Hinman doesn't give the voters in his own backyard enough credit. If Harper does not win a majority, and he wont, we aren't going to get pissed off at the East for not supporting the Conservatives. We know full well how the vote is shaping up and why.
Alienation is not going to occur because of how the east votes. It will occur because of how the ruling party treats us, especially if it is based in the East. Alienation/Separatism reached it's peak when Trudeau sold Alberta out to subsidize Ontario. Putting aside the NDP, who will never form a government, only the Liberal's carbon scam poses the threat of increasing alienation, and that likely won't touch what the NEP did.
Hinman is way overblowing a non-existent possibility.
