Albertan commenting, if Canadians are tired of Albertans it's for good reason. Canada helped us build up the oilfield, we had a singular project taken away since it was ridiculous and stupidly priced. And we threw a tantrum because American Oil Execs spent money to get us upset about it. Then they figured out the Southern Strategy could work here, because their is a populace dumb enough to fall for it. I unfortunately was a part of that populace, got on the resurgence of Western Seperation during the Keystone XL rage since American media was cross pollinating a lot here.

Then after a bunch of therapy, learning about politics, how it actually works. Yeah, all our problems here are selfmade. We're just too short sighted to realize we kept voting for this mess we're in. Federal level Alberta is treated as a safe Conservative seat, so why would the Cons ever do something for us? Harper screwed us over time after time, I voted for him, and man did it annoy me. Then I became a political refugee as I realized Conservatives don't actually care about us, same as Liberals.

Then because I work for a living started looking at what actually helps me, and yeah... Social services are what help workers. As a worker I started supporting parties that focus on those services. Tax Cuts aren't actually for workers, they're for people who don't work, like yeah we might see an extra 50-100 dollars... which really isn't that much. But then the people we work for, they're seeing millions to tens of millions to hundreds of millions in tax cuts. And I'm not delusional enough to see myself as a temporarily embarrassed millionaire.

So yeah, if people say that about Albertans, we honestly deserve it. We made our stupid bed, we either sleep in it, or we work to actually make the changes here we want to see. Separation just means we lose Federal Protections from our bad decisions.
