Quebec lives on Alberta oil while Federal politicians stifle production

Energy for Quebec from Alberta you're welcome

Canada's power imbalances are flagrant

Notice the flow of oil from Alberta to Quebec? 

Used to be Quebec obtained a vast amount of its oil by shipments from tankers.

Quebec bought Saudi and Nigerian and Venezuelan. Not any more. Quebec now buys exclusively from Alberta shipped to Montreal from Michigan.

This is important to weigh in discussions because it means Quebec is now married to Alberta for energy security but no one acknowledges this.

Government actions to inhibit production are investment killers

In a united Canada, this would be standard operating procedure for Alberta to conduct commercial enterprise with Quebec. If the nation was governed by national interests instead of regional interests Alberta wouldn't feel separated from the proceedings of running the country and prospering in it.

Liberal  politicians from Quebec stifle production with a House of Commons vote to maintain the cap on Alberta's energy sector'It turns out that nobody wants to build a pipeline when the government bans you from producing the oil to put into it,' said Poilievre.

Why doesn't Quebec stay in its lane?

 ðŸ’žTrina LaGüerita🇨🇦🇲🇽 @LivinTheFringe said, on X.com, "No transfer payments? Thank you. We’re tired of supporting you welfare jackasses.  We’re first and foremost Albertans and the idea of not being associated with idiots who repeatedly vote for corruption, crime, drugs, inflation, wasteful spending, against free speech, net zero climate scams, and unacceptable immigration is quite appealing, actually.  We don’t need O&G subsidies, we need to work without the Government’s lead food on our necks.  Our passports will be one of the most sought-after in the world, because we’re not freedom-hating, prosperity-rejecting Liberals."

Which got me thinking, and talking:

Not to mention persecution of Western Canadians and Albertans like Tamara Lich @LichTamara  for protesting illegal shutdowns by unrepresentative government. 

The Liberal Crime Syndicate has infiltrated to the core of society. Best to leave them to their ways, and form a new country. They are beyond redemption and any association with bad people is bad association.

There is practically nothing to be said for the federal government that isn't invasive and obstructionist to western Canadian values, those of people who want to raise families in homes in stable communities.

The provinces are in charge of these matters, literally constructing and sustaining ALL the elements of civil society, from  democratically represented government, to grassroots communities sustaining first rate schools, all the way to universities, graduating doctors and lawyers, and engineers and scientists. 

The entire apparatus of a well-governed society in Alberta is grown from the grass roots.

Forming a nation in western Canada is practically the easiest thing in the world. Put up a fence at Manitoba and start charging a fee to come in.

I mean this sincerely. I take provincial elections seriously, far more seriously than federal elections involving cheating, conniving bastards who want to strip the nation of it's power.  SO fuck you. You had your shot. You missed. Western Canadians are running their own game from now on.

Here's a question that I asked Grok but which is easy to answer.  How much does Alberta spend on Healthcare for its citizens?

{ANSWER

In 2024, the Alberta government's health care operating budget was $26.2 billion, a 4.4% increase from the previous year. This includes $475 million for primary care, $4.4 billion for acute care, and $1.13 billion for mental health and addictions. Total health spending, including public and private sectors, reached $45 billion, or $9,370 per person. For 2025, Budget 2025 allocates $28 billion in operating expenses for health care, up $1.4 billion or 5.4%, with $22.1 billion aimed at improving access to quality health services and $644 million for primary care.}

I ask you, why do Alberta citizens pay $13 billion a year to Quebec. Albertans have their own bills to pay.

Why doesn't Quebec stay in its lane?

More to the point: Does Quebec really need to take $13 billion a year from Alberta's children and Seniors?

Then reply to our faces, "You cultureless Albertans stink of oil," which in fact they steal from Alberta as well. So really, and seriously, western separation is becoming imperative. Westerners are being shoved out of the country.
