Thus each province would restrain the power of the densely populated provinces and the Senate would be a regional voice mechanism. Indian land claims, which today create insolvable problems and tribal homelands with special rights based on race, are being constitutionally entrenched. Many people see the danger of this institutional minority racism, but can see no solution. As the captain of the ship of state, the Western Canadian government can constitutionally establish that the land belongs to all the people individually and the individual rights of Indian people can be recognized without the deadening hand of separate status. This solution breaks the division between peoples and builds the option of a new future where every individual has equal rights.
Institutional racism is no way to fight racism, and equal rights for all is the only solution.
A further positive advantage of independence lies in the common language and culture which has tried to emerge in the last 50 years. English as the official common language could be declared as Western Canada becomes free of the stultifying hand of the ancient custom and constitution of Canada with its entrenched confusion and conflict of bilingualism and biculturalism. We can be better friends and neighbours with Quebec after we separate from Canada compared with now, burdened with the resentment of watching our equalization dollars bribe Quebec to remain in Canada. In Western Canada only one official language would be necessary. Proficiency in English would be the only linguistic requirement for success in the military or civil service of Western Canada.
