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.

There's a difference between talking about clout because of seat size and having a government treat a region with disdain.
Or making the playing field unequal because of voter support for the party in power.
