This is why Alberta is politically weak relative to it's value in confederation.

Quebec knows how to play their cards. In Alberta, none of the major politcal parties need to try very hard to impress them.

If Alberta shocked the country and voted Liberal in one election, we would suddenly see a lot pandering for their votes.
