I hope Saskatchewan would follow, and if BC wanted to get together, I might agree to the tax if it all was put into renewables and transit in Western Canada.
Let the eastern bastards freeze in the dark. Dion first. It will be good in the long run for us, yeah, what the disgusting liberals always say. I would find a small tax cool, along with a carbon trading system just for the western provinces.
I should be honest, I hated the east when I had to live there for a few years, I didn't like the culture or the people and how shallow and pc they were. We don't need em, so why are we still here, do we get off on the abuse and the drama, and believe we deserve it like some battered woman?

I love your battered woman analogy because I've used it myself before and it makes perfect sense. For us to continually put with all of this — makes us look like we are idiots and afraid to stand up for ourselves. We need to start calling the shots since we are the ones paying the bills in this country. Screw Dion and his carbon tax. Stelmach, Wall, etc. need to tell Ottawa we want immediate Senate reform (nothing less than Triple E will do), the end of equalization payments, electoral reform, the number of members of parliament from each province to be based solely on population (get rid of ancient deals favoring Quebec and the Maritimes) and readjusted with each census (also no more expanding of Parliament--it'll bigger than the House of Representatives in the US before you know it) and the abolishment of the CBC, CRTC and all of other institutions that are nothing but taxpayer supported cheerleaders for the Liberal party. If we're told to go to hell I say we separate at once and pass laws forbidding companies from trading with eastern Canada. They need us a lot more than we need them.
