Ah, but they do love our money. And even with Alberta in a recession we're still going to dole out way more transfer money than we get back.
Albertans should simply refuse to file taxes next year.

The problem is that the federal government can only do so much. We saw this play out earlier this year with the Trans Mountain expansion that was approved and quickly challenged in court only to have that approval overturned. The issue there was improper consultation.
So for the federal government its a sticky situation. If they come out and try to ram something through it likely suffers that same fate. If they cheerlead for an option, they potentially compromise the independence and process.
