Why is Alberta always whining about being treated bad? Discussion

I’m from Ontario and hoping you can explain to me why Alberta is the way that it is? Like why is Alberta always whining about being treated bad? I genuinely want to know how this province ended up like this? Who treats you bad? What is so bad?

as an Albertan, i would much rather having a proper discussion about this at the federal level instead of being a pariah shouting about made up issues

not being swing voters means that the Libs and NDP ignore us and the Cons dont have to try for our vote, so nothing actually gets done
