Ontario Boy: "Did you know there are a lot of hard working people in Alberta that feel like your government doesn't care about them and that they don't matter?"

Pierre Trudeau: "That's right. They don't matter!!!"
I'm picturing Trudeau as Vince McMahon here.

Out of curiosity, why did Trudeau dislike Alberta?
