November 2023: Resolutions Passed by Alberta’s UCP

A major event occurred two weeks ago (on November 5th, to be exact) that will have significant impact on the present and future of Canada. However, if you rely solely on mainstream media, you likely haven't heard about it. Alberta’s United Conservative Party, the current governing party in the province, held its first Annual General Meeting. Not only was it the largest AGM in the history of the province, but amid everything happening in the country and globally, they presented and adopted a number of resolutions that bring new hope for many, not just Albertans but all Canadians.

Read for yourself and savour each of them. Then ponder why these are not covered in Canadian mainstream channels. Instead, all you would potentially hear about the current Albertan government from outlets like CTV, CBC, etc., is mostly in conjunction with words like “radical”, “ultra-right”, etc.

The question for you, dear reader, is where do YOU want to live? In a country/region where the governing party adopts resolutions like those listed below or in a country/region where they do not?..

The Resolutions Passed by Alberta’s UCP at their AGM. Historical and yet silenced by mainstream media

You will not hear about these resolutions in any Canadian mainstream media. Is that because these resolutions show how bad it has become elsewhere in Canada?..

Albertans Say Yes to Informed Consent, Free Expression, Medical Privacy, Doctors Speaking Out, Cash, and Parents' Rights

"Protect an individual’s right to informed consent decisions regarding their own body."

This resolution has just been passed by the ruling Conservative Party in Alberta:

Resolution:

The United Conservative Party believes the Government of Alberta should…

b) Protect an individual’s right to informed consent decisions regarding their own body.

Rationale: Informed consent is the cornerstone of every single medical procedure that is offered in Canada and autonomy of self is enshrined in Canadian law and upheld by the Supreme Court of Canada. Under no circumstances regardless of provincial, federal, national, or international directive, treaty, mandate, or law should any Albertan not have the right to say no to any medical treatment, therapy, vaccine or otherwise against their own wishes. No government, business, corporation, entity, non-profit, or any other organization, institution or society has the right to mandate, force, or coerce an individual into a medical intervention or procedure, regardless of the societal benefit or otherwise. Believing that there is a societal good to be had in such force, coercion, or mandate is not acceptable as the rights of the individual cannot be abandoned or sacrificed on the altar of society as society is not a living breathing thing, it is only a concept.

And this:

Resolution:

The United Conservative Party believes the Government of Alberta should…

b) Protect an individual’s right to privacy and confidentiality of their health care information.

Rationale:

The Alberta government is responsible for delivering health care in our province and as such collects and uses an individual’s health information to deliver care efficiently and successfully. During the recent pandemic, many businesses, institutions, organizations and even governments infringed on the constitutionally protected rights and freedoms of many Albertans based on an individual’s health status. Health decisions are private and as such these decisions must not be allowed to become a tool for limiting these rights and freedoms. An individual’s right to accept or deny any and all medical treatments, procedures, vaccines, and or therapies must be allowed to be included in their health care records without that information being a requirement for employment, health care, travel, or access to public and or private goods and services.

And this:

Resolution:

The United Conservative Party believes the Government of Alberta should…

c) Protect an individual’s right to free expression.

Rationale:

Recent events saw Albertans being censored for their scientific, personal, and or religious beliefs regarding government policies because there was a perceived societal benefit to do so. Our Prime Minister, Chief Medical Officers, health care authorities, the media, employers, unions, police, military, border security, schools, universities, businesses, and many other people in positions of authority took it upon themselves to censor, isolate, vilify, place on leave of absence without pay, and or outright fire people that did not ascribe to their and or the government’s policy of the day. Many professionals, highly educated individuals, and or concerned critical thinking citizens were censored, ridiculed and or otherwise ignored for simply speaking out against and or not accepting the proffered government position on a subject and that may or may not have been correct, and such action on their part is reprehensible. Albertans were singled out and made to suffer hardships for no other reason than their beliefs were different from the authority/authorities in question.

And this:

Resolution: The United Conservative Party believes that the Government of Alberta should…

b) Protect a medical practitioner’s right to research, speak, and write; and protect Medical Doctors and all healthcare professionals from having their licenses to practice threatened for publicly expressing professional medical opinions in any public setting.

