Major addition for Bruce Hutton

Hello Wikipedians interested in Alberta politics. I have removed the stub notation and filled in the history of this man, based on published bios of the Separation Party. Also corrected dead link. Separation ideas in Alberta are moving along rather quickly, presumably due to Liberal government election of Trudeau junior, and many people have interest to know origins of these ideas. Enjoy! Kermit7 —Preceding undated comment added 16:16, 29 July 2018 (UTC)

The first paragraph of the "Jailing Albertans" section lacks the neutrality that would be expected of a Wikipedia article. The now-defunct Wheat Board was undeniably problematic and controversial, but this section should provide some context about the Board, namely that it only applied (by its original design in the 1930s) to wheat and barley farmers in the Western provinces. As it reads right now without that context, this paragraph leads an unaware reader to think that the arrests were arbitrarily done by the "[bad] federal Liberal government" at the time solely because the farmers were from Alberta. May I respectfully suggest more neutral wording that would befit Wikipedia yet still convey the source of the discontent at the time that served as the impetus for Hutton's mobilization into political action? Perhaps:

In October 2002, 13 Alberta farmers were jailed for selling their own product contrary to the regulations imposed at the time through the Canadian Wheat Board. Given that those regulations did not apply to farmers east of Manitoba, they were seen by Western farmers as a double standard and a severe injustice to Alberta. This incident galvanized Hutton into political action.

Notice that I didn't make the change without first talking about it, as I realize this is a politically charged topic. If this were a personal blog or a political party's website, I would have kept this comment to myself, but I think it's important for Wikipedians to find ways of conveying facts and ideas without showing their own political leanings -- whatever they are.
