Honestly, the Liberal's have done a terrible job of campaigning and trying to get votes in Alberta so instead of blaming Alberta voters you should blame the Liberal's for not trying to make in roads in this province.
At least the conservatives have worked at getting Ontario votes.

I think he's complaining that Albertans can't really influence the outcome of elections because this province only has about 10% of the seats in the House of Commons and most elections result in a greater than 10% seat differential between the winning party and second place.
What he apparently is not realizing is that his complaint could be equally applied to almost every other province (even Quebec!). How many times in the last 50 years has Nova Scotia or Saskatchewan, for example, been the difference-maker in a federal election?
