I agree this is political capital, but it was a decision he had to make. Honestly, a have not Alberta would be disaster for this country. Seeing as Newfoundland and Saskatchewan are right there as well.
That would leave BC as the sole have province in the country. Where is BC going to find enough cash to pay for Quebec, let alone all of Canada?
Just like the Alberta NDP, the Liberals got in power and saw despite rhetoric how screwed central Canada is without us. No arrogance, just fact. If Ontario was a power house and not a basket case I doubt we see anything get approved. As it stands he has to get Alberta going quick before the slop stops flowing east.
