3. Policies that restrict development of our resources e.g. C-69, C-59, C-48
4. A highly biased press funded by the Federal Government e.g. CBC

I find it ironic that Alberta and Quebec are the most alike of any other two provinces in this country for their standoff-ishness and "woe is me" attitude. Feels like it's always these two provinces that have the radicals threatening to separate.
The big difference is, Quebec can be a swing province for politics because, in general, Canada as a whole is more left leaning, so Cons need the west to win government, but the Liberals don't. So Quebec can flip flop between the two and have influence, where as the West, we always vote conservatives, and the cons just squeak by as long as they get all our votes.
