A simple question, March and Winsor:
What has Canada contributed to Alberta's success?
|
This is a wierd question.
We're in Canada now. You're sitting on it. How do you extract Canada out of Alberta, and then try to identify its contributions? Sounds like we're restarting history.... now!
|
Not at all. Alberta has been the biggest net contributor in terms of transfer of wealth. It's more than fair for this province to ask for something back.
|
And what the pro-separatists seem to want is to be above democracy and let money (not population) equal power.
Not a great base ideology for starting a new republic on this continent.

I'm not much a separatist, but I think you're way off.
People get worked up over the cost of being in confederation because they're disenchanted already - it's not the money that makes them that way.
Quebecers have been p*ssed for a generation or 3, and for the most recent generation anyway they've been a net recipient of federal funds. [/b][/quote]
So Albertan separatism is in the same vein as Quebec's?
