I can't believe this post even exists.
Everytime I here Albertans talk about seperation I just have to laugh.
What is so bad about our deal in Alberta, Canada?
We're the richest province in the Country, in a city that is constantly named one of the best in the world and I think alot of people let that go to their heads.
It's like people just need something to complain about cuz they have no real problems.
And please tell me how you seperatists keep equating Quebec's want to seperate with Alberta? Quebec doesn't want the same Canada or government as Albertans. The two are more opposed than they are with Ont.
And things that the Libs do like the Adscam are not shots at Alberta, they are shots at all of Canada.
I'm reading alot of ra ra pro Alberta here, but no real examples of what the rest of the country has done to wrong us. Please explain to me what is soo bad about Alberta's deal right now?

The Alberta gov't tightened their belt way back in 93-94 to cut costs to start paying the largest debt of any province in Canada. That debt was largely due to the Federal Liberal Party's raping of Alberta with the NEP. The NEP sucked the life out of this province. If you don't remember I suggest you talk to your parents or grandparents about what happened here. The economy was so bad that successive Alberta Gov't overspent in vain attempts to get the economy going.
Klein turned Alberta around with his cuts in programs and gov't waste. In the 90's Alberta was paying off it's debt, not just balancing the budget, without much income coming from the Oilpatch....as it was devastated. Witht he turnaround in oil prices the paying off the debt accelerated and eventually was complete. Trust me..the only thing we can thank the Federal Gov't for is releasing Alberta fromthe NEP.....Conservative Gov't that is.
Now a VERY corrupt, bigotted, lying over and over and over again, money stealing group of Liberals want to bring in a SUPERCHARGED version of the NEP. Trust me, when they do...not if, you'll be looking for a place to live in another province because there will be no jobs here.
Now, supposedly, the 'Liberal' Gov't of Canada is suppose to represent the entire country...protect us...help us. Yet we see them bend over backwards to give Ontario loopholes to drive GMC trucks through....yet surprisingly...Alberta looks to be set to be bent over the railing for 'another go'. Go figure. I can really understand why people don't want to continue to be serfs to Ontario and Quebec.
