In it's most simplistic form, what we're seeing is the Liberal government buying votes in Quebec using money they steal from Alberta. Quebec always tries to justify that they are deserving of the handout they get, but the reality is that the equalization program is very, very broken. It is neither fair nor equal. Especially when the current Liberal federal government is going out of its way to cripple Alberta industry, but still grabbing that same industry's profits to hand out to Quebec. The Liberals know where they can get the most value out of vote buying, and that is Quebec, closely followed by Ontario. Sort of like the old American beef with the Brits about taxation without representation... we're in a very similar sort of situation.

LOOK, it's easy to claim the resources of Alberta as "your" own instead of as part of a whole... Canada. The thing is, eastern Canada was settled first. As such, the resources were exploited and depleted in those areas first. Think coal reserves, fisheries, lumber, etc. What you forget is those areas paved the way to establish a system that allowed the West to become part of a thriving union when they had yet to develop. So, now that you have, you want to bail. Don't forget about all the infrastructure in place within the province that was developed and established with tax dollars from ALL parts of the country. If you secede, you owe. It's not as easy as just walking away. Ask Quebec. We need to work together, to bolster each other, trade with each other first, outside the country second. Alberta is a province rich in resources, you just need someone in Ottawa who puts all Canadians first. God willing, that is soon. By the way, as an Atlantic Canadian, I believe you have a fantastic premier. I agree with lots of what she says. You are lucky to have her in your corner. Our premier is working hard too, but it's an uphill battle for Conservative leaning provinces in this country. We need to band together

Just like with Alberta Healthcare…launching another useless, time consuming and wasteful “inquiry” to find out why doctors and nurses were quitting and leaving Alberta healthcare and why the system was so broken. I do not trust Smith as she came out “guns blazing” like Jason Kenny and then immediately started backtracking and apologizing at every turn. She also did nothing and did not support the 6 persons who were illegally detained and jailed by the RCMP from the Couts protest. To be blunt, look into who these Conservatives really are…they aren’t as advertised…

Actually you are only partly correct... most politicians are included in the "power corrupts" statement. However Danielle Smith has accomplished and/or working on a huge amount of what she has promised already. Even Poilievre will be using some of her successes in his plan, or so he said publicly. She has found out that in government there are too many steps and too much paperwork to get anything done fast and her gov't has been successful in eliminating some provincial paperwork requirements. Check out the gov't successes in the past year...its all available online. I formerly worked for govt and saw it go from ease of work to totally complicated...constantly recreating the same thing with more work😮. Her caucus is completely on her side. We have the best Premier in all of Canada, Scott Moe's is next! Kenney got bought out! If you don't like how she works maybe you should try for the job yourself.

Alberta has accepted equalization payments, they have also received billions in farming and energy resource subsidies. They benefit from federal rules on logging and they depend entirely on Canadians from other provinces to provide workers for all of these industries. The fact is that Alberta is in the position it is because they sell their meat, grain, oil and lumber to Canadians outside of Alberta. I completely agree there are major issues with Quebec and a bit of an issue with the maritimes but most other provinces (especially Ontario) were contributing FAR, FAR more to Canada’s economy than they receive in equalization payments or than Alberta does.

The Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipelines from Alberta, to Kitimat was planned but never built. The reason BC needs to import fuel from the US is the trans mountain pipe is used solely to send dilbit to China from their 1/3 ownership of Fort Mac. The twinning will send some crude to the small refinery in Burnaby BC and then diverts to Washington State. You really need to educate yourself rather than believe Alberta is some oil giant.
