With Oil prices projected to stay low for a long time into the future, the Keystone project might die anyway.

Albertans agree with you...but I suspect for different reasons than you probably mean. big grin

I know many Albertans agree for different reasons. They would have Trump as their "President/Prime Minister" in a heartbeat for example.

If they could secede they would. Tough for a landlocked province to do that though.

They have no worries. The creepy, Sleepy Joe does not stand a chance. Worst, Obama will be campaigning for him.

Here is why.

In just 11 years, Albertans have paid out almost $240 billion to the rest of Canada.

That number is more than one-and-a-half times as much as B.C. and Ontario combined, whose taxpayers pitched in $54.6 billion and $97.9 billion respectively, the other two largest net contributors to the federal balance sheet.

Were you guys around, when Pierre introduced the NEP, that when Alberta wake up.

In October 1980, Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau introduces a tougher, more rigid national energy program (NEP). During a decade-long energy crisis, the federal government wants more control over the country's energy. Ottawa also says that Alberta's oil profits must be shared throughout the country. Alberta's Premier Peter Lougheed says he'll take Trudeau's NEP to the courts. In the House of Commons, Trudeau surprisingly responds that Lougheed is taking a "reasonable and rational approach." Alberta Progressive Conservative Senator Bud Olson is impressed with the prime minister's conciliatory approach. But in this CBC Radio clip, Barbara Frum asks Olson if the invitation implies that Trudeau knows or believes that a court will always find that the federal power has more authority.

Do you have anything on other periods in time when money generated by Ontario is siphoned across the country?

Alberta have any money now? Did they squander all dat oil money living life of excess or what?

We had a Heritage fund, during Peter Lougheed and up to the early years of Raph Klein.
Albertans benefitted from some of that fund.
When the rest of Canada was paying 21% mortgages in the Eighties, Albertans was paying 12 1/2 %.
Pierre Trudeau gave way to the east and Quebec.
I remember Albertans saying,"Last the Eastern bastard freeze to death, during the 80's, Peter Lougheed the Canadian and Premier he was, tell us Albertan, The Eastern bastards are our friends, we have to help them.
I've been living in Alberta for 50 years, 90% of the province, that work in the petroleum industry has problems with the revenue paid to the rest of Canada.
