@Smileyyeg Yes. Those were the days when religion and politics were mainly kept as personal. Some things change for the better, and some not.

@acoyne “Optics” is not applicable, and “concerns” is not adequate.

I’m so tired of the separatists saying “Albertans want…”

I’m Albertan. I do not want what you want.

Then they come at me with “well you’re not a TRUE Albertan.”

Dude, I pay higher insurance, wait forever in ER’s & cheer for the Oilers. I’m all in.

Sorry, not sorry.

Alberta joined Confederation in 1905, not 1867. The founding deal was already written, the rules were already set, and Alberta signed onto an existing arrangement. Then Alberta struck oil.

Now Alberta wants to rewrite the constitution it inherited. Think about that dynamic for a second.

You are the new hire. You did not build the company. You did not negotiate the founding partnership agreement. You showed up decades later, accepted the terms, and were handed a desk. Then you hit a massive sales streak and suddenly you want to vote like the CEO and renegotiate the partnership from scratch.

The original partners, Ontario and Quebec, built the institutional framework, absorbed the risk of Confederation, and carried the country financially for generations before Alberta was even a province. The equalization system Alberta despises today exists because the founding provinces understood that regional economies are uneven, and a country only holds together if the arrangement is broadly fair over time.

Alberta’s contribution to Canada is real and significant. The oil revenues that flowed east supported federal revenues and transfers for decades. That deserves acknowledgment.

But “we generate revenue now” is not the same as “we designed this institution and therefore get to unilaterally change its rules.” Every new partner in any organization brings value. That does not automatically translate into governance authority that overrides the foundational agreement everyone else built and agreed to.

If Alberta wants more weight in Confederation, the path is constitutional negotiation with the other partners. Not threats. Not sovereignty referendums. Not pretending the founding compact was illegitimate because it predates your membership.

You want a seat at the head table? Earn it through the process that exists. You do not get to flip the table because you are currently the top salesperson.
