I suppose the other option is a constitutional amendment that significantly broadens the jurisdiction of Alberta and significantly narrows the jurisdiction of the federal government and the other provincial governments. But that will probably be a hard sell.

I'm not Albertan, so outside of understanding the benefits of the oil & gas industry to the rest of Canada, I don't view everything through that lens.
But the constitutional amendment is a good start.
An energy corridor would also be a good start.
You know what would also be a good start? Legalizing direct to consumer alcohol sales in Canada across all provinces. Why can't I buy booze online from Quebec, BC or Alberta? Just a small example, but a good example of braindead polices that negatively affects all Canadians.
