Mandate

Fairness Alberta is committed to ensuring future generations of Albertans enjoy good jobs, opportunity, and a high quality of life—while gaining the respect Alberta deserves for its major contributions to Canada. Formed by passionate Albertans, the group educates Canadians on Alberta’s economic role and the harm caused by unfair federal policies, including fiscal, energy and other policies.

Despite ongoing challenges and limited federal support, Fairness Alberta remains focused on clear, fact-based analysis and practical solutions. Through public education and advocacy, it promotes reforms to build a fairer and more prosperous federation for Alberta and Canada alike.

How we are different:

  • Non-partisan
  • Fact-based
  • Focus on federal issues

The federal government is ignoring our Equalization vote.  Since the October 18 referendum a bloated and unfair Equalization has cost us:

A Strong Alberta = A Strong Canada

As someone who grew up and was educated in Ottawa and then came to Alberta for a successful career, I believe I owe it to this province to support Fairness Alberta.

Our kids are counting on us
