Hope you had fun with your kids, and I am sorry if I insulted you by saying that you only came to Québec to enjoy our nice and cheap sps. Nevertheles I can talk about western Canada and Québec with some knowlege after living some 10 years in Alberta an BC and some 25 in Québec. you are Lucky to have a good job in Alberta which allows you to work 7 months and to take 5 months off. But the question is : how long will that last? What a bout in 20 years from now, when your kids will be adults, could it be that Québec and Ontario will help out Alberta? The conservatives have been running Alberta for so many decades. Is it because they are so good politicains (mind you I always been a fan of Peter Lougheed) no, it's because things have been so easy for them with petro dollars fluiding in.This being said, they still managed to make a mess out of the original multi billions Heritage Trust Fund . On another hand, Ontario and Québec economies are not that bad compared to the rest of the world and still more secure and diversified than the Alberta's in the long term.
What I don't understandd is why Québec separatists always get pintpointed, blamed and insulted by people who say they don't give a shit about Québec but still don't want it to separate from Canada and still allow their own separatists movements to grow. Western Canada Concept and wild Rose Party to name a few in Alberta.
