And what percentage of Canada's GDP is because of Alberta? I'll bet its over 10%.

What does that have to do with anything? You're not seriously proposing some kind of "representation by economic impact" system, are you?

And my personal favorite, in 1993 when the Conservatives recieved 16% of the votes and got a whopping 2 seats (0.007% of seats)!!!

I think you need to check your math. The PC party had two out of 295 seats in 1993, or 0.7%, not 0.007.

It was a typo.. big deal. If your argument against my post depends on that, I suggest you find a new one.
As for your first comment I believe it has alot to do with it. 10% of Canada gets largely ignored, thats not right. We should have more influence than we do currently. If 10% of Canada is contributing an exceptional amount to the country, why shouldn't they get alittle more voice? If someone at your work contributes alot to a certain project, I feel that they deserve a larger reward than someone who did little. In this case Alberta is that person!