Rationale:

During the Covid-19 crisis doctors had their physician licenses suspended and others lost their positions as university professors for speaking out about things like the importance of getting informed consent. Others were threatened for expressing their concerns about how quickly vaccines were being pushed upon the public without facing the test of time, or for expressing their concerns about serious negative side effects that they had witnessed after their patients had received a Covid-19 vaccine. The ‘scientific method’ requires skepticism and ongoing debate to ensure that medical practices and treatment are safe and effective. To ensure that we have the best medicines, vaccines, and medical practices possible we must always protect freedom of opinion and expression by medical professionals and scientists regardless of whether they are working in society, privately, or at universities, especially during times of crisis.

And this:

Resolution:

The United Conservative Party believes that the Government of Alberta should…

a) Protect Albertans’ right to have access to goods and services using cash and the option to bank with provincially regulated institutions that supply cash instead of Digital Currency.

Rationale:

Albertans are concerned about protecting their financial assets and do not trust Digital Currency because: • Digital currency is too easily manipulated. • It could easily become a key element for social credit systems. • Many older and low-income people rely on cash transactions and do not have access to credit/debit cards. • The federal government has shown their willingness to freeze bank accounts and Central Bank Digital Currency makes it easier. • The Federal Minister of Finance speaks openly about taking funds from personal bank accounts, making life difficult in a cashless society. • Central Bank control can eliminate small and medium sized banks.

And this:

Resolution:

The United Conservative Party believes the Government of Alberta should…

e) Ban post-secondary institutions from the use of race as a factor in any admissions program or procedure.

Rationale:

Numerous colleges and universities in Alberta have alternative admissions programs for applicants identified as being members of disadvantaged racial groups. Such procedures allow individuals to enter higher education based on their racial or ethnic identity, and not on merit. This only serves to denigrate the sense of personal responsibility among many young people and leads to a less qualified and less conscientious class of credentialed individuals. There exists very little evidence to support the thesis that similar programs, commonly known as “positive discrimination” or “affirmative action”, do anything to ameliorate the conditions of disadvantaged racial groups in the long term. The Supreme Court of the United States in Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard recently ruled that the use of race as a factor in university admissions was unconstitutional. It is the responsibility of the Alberta government to act similarly, ensuring that Albertans are free from discrimination based on race, ethnicity, or colour. The elimination of these discriminatory programs would be a great leap in that direction.

And this:

Resolution:

The United Conservative Party believes the Government of Alberta should…

g) Require teachers, schools, and school boards to obtain the written consent of the parent/guardian of a student under the age of 16 prior to changing the name and/or pronouns used by the student.

Rationale:

The Conservative governments of Saskatchewan and New Brunswick recently implemented the requirements for parental consent for schools to use an alternate name or pronoun for a student. Parents, not schools, are the legal guardians of their children. As was noted by Saskatchewan Education Minister Duncan, schools require a signed permission slip to take children on a field trip so it’s unclear why schools should not require parental consent for identification changes. Schools should not be in the business of going behind parents’ backs.

And this:

Resolution:

The United Conservative Party believes that the Government of Alberta should...

e) Ensure post-secondary institutions shall be places of free thought and learning of employable skills by eliminating all Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) offices at all public universities, colleges, technical institutes, and trades schools and all adult education institutions. They are not places for indoctrination of identity politics, reverse racism, or radicalization. Any postsecondary institution that maintains a DEI office, policy, or equivalent shall lose government financial support.

Rationale:

The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) offices at universities, colleges, and post-secondary institutions have become the enforcement arm of woke ideologues on campuses. By removing them, it will become much easier to effect changes from 202.4 a) which intends to guarantee freedom of speech on campuses.

And this:

Resolution:

The United Conservative Party believes the Government of Alberta should…

g) Oppose the federal expansion of Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) qualifying criteria to include those suffering solely from mental illness and oppose the future legalization of MAiD as a care option for minor children.

h) Establish protocols for provincial implementation of the federally legalized MAiD program, wherein: • Healthcare workers in any facility shall not be allowed to present or promote MAiD to a patient as a care option. The procedure must be considered a tragic last resort and only be discussed with a patient of legal age upon request by said patient or their proxy. • Individual healthcare workers and private hospice facilities must have their rights to freedom of conscience honored when deciding to participate in administering MAiD.

