HANNAFORD: The Clarity Act, Ottawa’s real plan to block Alberta independence

from Western Standard Shows · host Western Standard

“The federal government can’t afford to agree to Alberta independence – Alberta is the economic powerhouse of Confederation. So, they have to stop it somehow.” That 'somehow' is the Clarity Act.Thus Jim Mason, retired engineer and nuclear physicist and co-author with Calgary writer George Koch of a three-part series on the Clarity Act, cuts to the heart of Alberta’s independence debate. Tonight’s guest on the Hannaford show, Mason dismantles the notion that the Clarity Act offers clarity or a fair, neutral roadmap for secession.
