Interesting statement from you...definitely more nuanced than I might have thought from some of your other posts.
But one thing that I disagree complete with you is that most Albertans reject a tax and spend socialist paradise...they want that, and they don't want to pay for it, believing instead that 'the oil' should pay for it, and leave their taxes low while they get as good if not better services than can be found in the rest of the country because they are in Alberta.
