As it stands I don't feel any pride in being Canadian anymore. This country doesn't function, there's no coherent national identity. That's no more evident in the large amount of "Canadians" taking glee in Alberta's pain right now. We're a loose conglomeration of territories that basically came together by acciddent

If Alberta had a port are we even having this discussion? Seems like we would have a pretty easy time getting the oil to tidewater.
I don’t know that I buy the idea that we are only identified by our oil industry though. That basically surmises that once we get (another) pipe to tidewater that we’re all set. I have a hard time believing that. I wonder about the whole idea of western alienation to begin with though, in part because having a PM from here for a decade didn’t seem to make a significant difference.
