The Plan

Our mission is simple. We want to make sure the West becomes as wealthy, free, and strong as we all know it can be. To achieve this goal, we at the Western Unity Group advocate for certain policy positions, citizen participation in politics, and stronger communities.

Fighting for the West

Our organization stands for Albertans and westerners. We created this Group in order to ensure westerners of all backgrounds can have their voices heard. Politics in the west have been dominated by public sector unions and special interest groups primarily through the utilization of Third Party Advertising. This is a very effective strategy, but the consequence is often policy that benefits a select few while leaving most westerners out. The Western Unity Group was formed in order to provide these excluded people with a voice, whether they are a business executive in a major urban centre or an independent farmer in a rural area.

Here’s How

Economic Abundance

Alberta and the west is the economic heart of Canada, but it seems that many previous governments do their best to hamper the western advantage as much as possible. The Western Unity Group advocates concrete policy positions that will ensure business isn’t held back by ineffective government, but instead supported on the national and international stage by a provincial administration that champions western employers and employess.

The West First

Due to a combination of the west’s economic success and weak political leadership, we have been exploited unfairly by our fellow Canadians for too long. Reconciliation on this front has been promised by many governments, but nothing tangible has ever come as a result. We want to see the west stand up for itself through the acquisition of rigorous autonomy within Canada. It is time for Alberta to lead the charge of uniting the west by championing a western identity that will be recognized as a fair partner within confederation.

Here’s How

Community Participation

One of the main reasons behind our provinces’ ineffective leadership is the lack of participation by western citizens. We may vote when a general election arrives, but most do not get involved beyond that. Through participation within different political parties, local constiuency associations, and community building events, westerners who may otherwise feel demoralized or disenfranchised with the system can exercise their power as Canadians to shape the future of the region.
