SACPA: Maxime Bernier on the future of Canada and Alberta
LETHBRIDGE, AB – People’s Party of Canada leader Maxime Bernier was the special guest at Tuesday’s virtual meeting of the Southern Alberta Council on Public Affairs (SACPA).
Bernier addressed the idea of Alberta separating from the rest of Canada, something his home province of Quebec is no stranger to. He said overall, separatism would not benefit the Prairie province.
“I believe we should try to reform Canada, but I understand why many Albertans have given up on our country,” Bernier stated.
“We can all agree on one thing – Canada is becoming more and more dysfunctional every year. There are structural problems with our institutions, with the way our federation is being governed, and with democracy itself. These problems guarantee that things will continue to get worse.”
