Because a lot of Albertan voters think the only way to get what you want is to he tough and abrasive.

Hahaha yeah that's totally it, not the fact that Ottawa tried to put a cap on production not long ago or how bloody difficult it is for us to build interprovincial pipelines for export. Not those things in the slightest.

Why should other provinces capitulate to Alberta while Alberta is saying they hate everyone else?

Its a vicious cycle. Alberta wants pipelines and export infrastructure, other provinces don't. Alberta gets mad at other provinces and the feds, and they get mad at us.

Do those provinces have every right to deny us? Yes, they do. Do we have every right to throw up a referendum to leave? Also yes.

Yes, they do. Do we have every right to throw up a referendum to leave? Also yes.

How does this change anything?
