Alywn Bramley-Moore (July 3, 1878 – April 4, 1916) was a provincial politician, author and soldier from Alberta, Canada. He served as a member of the Legislative Assembly of Alberta from 1909 to 1913 sitting with the Liberal caucus in government. After his political career he served in the Canadian Expeditionary Force in World War I from 1914 to his death in 1916. Early life He homesteaded a farm near Lloydminster moving to Edmonton in 1910. He met and married Ellen Nellie Grieve (1877-1950). They had two daughters and one son William (later a prominent Edmonton doctor). (William Bramley-Moore (1906-1976) is the namesake of an Edmonton park.) Political career Bramley-Moore ran for a seat to the Legislative Assembly of Alberta in the 1909 Alberta general election as the Liberal candidate in the electoral district of Alexandra. He defeated the other candidate, future MLA James Lowery, in a landslide victory, taking 65 percent of the vote. He served only a single term in the provincial legislature, sitting in the back benches on the Government (Liberal) side of the Legislative Assembly. In 1911, he wrote Canada and Her Colonies, or Home Rule for Alberta. This book sets forth a claim for the end of the protective tariff that is "designed to build up Canadian industries," mostly located in central Canada. He also called on the federal government to grant Alberta control of its natural resources and Crown lands (finally achieved in 1929). He described Alberta as a colony of the Phoenician type (that is, settled by emigrants of he home country) and not a colony of the Roman type (a conquered people). He states that just as in 1911 the Irish were accorded by many the right to Home Rule so should Alberta's right be recognized. He though did not call for secession of the West (the territory west of a line drawn from Port Arthur (Thunder Bay) to the Hudsons Bay). He wrote "We are not urging the secession of the West from the East but we are endeavouring to show that such a result must ensue unless a change in her system of colonial government is made by Canada." He feared for the result if reforms were not made, saying "The laws of evolution are inexorable, and resistance will only result in a catastrophe." The 1911 Canadian election produced a win for the Conservatives who were strongly in support of
