A simple question, March and Winsor:

What has Canada contributed to Alberta's success?

Is our province and city great because of the hard work of the people of Canada, as represtented by Ottawa, or the people of Alberta?

Flame On - That is one of the aspects of seperation that would need to be negotiated.

Your hypothetical is extremely simplistic. As much as you may wish it were so, this is not a fight because we are Conservative and they are Liberal. This is a fight because we have no voice whatsoever at the federal level. So long as a Western Republic ensured that the voices of all of it's citizens are fairly represented, then simply being Liberal minded in a Conservative country would not be the impetus for seperation.

Of course, the Klien PC's could make a strong statment in that direction by reforming the political electoral system as well...