Rationale:

The Federal government’s original 2016 legalization of euthanasia was allowable only for those whose death “was reasonably foreseeable.” Since then, the qualifying criteria has rapidly loosened to include approval where “suffering is immense” or the person is “afflicted with a grave and severe syndrome.” In 2024, the Federal government is set to extend this option to those whose sole grievance is associated with mental illness. Also, a Special Joint Committee on Medical Assistance in Dying (“MAiD”) was formed in May of 2022 and its recommendations for including access for Minors and Mature Minors were tabled in the House of Commons on February 15, 2023. Canada has taken a much different approach than other countries where assisted suicide was legalized. For example, in the State of California it is illegal for healthcare professionals to present physician assisted death to patients as a viable medical care option. Compare that with Canada, where the Canadian Association of MAiD Assessors and Providers (CAMAP) is one of Canada’s primary MAIDprovider organizations and has received C$3.3 million from the government to develop a curriculum for MAID providers. They have been promoting the practice of bringing up the procedure to patients unsolicited. While California had only 522 of these deaths in 2021, Canada (with roughly the same population as California) saw 10,064 and our country’s numbers have been increasing by 33% every year.

In British Columbia, the government mandated that all non-religious, provincially funded facilities must allow MAiD on their premises. When the Delta Hospice Society refused to implement the health order as a matter of freedom of conscience, the government seized control of the facility which was built with privately raised funds, but on provincial land. We require equality under the law - just as those who would like the right to choose medically assisted suicide should have access to a facility that offers it, those who wish to receive life-affirming care, free from the pressure to choose an early, unnatural death, should have a safe space to live out their last days. A constitutional democracy protects those with minor positions from the mob of a majority driven democracy. Canada is currently being viewed as the “cautionary tale” around the world for our approach. A senior bioethics investigator with the US National Institutes of Health, cited Canada as the world’s “most radically medicalized system of providing assisted dying. As we have seen, this MAID ideology – one shared by no other jurisdiction in the world – has made fact-based policy making nearly impossible in Canada. Unless its spell is broken, it is difficult to see how a further deepening of the crisis can be avoided, for no set of “safeguards” born from the ideology will be able to protect the society’s most vulnerable from the “helping hand” of medicine.” Even though it was Federal jurisdiction to legalize this program, it is up to the provinces to decide how it will be implemented in our healthcare systems. In Alberta, let’s put the focus back on life-affirming care and suicide prevention, and offer people hope and healing instead of a quick end.

And this:

Resolution:

The United Conservative Party believes the Government of Alberta should…

d) Prohibit any land use or development planning initiatives that would restrict movement of residents as per Section 6 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms

Rationale:

There is much debate over the implementation of design strategies in urban areas which are known as “15 Minute Cities”. Planners defend their usage, stating their aim is to make cities more livable by ensuring that all essential services — think schools, medical care, and shops — are within the distance of a short walk or bicycle ride. Broadly, the idea is to cut down on long commutes and car emissions and improve people's quality of life by ensuring they have access to quality services where they live, which are all benign and noble goals. However, in the United Kingdom, where the City of Oxford has begun implementing these designs, Oxfordshire County council has recently passed a bylaw that will prevent excess movement between zones. “People can drive freely around their own neighborhood and can apply for a permit to drive through the filters, and into other neighborhoods, for up to 100 days per year.” states the Oxford Mail. Traffic camera filters are installed on major roads between zones that operate 7 days a week, 7am-7pm to enforce this.

And this:

Resolution:

The United Conservative Party believes that the Government of Alberta should…

e) Prevent concerns about electoral fraud in Albertan elections by (at a minimum) banning, except by plebiscite, all use of any and all electronic machines for tabulation or counting of ballots for any provincial election.

Rationale:

There is concern that in Alberta there is potential weakness in the electoral system in the sectors of Secure Voting Systems, Paper Trail and Auditing, and Cybersecurity Measures. Two of those can be addressed simply by ending electronic tabulation of ballots. The remaining one can potentially be addressed through such options as: a) All ballot boxes to be monitored in person, or by video broadcast by internet, or both, from the moment they are closed until they are opened for counting; or b) Consider switching from advance polling to multiday elections.

And this:

Resolution:

The United Conservative Party believes that the Government of Alberta should...

c) Support the establishment of a Digital Bill of Rights that outlines the following rights: • The right to privacy, including the protection of personal data and the ability to control its use. • The right to free expression and access to information without censorship or surveillance. • The right to security, including protection against cyber-attacks and breaches. • The right to transparency, including clear and understandable terms and conditions for digital services. • The right to access and ownership of personal data, including the ability to easily transfer it between services. • The right to due process, including fair treatment and legal recourse in the event of digital violations.

