Funny, if you look at the federal votes. Alberta and Saskatchewan are over 90% conservative. Saskatchewan votes NDP provincially though. We have had an NDP government(Think a little left of liberal) for the past decade and a half essentially. The cities are liberal the rural areas are conservative. Fucking farmers anyways. The simple fact is Alberta wasn't more say than they deserve based on the way our system works and that pisses them off. So they whine and cry and pound their fists demanding more power or else. The truth is that a majority of people are not seriously considering separating. I would like to see what Alberta would do once oil dissappears or is no longer the main fuel source for the world. I am sure they will come back crying to the rest of Canada.
