Yes. Canadian Federal politics are largely dominated by “haves” vs. “have nots”. Alberta has historically been a “have” province with a decent amount of money flowing in from oil and gas industries. They resent having to pay federal taxes to “have nots” like their agricultural neighbors with larger First Nations populations. The narrative goes that Alberta (and western Canada) is paying taxes to Ottawa and Ottawa is “too far east” to understand/care about Alberta.
It’s all BS, they have equal ability to elect MPs, but because oil and gas is on the way out they throw temper tantrums when they don’t get their way.
Does the voice at the federal table mean a bunch a CanadaTexas right wing bullshit?