Rationale: The increasing use of technology and digital platforms has led to concerns about the protection of individual privacy and data security, and there is a need for a comprehensive framework that outlines the fundamental rights of individuals in the digital age.

And this:

Resolution:

The United Conservative Party believes that the Government of Alberta should...

c) Recognize that Albertans have many endangered God-given rights and freedoms that are not formally affirmed in The Canadian Constitution, its enactments or Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

d) Support all forms of rights and freedoms including those protected by the Charter; those not formally affirmed in the Constitution, the Charter, the Canadian Bill of Rights or the Alberta Bill of Rights and in particular those called for throughout the Member Policy Declaration by collaborating with Albertans to define and affirm those rights and freedoms by:

I. Expanding existing fundamental freedoms (conscience, religion, thought, belief, opinion and expression, freedom of the press, peaceful assembly, and association) and rights (democratic rights, mobility rights, legal rights, equality rights, official languages, minority language and minority language education rights).

II. Adding the following rights: the right to keep arms, parents’ rights, right to self-defence, right to privacy of personal information and access to government information, swift due process for criminal and civil matters, the right to marry and enter a civil union.

III. Adding the following freedoms: freedom from over-taxation, freedom from unreasonable search and seizure, freedom to make personal healthcare choices.

IV. Securing rights and freedoms so that they: cannot be suspended by federal or provincial legislation, regulation, or Orders in Council; and irrevocable unless amended through referendum.

Rationale:

Albertans suffered under Federal: Emergency Measures Act (2022 truck parking problem); bans of legally purchased firearms; attacks on freedom of speech; and over-taxation wealth transfer to the East. Albertans suffered under provincial 2020-22 pandemic restrictions and the 2013 High River gun grab. Securing rights may be done through use of the Constitution (Distribution of Legislative Powers), Canadian or Alberta Bills of Rights or possibly the Alberta Sovereignty within a United Canada Act. Charter of Rights and Freedoms: (Preamble) “Whereas Canada is founded upon principles that recognize the supremacy of God and the Rule of Law” and Sec. 26 “The guarantee in this Charter of certain rights and freedoms shall not be construed as denying the existence of any other rights and freedoms… "; Part VI Sec. 92(13) of the Constitution Act (1867) “In each Province the Legislature may exclusively make Laws in relation to Matters coming within the Classes of Subjects … 13. Property and Civil Rights…”; (this exclusive authority could be used to: expand the Alberta Bill of Rights, amend The Alberta Act (as below) as part of Acts and other documents that form the Alberta Constitution or create a separate Act of the Legislature that details the God given Rights and Freedoms of Albertans; and Part V: Sec. 45 of the Constitution Act (1982) “each province may exclusively make laws amending the constitution of the province”; Sec. 52 (1) “The Constitution of Canada is the Supreme Law of Canada, and any law that is inconsistent with the provisions of the Constitution is, to the extent of the inconsistency, of no force or effect.”; and (2) The Constitution of Canada includes… (b) the Acts and orders referred to in the schedule; (i.e. Enactment No. 12 to the Schedule of the Constitution – The Alberta Act)

And this:

Resolution:

The United Conservative Party believes that the Government of Alberta should...

b) Enshrine the doctor-patient relationship by: • protecting Alberta physicians from undue third-party interference, • to neither compel physicians to prescribe treatments nor prohibit them from prescribing treatments, and • to include the right of physicians to prescribe off-label medications using their best discretion with the informed consent of the patient.

Rationale: In consideration of the routine nature of ‘off-label use’ of medications and in consideration of the nature of the doctor-patient relationship, undue third-party interference, even from the College of Physicians & Surgeons of Alberta, should not be tolerated. ‘Off-label use’ means the use of a Health Canada (or equivalent) approved pharmaceutical drug for a purpose or manner other than what the drug was originally approved for. The ability to prescribe drugs for uses beyond the originally approved purpose is commonly used to good effect by healthcare providers. During the Covid-19 crisis the College of Physicians & Surgeons of Alberta took unprecedented action to interfere with the doctor-patient relationship to specifically prohibit the use of off-label use of mediation for the treatment of Covid-19. In addition, doctors were prohibited from providing ‘vaccine exemptions’ for their own patients whom they considered to be at risk, based on previous health conditions, including predisposition to blood clotting or other conditions. Physicians must have their rights protected so that they are always able to do what they know is in the best interests of their patients.

