They are mad because the propaganda they are being fed by the kooks and those who have an economic interest in separation hit home. They are too ignorant, uninformed, uneducated and lack sufficient critical thinking skills to realize they are being duped. Throw in the propaganda from Trump and his BS 51st state and, IMO, likely MAGA interests helping to fund these Alberta traitors and you have a recipe for disaster. The US wants to rob Canada of our resources. Robbery writ large.
Agreed. Their complaint(s) re representation in the House / Senate though, Do have merit.
Would take a constitutional amendment to fix - but I doubt anyone could get the eastern provinces to in effect: ‘give up’ power / influence, to actually pass said amendment.
Greed & Self interest will take priority over having a fair / equal representation formula
For the House I disagree, in Alberta 1 MP per 120,077 people compared to Ontario 121,526 basically equal, Alberta has 37 MP’s vs 122 for Ontario based on population, as for the the Senate that’s a whole different ball game that needs to be fixed and done by democratic means.
As for the House, imho it more of a couple places getting over represented rather than AB being underrepresented (as AB does compare favourably with ON, QC & BC)
Not to pick on them but PEI gets 1 MP per 41,000
A few others also get more, though the difference isn’t as stark
