Province Of Assiniboia

What’s old is new again.

Today, I am sharing an idea for the reformation of our provincial boundaries …

Territory of the three prairie provinces (Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba) ought to be consolidated into one named ‘Assiniboia’.

In this scenario, the machinery of government is simplified and centralized across the Canadian prairie, thereby eliminating inefficiencies currently found in inter-provincial relations.

Under this arrangement, Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Regina, Prince Albert, Edmonton, and Calgary would all be within a common province, as well as Banff National Park.

Provincial borders will no longer be defined artificially, but by the natural lay of the land. The western border of the province is defined by the Rocky Mountains (Mt. Assiniboine), while the eastern, by Lake Winnipeg and Lake Of The Woods. To the north, the provincial limits are defined by the North Saskatchewan River, while to the south, the 49th parallel is the temporal limit. The geographical center of the province is the Assiniboine River which meanders through Manitoba and Saskatchewan.

The provincial capital is the University of Saskatchewan campus.

In 1916, Sir Frederick Haultain was knighted, and for 22 years after 1917, he served as Chancellor of the University of Saskatchewan.

“It was he [Sir Frederick Haultain] who drew the best plans for the new provinces of Saskatchewan and Alberta and it was he more than any other who ensured that the provincial universities in the prairie country would be founded with independence from politics and freedom from the controversies that embarrassed many of the educational institutions in Eastern Canada. In creating the new provinces in 1905, the federal government didn’t follow the Haultain blueprint closely and history is likely to see that as the senior government’s mistake.”

For the preservation of peace and the proper ordering of the Dominion, it is hereby declared that the province formerly known as Assiniboia shall be reconstituted in the spirit of Roman Catholicism and whose citizenship be limited to persons designated as Indians in accordance with the Indian Act.

Québec Independence

I am not a Western Separatist. However, I do believe Canada would benefit by divorcing Québec (s. 91(26) British North America Act, 1867). I am also willing to bet most Québecois would prefer to be independent of Ottawa …

It must be admitted that attempting to occupy two competing positions (languages) at the same time is awkward and difficult. It creates a cultural impasse and stymies social progress because nationality is defined linguistically.

Official bilingualism is another ill-conceived policy of the Trudeau administration (Pierre administered the Official Languages Act in 1969 making Canada officially bilingual). Since then, our country has been 50% as efficient.

It would be wrong to continue trying to fit Francophone Québec within an Anglophone Canada because it creates a conflict of interest at the national level that permeates everything from education to law courts. Requiring every government document and sign to be printed/pronounced in both languages is a competitive disadvantage and a waste of taxpayer resources.

Canada would be better off unilingual (English only). In the long-run, Canada will be either French or English – but not both. This has been a development in the making for a considerable time now. Therefore, we ought to accelerate this process by endorsing only one of these languages while granting the other independence.

This grant of sovereignty would be conditional on maintaining a geographic trade corridor between the Maritime provinces and the rest of Canada.

This is not an easy topic to address because it would fundamentally change the structure of our confederation. Canada would never be the same. However, it would be in the best interests of our nation to do so. It would also release a considerable amount of political tension caused by our constitution’s attempt to fuse divergent nationalities into a single country.

Under this arrangement, Québec would be its own sovereign country within the British Commonwealth in accordance with Article 4 of the Treaty of Paris (February 10th, 1763).

Subject to the will of God, Québec is now independent of Canada:

“What God has joined together, let no man separate.”

– the Gospel according to Mark 10:9

Leadership Contest

leadership contest means a competition for the selection of the leader of a registered party.

Section 2, Canada Elections Act

It has been said that nothing exists in a vacuum and my leadership with the Canadian Nationalist Party is no exception.

In order to remain viable, it must be contestable. It is not my intention to be a self-appointed dictator of the party.

For this reason, I am hereby announcing that the Canadian Nationalist Party will commence a leadership contest at the conclusion of this 45th Federal Election (April 28th) in order to determine the question of party leadership. The contest will conclude when the Governor General of Canada issues the writ commencing the 46th Federal Election or the contest is concluded according to its rules of procedure (whichever comes first).

What this means is that any naturalized citizen may stand for nomination to become the new leader of the Canadian Nationalist Party.

I am making this decision because in order to remain fair, the position of party leader must be potentially available to any naturalized Canadian.

Although Elections Canada claims that our party is no longer registered, I maintain that our party was de-registered in violation of Canadian law. Therefore, the leadership contest will be conducted internally in accordance with the Canada Elections Act.

Canadian Nationalist Party event (showing guest speaker) held at Royal Canadian Legion Branch 344 in May of 2018.

Notice of Leadership Contest
If a registered party proposes to hold a leadership contest, the party’s chief agent shall file with the Chief Electoral Officer a statement setting out the dates on which the leadership contest is to begin and end.

– Section 478.1(1), Canada Elections Act

The terms of the contest are such that a new leader ought not to be determined by way of popular vote (every individual casting a ballot of equal weight). This is so because I don’t believe ballot casting to be the “nationalistic way”. The opinion of some simply carries more weight than others. Certain people should be able to influence their government to a greater degree than others. Indeed, when democracy consists of every divergent motive casting an equal say in the function of their government, it becomes stagnant, and the people whom democracy is meant to serve, are neglected.

The strongest and most intelligent have a divine right to rule. Therefore, our leadership contest will not be a display of ballot casting, but one of Canadian trivia.

Yes, the leader of the party must demonstrate they have the best working knowledge as it relates to Canadian society, history, and government.

This contest of trivia will be administered by an impartial panel of questioners and judges.

For each question answered correctly, a contestant will earn 1 point, and these points will continue accumulating for the duration of the contest. Each trivia session will feature 10 questions posed to the contestants. Trivia sessions will be held on a periodic (monthly) basis until the conclusion of the contest (whenever the 46th Federal Election is called). If no writ is issued by the Governor General, the contest will continue until one contestant accumulates 30 points more than any other contestant.

If a new leader were chosen using this method, many aspects of the party would be subject to change. However, in outlining the parameters of this leadership contest, there are 3 things that I ask not to be changed by any party leader:

  1. The party name ‘Canadian Nationalist Party’.
  2. The party website domain name ‘www.nationalist.ca‘.
  3. The party logo/symbol:
Medicinal Sun Wheel, Official Symbol of the Canadian Nationalist Party

I also reserve my right to compete in any such leadership contest myself. For now, I remain the incumbent leader.

Membership eligibility will continue to be open to naturalized Canadians only.

If you are someone who is interested in contesting leadership, you may apply by email (info@travispatron.ca) with subject line ‘Leadership Contest’.

A person may participate in this leadership contest at any point prior to its conclusion. However, in order to apply, the contestant must provide personal identification.

In order to facilitate this contest, the Canadian Nationalist Party reserves the right to peaceful public assembly in accordance with section 2(c) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

Note: the contest original stated it would be concluded when one contestant accumulated 50 points more than any other contestant. This target has been reduced to 30 points more than any other contestant.
