Sad to read, but Alberta's not the only ones that are probably feeling that way. BC and Quebec have continually ignored the current setup of the Constitution, Saskatchewan is picking fights with the Federal Government as well.
Its probably time that Canada redefines provincial powers, the original Constitution was put in place to build a country that needed strong Federal Powers, at this point the world has changed and the Federal Government is either ineffective or just plain can't build consensus, which is becoming a impossible task.
We're not as strong of a nation as we were, and that's to be expected, we're a collection of regional interests that don't get along all that well.
