Give us some election reform and then we can talk.
Woah!!! WOAH! WOAH!!!!!!!

(1) You believe that Alberta should have more power than it's population merits? So one Albertan vote is more important than a vote cast elsewhere in the nation?

(2) It would appear that you think you are deserving of more power on the basis of having more oil. Therefore MONEY should control the electoral process even more than it does now? Give power to haves while strip it from the have nots?

As for McGinty - to presume that what Ontarians agree on everything with McGinty would be a huge mistake. But, yes, there are some Ontarians that greedily would rather keep the wealth in the province and the have-not provinces be damned. [/b][/quote]
1. To be honest I'm not sure what the right type of election re-form should be. There are far more intelligent posters on that subject than I. But I have a problem with the fact that my federal vote is useless. The East decides how governs in Ottawa. I have a problem with that.
2. No that's not what I'm saying at all. My point was about why Albertans feel they way they do.
