I am tired of listening to Alberta complaining other provinces have more than them.

Alberta suggested they would drop out of the Canada Pension Plan. This would only hurt the average Albertan. They want their own police force like Ontario’s Provincial police. Can they afford it?

Alberta is losing billions of dollars each year by not having a provincial sales tax like all other provinces.

If Alberta wants what others have, start provincial sales tax and stop crying.

I am old enough to remember when Alberta was putting millions of dollars aside from gas royalties. Where did all that money go?

The premier of the time had no sympathy for Eastern Canada. which was paying big money to heat their homes; in fact, he said to tell Easterners to put on another sweater.

Alberta keeps alienating themselves from the rest of Canada and does not deserve our sympathy until they join the rest of us and elect a few members of parliament on the government side.
