Agreed.

But the systems clearly broken, and either it needs to be fixed and addressed, or the country breaks apart anyways.
I remember Paul Martin swore up and down that he was going to address the democratic deficit and the unhappiness in the west or his term as Prime Minister would be deemed as a personal failure. After 17 months of ineffective rule he's actually pushed Alberta further away, and Quebec has become more dis-enfranchised. Its time that these issues were met and fixed and Alberta was treated as a partner in the confederation, not as the angry ######ed little brother.

Agreed again.
I'm not saying that we need to be happy with the way this country is being run. You said it youself: it's broken & needs to be fixed.
Separation is something drastic. It's not mending anything... it's packing up and leaving and saying "screw it."
Nothing good comes of a party being in power for so long. I guess I don't equate "fixing" with separation. Though little threats to put pressure on the federal gov't isn't so bad.
tranny- A poor choice of argument and words re: the conservatives. Looking at it from the outside- in: Conservatives= anti-Liberals. There's a lot of people who would equate the two. And there are a lot of people who would take it a step further and include pro-separation Albertans (and all their crazy ideas) to that too.
