We lose again and the West returns to talks of separation. The alternative is voting for a party today that isn't by platform or history at the least interested in the West's best interests.
At least Harper has a stake in both the West and Central Canada. What you might call "taking for granted" only goes so far and Harper knows it. Harper also knows that oil is the driving force in the Canadian economy today. He wont pander to the enviromental lobby at alberta's expanse. Can the same be said for the Liberals?
