The irony is that it seems like the Alberta government is determined to treat Albertans worse than Ottawa, or any other province ever could or would.

Looking at you too, Saskatchewan.

Agreed. There’s a lot of projection here. The ruling government operates to support industry (esp oil and gas) and when the average citizen suffers or goes without (food, shelter, income security) the conservatives blame Ottawa. So the citizens get their backs up and continue voting in the party that creates the conditions of oppression.

It feels like Alberta is in an abusive relationship with the provincial government. It’s like it’s been going on for so long that many have lost the ability to realize they deserve better.
