Less than a year ago, and that sounds like separation was your direction at that point in time.
Let's remember the context.

A quotes from a newspaper during a time when there was a possible federal NDP/LIB/BLOC coalition.
And really what did he say; he supports referendum. Yes, we still support referenda; we have never supported separation.

Another reality of grassroots policy development is that some members will submit some let’s say less than rational proposals at times. Opponents try to paint the party as radical when they get wind of such things at times. What really counts is how well those oddball policy proposals are received when presented to the membership at an AGM. The policy calling for an immediate referendum on separation from Canada was dropped by it’s proponent after the membership resoundingly rejected her other proposal to have the party principle speaking to working within a unified Canada dropped. This should put to rest those trying to paint the Wildrose Alliance as being a separatist party. Somebody tried to move the party into that direction of political suicide and the attempt was rejected en-masse by the gathered members. Those who want to pursue a separatist mandate should join the Separation Party of Alberta and share in the 1% showing that they had in the one constituency that they contested in the last general election.

You should read this book if you really want a clear picture on my husband's position on separation.