And this:

Resolution:

The United Conservative Party believes that the Government of Alberta should…

c) Support a comprehensive Bill of Parental Rights which ensures that all legislation will recognize and support parents’ rights to be informed of and in charge of all decisions to do with all services paid for by the province, including education and health care.

Rationale:

Activist professionals have been interpreting various pieces of legislation in ways that minimize the authority of parents over their children. This has resulted in abuses across the realm of government services, including in education, health care, and justice. Without concrete guidance in legislation to interpret and safeguard that authority, it is likely that such abuses will become more pronounced. An elegant solution may be found in a “Bill of Parental Rights”, which recognizes parental rights as prior to the state, and provides such guidance in a firm manner. Parental involvement in the education of their children is currently recognized in Canadian constitutional case law, and in the Alberta Bill of Rights. There are very few legal protections however, that recognize and entrench parental authority with respect to making decisions regarding their children, free from government interference, such as but not limited to, health/medical decisions, religious instruction, and education.

And this:

Resolution:

The United Conservative Party believes that the Government of Alberta should...

c) Encourage increased nitrogen production in our petrochemical sector to reduce costs and improve the availability of fertilizer for Alberta farmers.

Rationale: Canadian and Alberta agriculture are highly dependent on nitrogen-based fertilizers. Nitrogen production and products, namely ammonia and urea, are mainly produced at Alberta locations. Alberta producers supply the large demand from the prairie provinces as well as the rest of Canada. The lone export destination of Canadian-produced ammonia and urea is the United States. It is through the U.S. that Canadian producers are tied to the international price for nitrogen. China, United States, India, and Russia are the world's top producers of nitrogen fertilizer. The RussianUkrainian war has resulted in decreased fertilizer production. Exacerbating the global decrease in fertilizers, in December 2020 the Federal government announced an impractical plan to reduce fertilizer application on Canadian farms by 30% as part of national targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Agriculture is at the heart of one of the greatest challenges of our time: increasing our productivity to feed a growing world population in a time of high inflation at the grocery store. Alberta has the necessary feedstock to increase production of nitrogen fertilizer. This policy advocacy statement calls on the Alberta Government to remove the gatekeepers that are preventing local manufacturing facilities from expanding to meet the provincial, national, and global demand.

And this:

Resolution:

The United Conservative Party believes that the Government of Alberta should…

h) Ensure that teachers, schools, school boards, and third parties providing services to kindergarten to Grade 12 schools do not provide access to materials of a sexual, racist, or abusive nature, including, but not limited to: books, handouts, online materials, and live events that are not part of the Alberta Program of Studies.

Rationale:

Many parents and teachers are complaining that school libraries contain books depicting abusive, racist, and sexual behaviour that is inappropriate for students. These books contain racism, bigotry, violence, sexual and physical abuse, and explicit sexual content via cartoon pornography. The content of these books could be considered as child pornography identified in Section 163.1 of the Criminal Code which seeks to protect minors under the age of 18. Furthermore, most parents are unaware that these types of books and materials are available. In addition, children are usually apprehensive and/or too embarrassed to bring this to the attention of their parents. School board policy typically does not prevent children from signing out a book for any reason. There is no reason for this sort of material to be made available at schools.

And this:

Resolution:

The United Conservative Party believes that the Government of Alberta should…

c) Not support the establishment of solar farms in the areas of the agricultural Canada Land Inventory (CLI) Class 1, 2, or 3 soils.

Rationale: Solar farms seem to sterilize agricultural land and leave behind toxic residues when the panels are replaced. Until these technological issues are resolved, solar farms should not be supported by government funds on the best agricultural lands in the province. The Canada Land Inventory shows the varying potential of a specific area for agricultural production. It indicates the classes and subclasses according to the Soil Capability Classification of Agriculture, which is based on characteristics of the soil as determined by soil surveys. The mineral soils are grouped into 7 classes and 13 subclasses according to the potential of each soil for the production of field crops. Broadly speaking, soil classes 1 through 3 are where Alberta’s prime agricultural land is located. • Class 1 soils have no significant limitations in use for crops. • Class 2 soils have moderate limitations that restrict the range of crops or require moderate conservation practices. • Class 3 soils have moderately severe limitations that restrict the range of crops or require special conservation practices.

