@mpjgregoire Alberta Separatism has long been a popular idea with *exactly* a certain sort of person who's most likely to vote Tory here and be energetic about it---as that recent CBC study showed, folks who are well above average in terms of income and yet struggling to meet their financial obligations. It's the sort of people, and grievances, that fueled the creation of the Wild Rose party in the first place. So it's the grift in hand, worth two in the bush . . .
