« I read with great interest the Preston Manning interview carried in the National Post on June 2. As my former leader, a colleague, and a great friend, I’m always impressed by his wisdom and intellect and pay close attention to his well-thought-out opinions.
The headline stated, “…sticking to status quo in the face of Alberta separation is extremely unwise.” I agree.
But then the article went on to say Preston believes that when the majority of the province’s citizens vote for Alberta to “remain” in Canada, the sovereignty option within the federation will need “a push.”
However, not for the first time, I find myself in disagreement.»
