How does anything in our culture disappear? Generational change, I suppose. Maybe hyphenated identity is important to people and will never disappear.
Ok, well from my perspective it IS disappearing as I don't hear it much anymore.
I think if people were overwhelmingly Canadian, they wouldn’t be Albertan first. Canada should buy a pipeline in the interest of Canada, not to appease a province. You just summed up the problem right there by using “we” and “them”. Aren’t “they” just fellow Canadians?
"We" = all Canadians and "They" being any subset.
But my point is that strong central government and intervention - in this case to help - seemed to have the opposite effect.
The province owns the oil resources based on an agreement where the Feds handed that responsibility over in the early 1900’s (which they shouldn’t have done). Now it’s Alberta’s oil. Not Canada’s oil.
Ok. Gotcha now.
