What the **** is wrong with them ? Why do they take it so personally when one national party loses over another ? Why do they blame the Liberal party when oil prices dive ? Why don't they see where things are going with oil & gas ?
Now they're talking separatism ? We blew $4.5B on a pipeline for some reason...
I'm going to start calling them the Quebec of the west...
If the federal government, as voted in by most people in most of the other provinces, actively works against their major economic interests while AB provides much of the gov tax revenue & equalization payments, why wouldn't they be very angry? Oil and gas is going nowhere anytime soon. But fact is the Liberals haven't been terrible to AB, they bought the pipeline to push it through but couldn't. They've done an ok job trying to balance AB and national economic interests with climate change efforts.
Personally i have no problem letting provinces decide their own destiny in most areas. More local control over our politics is much better than the central gov led by one party trying to ram things down people's throats while alienating different parts of the country.
IMO since AB didn't vote for the Liberals, the Liberals should stay out of AB's business if they know what's good for the country.
