It was always well known in political circles that Alberta would be the first province to secede from Confederation.
Why?
Because they have been footing the bills for the east, namely, Ontario and especially Quebec, for decades through transfer payments to the provinces.
The wealth generated by Alberta is substantial from oil and energy. Yet, the same elites in the East continued to piss all over Alberta and their aspirations, referring to them as racists and backward asshats with no environmental conscience.
The Laurentian Elites, who govern Canada, that is, the wealthy families of Quebec and Ontario who control Canada, are about to be bitch slapped in the face by Alberta, a rude awakening if you like. Hw ironic that the man at the helm in Ottawa, Mark Carney, is an Albertan.
If Alberta secedes, it looks like the Separatists in Quebec will have no one to pay their bills. Do people understand now that the Separatist movement in Quebec was about the extraction of wealth from the West, specifically Alberta? It was a farce, blackmail. The game is coming to an end if Alberta secedes.
