Lets face facts, this province (alberta) is unimportant to the rest of the country unless we're pumping money to the governments and providing mass employment for provinces with bad economies.

Alberta is as important as its population warrants. Probably moreso, considering, the money and business clout here. Calgary is in the national news far more than Winnipeg, Hamilton, and Quebec City put together. Should each individual Albertan have more say in Canada than each individual Quebecer, just because we live in a province with a smaller population?
Personally, I'm a lot more put out the huge disparity in voting power that rural Albertans have over urban Albertans, and the consequent transfer of money out the cities and into rural Alberta to buy votes there.
