Grading for Conservative Party Leadership Candidates
Two Provinces United
Our role is to encourage leaders in Alberta and Saskatchewan to cooperate and fight as one entity.
In 1905, Alberta and Saskatchewan were meant to be one province: Buffalo.
Prime Minister Laurier split it in two, worried a united West would be too powerful.
Let’s stand as one, because together our voice can’t be ignored.
Our Mission
01
Billions Out. Nothing Back.
Since 1980, Alberta has paid $653 billion more in federal taxes than we’ve received back in transfers or programs. That is insanity.1
Four provinces get $3,000+ per resident each year in equalization transfers while Alberta and Saskatchewan get nothing.2
1 Government of Alberta, Stats Canada
2 Government of Saskatchewan, Stats Canada
02
Investment Crushed.
Over the last 10 years, $500 billion in Canadian resource investment has vanished under hostile federal policy.
Examples include the emissions cap, Bill C-69 (no more pipelines law), carbon taxes, the west coast tanker ban and many more.
03
Our Industries Punished.
Energy, agriculture, and mining power Canada’s economy but are constantly under threat from anti-development federal governments.
A federal EV mandate causing disastrous canola tariffs on our farmers.
Prime Minister Trudeau said there was “no business case” for our natural gas and that we need to “phase out” our oil sector.
Alberta and Saskatchewan subsidize Canadians in other provinces.
Meanwhile, our industries and people are attacked.
The Problem
Demand a New Deal for the West NOW.
The status quo CANNOT continue. Because prosperity shouldn’t be punished and our provinces deserve economic autonomy.
Educate Canadians with facts, not spin.
Ottawa’s constitutional overreach hurts Alberta and Saskatchewan while weakening all of Canada.
Build unity between Alberta and Saskatchewan.
Together, we are strong and cannot be ignored.
Right Now,
Canada Is Broken
‘Canada is broken,’ say majority of Canadians
National Post,

Canada is doing poorly when it comes to regional equality when compared with other federations.
Donald Savoie,
University of Moncton political scientist
Canada
is broken
Canada is NOT working for the west. “Reform” for Canada did not work. Seeking respect for our unique needs did not work.
Ottawa continues to hold back our potential and cause our society harm.
Canada is setup to forget the west and take care of the rest.

Fact
Over half a TRILLION dollars ($661 billion) has been transferred to Canada from Alberta from 1961 to 2007, Financial Post, January 29, 2019
Even while contributing the most to Canada, our economy is under attack by a hostile federal government.
Scrapped
How nearly $150 billion worth of energy projects have been shelved in Canada, Financial Post, February 24, 2020
The west is chained to an unwilling partner. It’s like working with one arm tied behind our back.

The Time for Action is Now
120 Years of Mistreatment is ENOUGH.
Alberta and Saskatchewan built Canada’s prosperity.
Now it’s time to stand together, stand up for our interests and demand fairness in Canada.
Join the Buffalo Project community and let’s fight back.
01
Collecting our own taxes
To create leverage and bring those jobs to Alberta and Saskatchewan.
02
Establish the Buffalo Pension Plan (BPP)
A joint Alberta/Saskatchewan plan to replace CPP
03
Independent Economic Agreements
Alberta and Saskatchewan can sign formalized trade agreements within Canada and with other nations to avoid Ottawa’s control.
Our Identity Is Under Attack
Alberta and Saskatchewan are unique within our nation.
We are traders, innovators and keepers of the land.
It is in our agrarian heritage.
Just like the Buffalo, we will walk into the storm and fight those wishing to kill our identity and heritage.
Action is required now. It is time to fight to protect who we are.
The activists say:
“Keep it in the ground.”
“Phase them out.”
“#ShutDownCanada”
Our Response:
We will NEVER stop feeding a hungry world.
We will NEVER stop providing the greenest energy on the planet.
We will NEVER stop innovating to producing technology and research the world needs.”
