The population of Quebec seems to be the only one that understands this. Well, apparently Trump and Smith also understand this.
The warm and fuzzies are for your family and your pets - but if you are factoring that into your negotiations, you're at a disadvantage.

Look, I get that you are trying to be all edgy and everything, but this makes zero sense. This has nothing to do with sentiment or "leverage" (I'm not convinced that you really understand what that word means).
Albertans are also Canadians. They have a huge interest in protecting Canada's interests. Sacrificing Canada's interests to advance Alberta's is not "leverage". Its stupid (indeed, its approaching cut-off-nose-to-spite-face territory).
