What's your obsession with distance? are you a Canadian? OK, you should know the country is big. It doesn't make a point valid. Maybe just do some reading and understanding. This does a good job explaining it.

And you should care. Because if, say, BC decides to private all healthcare, and put all federal dollars into laser vision surgery for those with incomes about 500k a year, you are going to have a lot of people from BC coming here. And then Smith and the like will have to put up inter-provincial migration barriers, to prevent immigrants using up all our healthcare, and then we no longer live in a country.
Like, this isn't complicated stuff. It's covered in grade 10 social studies(please don't look that up).
Side note here, if you find yourself siding with positions that our enemies like Putin would like us to hold because it creates conflict, destroys economic certainty, and ultimately divides unions(Brexit?) and weakens adversaries, and you also see this trash peddled on Facebook and Xitter by deeply untrustworthy sources(like Post Media), maybe sit back and ask yourself if you are being manipulated, and if this is actually better for you and your country. Buying into divisive bull#### because you feel aggrieved by your own people is not a winning stance.
I just read Lorne Gunters piece, and besides ridiculous typos, it's a sad excuse for journalism reinforcing unreasearched data and positions because the "journalist" agrees with it, and is probably being compensated well to peddle it. An actual professional would be embarrassed to have their name next to it. Not once does he mention Smith begging for more immigrants in the past three years. Or fact check. And also take someone else's work, and expands conclusions beyond even what the data said.
This is the absolute garbage being put out by an American owned corporation convincing Albertans of a reality that does not exist, to support a dishonest hypocritical government. A real reporter would be asking why she changed her tune so suddenly, and if she was wrong before or now. Stop reading this propaganda.
