Your party can't have moved very from from these statements, made last winter:
Quote:
Cory Morgan, the Wildrose Alliance's vice-president of policy, said that typically, Albertan desire for separation from the rest of Canada tends to rise and fall, frequently and sporadically.
"People are hot and bothered now, and you know, we've had a spike in the people calling in and saying “I've had it, I want out . . . but then typically, when the issue cools down, people tend to draw back a little from their desire for separation."
Morgan said that what the alliance needs to do now is redirect the rage away from a big step like complete separation from the country, and instead, focus on smaller incremental steps. This would include setting up legal mechanisms in the Alberta legislature that would allow for a future referendum on separation.
"We want to get more Albertans to not be afraid of talking about secession, and events like this can help push the dialogue forwards," said Morgan.

Less than a year ago, and that sounds like separation was your direction at that point in time.

Edit: Sorry - it appears those statements were made in 2007, so a couple years ago. I'm not sure that changes anything, but I do stand corrected.
