Who said that?
A democracy is supposed to represent the will of the majority while protecting the rights of minorities. Not once have I ever suggested the minority should rule, just that they shouldn't be subjected to discriminatory laws.

How exactly are the rights of Albertans being protected? Seems like we're being financially taken advantage of instead.

Are you saying our "rights" have been comprimised? How so? [/b][/quote]
Or that Alberta's fortune is protected by the constitution?
Just the opposite is true, actually. Transfer payments from richer provinces to less forutunate ones are guaranteed by the Constitution Act. Alberta keeping all it's wealth in-province is not.
