So what _are_ your reasons?# Don't want to pay taxes?#

hmmm, mabe he like the rest of us would actually like to be taxed the right amount????? Instead of paying 33% with government waste in the billions, why not tax us say 20% and provide the same services? Seems like rocket science to me.

And why would you think that a separate Albertan gov't wouldn't be prone to scandals either?
That strikes me as a naive view. We've seen both Liberal and Conservative scandals in the past, it's not like one ideology has a monopoly on it. It would seem that politicians can be corrupted, regardless of party.
Maybe the answer is to try and give more power to the auditor general, or have tigher controls on spending, or some other reforms. Not sure why the answer to this scandal would be to separate, I don't follow the logic. [/b][/quote]
Wasn't saying that it wouldn't (I am definetly not a seperatist). I was just responding to the question about not paying taxes. To me I feel that the people of Canada as a whole are getting screwed. I think that Alberta just feels alienated because the liberals (who are the ones that have been screwing us over) are going to be voted in again because the people in the East are terrified that the west will have more say if they were to vote the Conservatives in (which really isn't true). Thats my opinion anyways.
The reason that I think that the Conservatives should be voted in is more or less to punish what the Liberals have done, just like the PC's were punished after Malroney's term.
I love this country, but it could be better.
