United Provinces of Western Canada

Western Canadians are increasingly treated as second-class citizens - economically, culturally, and politically - within the current Canadian federation.

Without meaningful change, we face continued decline, growing subjugation to centralized control, and the long-term risk of foreign absorption driven by economic instability.

There is a better path forward:

The United Provinces of Western Canada (UPWC) - a cooperative, confident, and future-focused vision that honors our past while building a sovereign, prosperous future.

The Role of This Platform

This platform is designed to elevate the articulate voices of all Western Canadians. We strongly encourage civic participation as individuals - not solely through group identity - to build a culture of personal responsibility, open dialogue, and democratic decision-making. A balanced and civil conversation is not only possible - it is constitutionally protected.

"Everyone has the freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communication."

— Section 2(b), Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms

Any attempt to suppress, interfere with, or discredit this platform - or its users - must be seen as a clear violation of basic human rights and democratic freedoms.

Now is the time for Western Canada to establish a long-term vision - spanning the next 100 years - grounded in truth, accountability, and a commitment to freedom.

With transparency, participation, and trust, this platform aspires to guide our region toward a society that maximizes liberty, builds prosperity, and contributes meaningfully to the global community.
