Separation might become the only viable alternative from a protest vote stance since the Conservatives can't make inroads into Ontario no matter who they have leading them.

Conservatism has become the poster boy for the West.

The only reason why I would support a Western Separatist party is so we can get the same kind of political clout as Quebec and actually force a place at the table in federal policies and politics, because going through the standard Canadian "democratic" process is fruitless when you have a government that thinks one of its regions is inherently evil and backwards thinking.
That has become my viewpoint as well. I couldnt have articulated it better.

I used to hate Quebec for all of the seperatist talk. But now, I realize it may be the only way to be heard at all.
