I have to admit though, I grew up in Ontario, but right close to the Manitoba border. I never really felt part of Ontario as Toronto was more foreign to me than cities like Winnipeg and Calgary.
I lived in 5 different provinces (Ontario - both north and south, BC, Alberta, Manitoba and Quebec). No matter where I lived, I never got the impression that people anywhere, Ontario and Quebec included, dislike Alberta in any way. That is on the street level. I can't speak towards federal policies and such, but Alberta has a good reputation as far as I am concerned.

My inlaws, from near Toronto just laughed when I talked to them about western alienation years ago. They have no ill will at all, and didn't even know there was such a thing. Of course, once I mentioned it I have to hear about "visiting them in the center of the universe" and things like that, but that's about it.
