seem to want to understand that they are going to get screwed over by carney my attitude is let them but don’t let western Canada be part of it .

What are the chances 50 years of Liberal federal encroachment on Provincial jurisdiction will be reversed by a minority government dependent not on western representatives in Parliament? I'd expect the federal strategy will be to defer, obfuscate and wait till Alberta "blows off steam", till the storm passes. It has always worked in the past, they will think. Is this time different?

One caveat is the USA and Trump. It appears that he really means it when he says stuff. If Alberta were to, following a pro-independence referendum, declare independence with the backing and protection of the USA in the expectation of seeing 51st state happen, then there's nothing the federal government could do. "Elbows up" when you are the equivalent of a 10 year old going into the corner with Gordie Howe has only one outcome.

The interview gave a perspective of the many years that Alberta has expressed its dissatisfaction with Ottawa's attitude and respective actions and has used Alberta to support the eastern part of Canada, who have in return not made a serious effort to eliminate this money grab since the action of Pierre Trudeau took and established the devastating national energy plan.

I very much remember those days in our Province, and what we are experiencing today is a more fanatic and resistance process to restrict Alberta's rights and a coordinated effort by Ottawa to destroy Alberta's economy.

Carney is a Net Zero Zealot, and I do not trust and have the confidence that there will be a change, for his book Values makes that very clear.

I do not understand why the Canadians are so ignorant of what is happening. Carney, a globalist and WEF clone, has not revoked Bill C-69 and committed to expanding Alberta's economic base, but rather to curtail further development.

I agree 100% as only a few months previously those same 'proud' Canadians were stomping all over our flag, our history, our people. All the virtue signalling of flag waving, buy Canadian, jersey wearing, elbows up was and is enough to make me nauseous!

Trump and Carney are game playing. Carney leased a building from the Trump family for 99 years when he moved his company to New York. This is a shell game.

Preston Manning is so astute relative to Canadian issues and the elements that impact unity in Canada. We are so fortunate to still have his intellect and voice in the conversation.
