It's too bad that that's how each side views the other because like I stated, it just drives a wedge between the two sides and creates so much animosity that you can't have constructive conversations about what will make Canada better. At the end of the day, I truly believe that both sides want better lives for themselves, their children, and all Canadians in general, but until we put our pitchforks down and try and understand the other side rather than demonizing them, we won't be able to make the progress we need to ensure a prosperous future for Canada. I know I'm guilty of it too sometimes.

Alberta as a whole cares way too much about what everyone thinks about them. We may or may not think you are a bunch of yokels, but 99.999999999% we just aren't thinking of you at all. Just like you aren't thinking about us. No one hates Albertans or wants harm to them.
If you seriously did decide to to have a real referendum about leaving Canada - we'd all parade down to Calgary or Edmonton and have a big rally and hope you'd stay.
