Not wanting to get into this mudslinging but as I have stated before
put Cascadia in front of me and I am outahere.
BC,Alberta,Washington,Idaho, Montana and Alaska maybe Sask and Oregon.

Till then it is pretty tough task to leave as a single entity/province.
20 -30 years from now it could be happening,even in America.

I would support seperating if we had even more than Quebec has now.
But we as a province have much less. Our infastructure is minute compared to Quebecs, they have controlled many Fed intiatives for decades.
Pension,kids,municipalties,trade, etc and on and on.
Quebec shouldn't seperate just like we shouldn't think about it.
But if a governing body makes it harder to placate it's own citizens you have to look at being your own governing body.

Whatever Alberta is fortunate to do,let's drag Sask along.

While I am stating political bullcrap; Alberta should invest all that extra dough into water. As it comes out of our mountains virtual pure, we should learn how to maintain that purity right into sask and beyond. Become the number one R and D fellers in the world for and about water.Huge industry now and bigger fifty years from now. and We are working right from a source.
