Alberta Rising - A PRINCIPLED VISION FOR A SOVEREIGN AND FREE NATION: Reclaiming Liberty, Redefining Government, and Realizing the True Potential of a Free Alberta

Alberta Rising: A Principled Vision for a Sovereign and Free Nation

"Alberta Rising" is a bold, ideas-driven roadmap for Albertans who sense that "managing decline" isn't a strategy-and that a freer, fairer future is possible. Drawing on political philosophy, economics, and Alberta's lived experience, Nadine Wellwood lays out a clear, peaceful case for provincial sovereignty and deep reform: limited government, equal justice under one law, voluntary exchange, and a citizen-first constitution.

This isn't another grievance book. It's a plan to build-rooted in liberty, accountability, and real-world practicality.

Inside, you'll discover:

• The case for sovereignty-economic, legal, cultural, and moral.

• A citizen's constitution-rights that are clear and enforceable, with power constrained by design.

• A post-tax model-funding essential services through resource royalties, user-pays, and a sovereign wealth fund.

• Education without indoctrination-choice-based, competitive schooling that serves families, not bureaucracy.

• Health care that works-universal access without monopoly, with transparency, innovation, and patient choice.

• Sound money and sovereign wealth-policies to protect purchasing power and invest for generations.

• Defense and diplomacy-a decentralized, defensive posture and trade-first neutrality.

• Citizenship and immigration-equal justice under one law and a merit-based, culture-forward policy.

What's inside the book: a concise foreword and eleven focused chapters covering founding principles, sovereignty, constitutional design, a post-tax state, education, health care, finance, defense and neutrality, citizenship, and Alberta's role in the world-plus substantive appendices featuring a Founding Statement of Principles, a draft Constitution, and an Alberta Bill of Rights.

Who should read this: citizens, students, policy-makers, entrepreneurs, community leaders, and anyone-whether pro- or anti-separation-who wants a rigorous, good-faith blueprint to debate and improve.

Praise for the ideas inside:
