Anyway I feel like this is a stupid argument. Westerners (not just Alberta and Sas but many of us in BC and Manitoba as well) are annoyed at the policies that are being applied to us that curtail our economies. We aren't asking for money, we aren't asking for help, we are just asking to be left alone. And you must understand our bafflement when people in the east are angry because we don't want to listen to them?
To me this feels like a family relationship, you have one adult who is less successful that is being supported by the other telling the one that is more successful what to do because he feels he knows better. Of course, the adult that is more successful thinks he's doing the right thing and is angry that the less successful adult is telling him what to do while taking his money.
Of course the adult thats more successful and supporting the less successful one feels he knows what to do better than the less successful mooch.
So yeah, in summary why can't you just let the West do what it wants to do? Why must you force your policies on the West? We give you money, can't you be happy with that?
