Alberta's New Constitution | Bruce Pardy | Citizen | 073
Description
We sit down with Professor Bruce Pardy to unpack his bold vision for a new constitution in the event of Alberta’s separation. Pardy argues that Canada’s system has produced a managerial state—one that prizes order over freedom. Could the Alberta Separation chart a different course by flipping the script and limiting government to just three roles: policing, courts, and military defense?
In this episode, we dive into:
• Why Canada restricts free speech more than the U.S. does
• The failures of internal reform and judicial overreach
• What Alberta's independence could look like under a minimal government model.
• The real challenges of funding healthcare, schools, and public goods without taxation.
• How freedom is redefined as the absence of state coercion.
Whether you agree or disagree, this conversation challenges the very foundation of how Canada governs.
