Michael Binnion : For decades , Alberta has played by the rules, respected the Constitution and asked only to be treated fairly.

But Ottawa continues to centralize power using courts, carbon taxes and conditional funding to chip away at Alberta ’s rightful jurisdiction.

Responsible self-government starts with using the powers we already control, but it doesn’t end there.

Alberta must also be willing to act alone if good faith negotiation is not possible.
