Correct you are.
Including addressing perceived unfairness of many provinces towards Alberta.
Quebec wrote the playbook on how to get treated federally, alberta will only be following that lead.
Truly there is not a reason not to if the belief is that Alberta come out the other side further ahead....whatever that looks like. I would say they have enough ammo on the fight to get a resource through other provinces alone, never mind the equalization argument.
getting the Feds to the table is step 1, and without getting rulings from the SC or appeals court etc, maybe a real dialogue between all involved helps things to a compromise.
Again, it cannot hurt anything and the masses clamoring about costs etc are merely trying to deflect from the actual reasoning for it to begin with
Alberta feels entirely disenfranchised from the rest of the country and it needs to be dealt with.
