Sure the cash was actually paid by TransAlta but the note of support doesn't really seem necessary.
The difference between Quebec seperatists and people who want to protect Albertas interests are different. Quebec seperatists have no desire to be part of Canada.
Looking after Albertas interests doesn't mean that we don't want anything to do with the rest of Canada but rather to ensure that Alberta doesn't get ripped off in some form like what happened with the National Energy Program under the Trudeau Liberals. After all with the Liberal leadership currently going on they are more than happy to bounce around a carbon tax idea, which more or less will be a tax on the oil industry and will hurt the Albertan economy.
I'm proud to be a Canadian, however, I'm sick of the west being treated like crap and want it to stop.