And this:

Resolution:

The United Conservative Party believes that the Government of Alberta should...

A) make the Alberta Human Rights Tribunal and all other administrative and regulatory body hearings subject to the same rules of evidence and burden of proof as followed by the courts. The above resolution proposes to add the bolded text.

Rationale:

Professionals and trades are regulated by self-regulatory bodies, which are responsible for competence and professionalism. However, these regulatory bodies have unnecessarily expanded their mandates to discipline those who do not hold the same beliefs as they do. This jeopardizes the ability of all professionals and tradespeople, as they may be targeted for expressing different beliefs. Of concern is the way regulatory bodies engage in the disciplinary process, as they may base their cases on hearsay or untested evidence. Sometimes, these regulatory bodies may schedule hearings based on allegations dating nearly a decade back, where direct witnesses may no longer be alive and direct evidence may no longer be available. This in turn affects the ability of professionals and tradespeople to mount a proper defense, as the standard for finding guilt is tilted heavily against them, often using a “reverse onus” of being deemed guilty and having to prove innocence. By placing the same rules of evidence and burden of proof as followed by the courts, professionals and tradespeople charged with alleged misconduct are clear about how the allegations are supported and can mount a proper defense. Professionals and tradespeople can also be assured that the standard is not tilted against them, as the regulatory body must provide evidence to support their potential findings of guilt, which must be balanced against the member’s own evidence in rebuttal. By doing so, it allows professionals and tradespeople to continue their services without impediment, which in turn promotes economic growth and more choice for consumers.

And this:

Resolution:

United Conservative Party believes the Government of Alberta should...

a) Require all regulatory professional associations and trade organizations to limit investigations of their members for complaints regarding professional conduct of their members to instances of activities that occur while ‘on the job,’ and limit the application of any Code of Conduct to professional activities and exclude personal affairs.

Rationale:

The majority of professionals and trades are regulated by self-regulatory bodies, which are responsible for competence and professionalism. However, these regulatory bodies have unnecessarily expanded their mandates to discipline those who do not hold the same beliefs as they do. This jeopardizes the ability of all professionals and tradespeople, as they may be targeted for expressing different beliefs. Unclear standards like “conduct unbecoming” with no clarification or context, other than what the regulatory body defines the standard as, make it difficult for individuals to mount a proper defense against the charges. As well, regulatory bodies have the discretion to move the goalposts and amend charges without warning, meaning members of each profession may be stuck in investigations of indefinite lengths, sometimes involving conduct occurring while they are not on the job. This means professionals and tradespeople are often more focused on defending unfounded charges that have nothing to do with their competence, rather than providing their skills and services to the public. By focusing on set standards with clear definitions, it forces regulatory bodies to clearly define the standards of competence and professionalism. And by focusing on conduct occurring while on the job, it allows the members their individual freedom off the job, where they are free to live their lives without fear of losing their livelihoods. This allows professionals and tradespeople to continue their services without impediment, which in turn promotes economic growth and more choice for consumers.

And this:

Resolution:

The United Conservative Party believes that the Government of Alberta should…

b) Protect inmates who were female at conception and are housed at correctional and remand centers for women operated by Alberta’s Correctional Services by refusing to house any inmate who was male at conception at said correctional and remand centers.

Rationale:

It has become clear that some male predators are falsely changing their gender identity so they can be placed in a female penitentiary, where they engage in sexual predatory behaviors such as rape. Under this proposed policy, these genetically male prisoners will remain in male penitentiaries or be transferred to a facility for transsexual female inmates. The Government of Alberta has the responsibility of protecting all Albertans from harm, including those who are interned at our correctional facilities. By providing transpeople with their own facility, this will serve to protect the female inmates from the potential of sexual assaults.

That’s just some of them. According to the reports I saw, only one resolution (#19) didn’t pass. You can check them all out here.

If the other provinces don’t follow suit, I can see many people migrating to Alberta. Will this lead to independence from Canada?

Respondents were also asked if they would support a referendum if "the federal government is unwilling to negotiate with Alberta on a new constitutional arrangement", 48% said yes, while 52% said no.
