The Case for Confederation: Two new books layout why the Prairies should stay in Canada
When Sheila Gunn Reid went looking for the reasons to keep the Prairies within Canada, she came back with two books that make the case. The result? Blank pages, the perfect Christmas gift for your favourite Prairie firebrand, your CBC-soaked liberal co-worker, or anyone who still insists equalization is fair.
I'm thrilled to introduce the two books that I just wrote — and I'm using the word “wrote” pretty loosely here.
Meet: The Case for Confederation: Alberta's Compelling Reasons to Stick Around and The Case for Confederation: Saskatchewan's Compelling Reasons to Stick Around.
Two beautifully bound volumes packed with every strong promise and well-researched argument for why Alberta and Saskatchewan should stay within the confines of Canada.
And by “packed,” I mean the pages are blank. These two books are completely empty. Because when I went looking for Ottawa's case to keep the Prairies, or rather for us to stay, that's exactly what I found.
Nothing. Flip through either book and you'll reach the same conclusion I did.
If the federal government has a convincing argument, it didn't make it into the pages of my book or into reality for that matter.
These books will make the perfect gift for your favourite Prairie firebrand, your CBC-soaked liberal co-worker, or anyone who still insists equalization is fair. Or
how about for that guy who yells “Elbows up!” every time pipelines or canola or potash comes up.
And look, even if Ottawa won't offer Alberta or Saskatchewan much, these blank books can because they're lined, they double as notebooks, instantly making them more useful than any federal promise since 1905.

Lynne Osborne commented 2025-12-16 16:08:57 -0500No political system is perfect. But if people are going to work together for the common good some goodwill has to exist between them regardless of the rules or in this case Constitution. What we have now is Ottawa taxing the west to subsidize the east and using some of that money to shut down commerce in the west at the same time. They are also allowing third parties, some foreign to undermine the rights of Canadians granted in the Constitution. Yes it would be great to stay in Confederation. But Confederation is like a marriage. When it gets to the point that one partner is using and abusing the other as a matter of common practice it is over. Ask Trudeau why he did not stay married for the good of all concerned? Well he thinks we all live in a Post Nation State anyway so mariage is a bit farther down the list of priorities for him and his associates. -
Bruce Atchison commented 2025-12-15 19:58:40 -0500This really is a practical joke. I certainly can think of no logical reason to stay in Confederation. And we can use the books to write down every wicked thing Ottawa does to us in those books.
