    Bear with me for a moment:

    (1) Ontario wants to ban natural gas from Alberta

    (2) Ontario does not want a pipeline from Alberta.

    (3) Ontario has the largest per ...capita debt. of any "state" jurisdiction in the Western world.

    (4) Ontario wants $9billion in equalization payments from Alberta.

    (5) Ontario wants us to buy their wine.

    (6) Ontario wants Albertans to buy their cars.

    (7) Ontario wants us to build our oil rigs, drilling stock there.

    (8)Ontario buys 90% of their energy from the U.S.A

    (9)Ontario buys 65% of their beef from the U.S.A.

    Isn't there something wrong with this picture?

    (9) B.C. receives millions in tourism dollars from Alberta.

    (10)B.C.ships millions of board feet of lumber across Alberta

    (11) B.C.ships thousands of bottles of wine to Alberta.

    (12) B.C. won't approve our pipelines.

    Are Albertans becoming Patsy's? Are we crazy?

    Where is the Federal leadership in this country?

    What's wrong with this picture?

    I guess I just feel that we should be Canadians first!

    I've been in favour of Alberta Seperation for years. Or for kicking Quebec and Ontario out of Canada. Either one is A-Okay with me lol.

    Not yet. June 1st I can head back. Kind of nice having some time off though. Figured I may as well enjoy it since there's nothing a guy can do until he gets back up there.

    Kathleen wynn us a big problem to everyone in Ontario but realistically we can't be that bad . Since the oilfields of Alberta went for a #### quite a few trucking companies have moved into Ontario to come cut rates here. What I can't understand is with the amount of money that was made in Alberta when it was booming how is it that so many truckers are starving and coming to work Ontario jobs that Ontario trucks don't even want to do because the money is no good.

    This is the first "bust" I've ever had to live through. I moved to Alberta in early 2009 when the last boom started. When times are good these companies buy all the trucks and equipment they can to gobble up market share. Then when things tank its either cut rates elsewhere or let the bank come and take it all.
