...more institutionalised conservatism: Rona, Alberta's Tory government and the Nation Motion

Did anyone else find it convenient that Alberta is now "banging its chest" about it being a nation one day after Rona Ambrose was shuffled to manage to Intergovernmental Affairs portfolio?

The Calgary Herald reports Friday that "Alberta is "the bad boy" of Confederation and that Alberta's Intergovernmental Affairs Minister, Guy Boutillier, said "that and will fight for its own rights as a nation, including a provincial immigration program and equitable treatment in Canada".

Minister Boutillier also said "Alberta and other provinces and territories are owed the same rights associated with the Quebec nation, a distinction recently approved by the House of Commons. Each province is a nation within a nation".

Should we be surprised now that more than a month has passed since the passing of CPC's Nation resolution that Alberta is calling for the same rights as was awarded Quebec? Was this a part of Harper's plan at the time: to force a massive decentralisation whether he opens up the constitution or not? Is Rona Ambrose a part of this plan? Is this really about pandering to Alberta and to the separatist movement outside of Quebec? Or, is this really about institutionalising conservatism?

Time will tell...but it might be prudent for those Canadians who believe in a strong federation to prepare against the dilution of Canada and the hypothesis that the institutionalisation of conservatism is a part of Harper's master plan.
