I don't know if I would be in favor of seperation as much as I loathe the Liberals. But I would be in favor of jacking up our oil prices to the rest of the country, and forcing Canada to pay a premium for our resources.
I would also be in total favor of using the supreme court if the Kyoto accords are implemented as they will do harm to Alberta's economy and the Liberals are also talking about us burdening a unfair share of its implementation.
Yes, it's so completely unfair and undemocratic that a province with 40% of Canada's population gets 40% of the representation in Parliament while poor Alberta's share is only 10%, seeing as only 10% of Canadians live in this province.
If its a federal government then it has to take into account Western and Alberta concerns and not completely put Ontario and Quebec's concerns over top of our needs. Otherwise you might as well just call Canada a Ontario dominated government.
And while elections may be based stupididly on rep by pop, you can't base running the country on that.
In fact government wise having a Liberal minority trying to appease a Conservative opposition is better than having a conservative minority that gets trampled on by three other parties.
Thats the problem, its never going to happen as we can see now. the Liberal's have never even tried rapproachment with the Conservatives, instead taking the opening pop shots at the Conservatives in the event for the election.
ie
press - will you try to work with the conservatives over the possibility of a vote of non confident
Liberals - Those evil conservative bas**rds are trying to privatize health care while carting homosexuals off to consentration camps.
Also the Liberals were totally in favor of opening our wallets to appease the wack jobs in the NDP. Trading tax cuts for more stupid and un neccesary spending in order to keep thier grip on power.
I would be all in favour of Alberta pulling a Quebec and start demanding favored status in exchange for staying in the confederation.
