„Ive got mine“ mentality. Fast forward to sometime in the future when Alberta oil isnt viable vs other cheaper sources and will they be cool being a poor country? Will they want back in?

Ask the Brits how they feel about Brexit now. Oops, [I guess someone already did](https://yougov.co.uk/politics/articles/51500-few-britons-think-brexit-has-been-good-for-anything). [Recent public opinion surveys](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potential_re-accession_of_the_United_Kingdom_to_the_European_Union?wprov=sfla1) indicate that about half of Brits now want to rejoin the EU.

lol while keeping Canadian currency and passports. Not gonna happen, ask Quebec how separation tends to work out.

Don’t let the loud minority fool you, a majority of Albertans think this is ridiculous.

Alberta has 12% of the population, and 11.8% of the seats in Parliament. So hard to support their “no representation” argument.
And it was the Conservatives (federally) who introduced equalization payments. Multiple conservative governments could have addressed this – but didn’t.
Finally, who got the oil pipeline to BC done? It wasn’t the Conservatives.
